Free Clothing & Shoe Giveaway – September 27 8 a.m.-12 p.m.
The Outreach Team is currently accepting donations of gently used clothing and shoes for men, women, teens and children. Your contributions may be brought in at any time and we will store them in the Bell Choir practice room. Participants also shared that there is a need for winter coats, hats and gloves.
Again, this year, we are pleased to partner with Super Shoes of Altoona to offer free new children’s shoes. If you are willing to purchase one or more pairs, please help yourself to a 20% off coupon available in the Fellowship Hall. These also suggest a size and shoe for boys or girls. This is to help us offer a variety. We thank you in advance for your support.
Pictorial Directory
We will be compiling a 2025 church family pictorial directory. It will include all member’s family portraits and roster information so we can stay connected. There is no cost to be photographed and every family will receive a complimentary 8×10 portrait. We hope you take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to make a treasured family keepsake. Only participating households will receive a free directory! Photography will take place September 16 – 17 from 2:00 pm until 8:30 pm. You can register online at www.ucdir.com (click scheduling login) (code pa1176) (password is photos). Please join us, it won’t be the same without you!
