Attention all Event Planners: Contact the church office with all dates and times for events so that they can be added to our centralized church calendar. As we add more events, it's imperative to have a centralized calendar system in order to prevent conflicts. This includes events held at the church and off-site, and ANY changes to previously scheduled dates, times and locations. Please contact Tammie during office hours or by email. Thank you.

Grace United Methodist Church Charge Conference was held Monday, June 27, 2011,  7 pm in the sanctuary. The results of the conference were as follows:

1. The new leadership structure (see the PDF information packet) was approved
2. Officers were elected for the remainder of 2011, July 1 – December 31 with one change; the Events Facilitation Team will be co-chaired by Carolyn Foust and Audrey Oakes
3. The empty Vice Chair seat on the Leadership Team will be filled by the Team.

This special Charge Conference was necessary as part of our Matthew 28 prescriptions.   There will be another Charge Conference in the fall to elect for 2012. Please plan to attend the Charge Conference. If you have any questions, please contact the church office at (814) 364-1701.

We Have A Neighbor In Need!
Jody Covalt, a 55 yr. old father of three, suffered a severe infection resulting in the amputation of his foot above the ankle at Hershey Medical Center the week of Sept. 13. The Jody Covalt Trust Fund has been established at Northwest Savings Bank, 219 N. Pennsylvania Avenue, PO Box 395, Centre Hall, PA 16828. The Covalt family has entertained and inspired folks in our area with their gospel singing for many years. We hope that you will prayerfully consider offering whatever financial support you can to the trust fund.

Church Checkers Needed: The Trustees check the church building and lock up every night. If you are willing to volunteer your time to do this for a month, please sign up in the hallway. Contact Richard Hosterman or the church office for more information. (You will be provided with a list of what needs to be checked.) Currently, we have NO volunteers which means that the same person does this several months in a row. You can see why it is very important to have new church checkers volunteer. Thank you!
