Godly Play .... for children of all ages
Sundays
10:15 AM service
Our Godly Play Education Program for all children, now takes place on Sundays during the worship service. Children begin our 10:15 AM worship service with their families. We then gather the children during the Gospel Alleluia and lead them to the Godly Play room just outside the sanctuary, after the Gospel. Children return to worship with their families at the Peace.
For now, there is no 9:00 AM Education hour for children. Adult forums continue at 9:00 AM for adults and youth. We hope this new schedule for families with children will be more user friendly on Sunday mornings.
For more information Contact Sue Ellen Echard in our office 215-234-8020 or by email

October is Fire Prevention Month
On Sunday, October 25, Neil Saunderson, a firefighter, Fire Police Lieutenant, and son of Carol Saunderson, possibly will be at the 8:00 AM service and definitely at the 10:15 AM service representing Upper Salford Volunteer Fire Company (USVFC). This is the fire company who services our area. During announcements Neil will briefly speak about fire prevention and the services of USVFC.
After each service, there will be a person holding a fireperson’s boot if you would like to give a donation of support. This is an opportunity to say “thanks” to our fire department for always being available to serve our community.

Creating Children’s Worship Bags continues!
New Seasonal items are being added to worship bags for the Season of Creation!
We are in the process of replacing our 'busy bags' with personalized 'Worship bags' for all our children. Each child will be assisted to create their own worship bag and each Sunday you bring your children they will now have their very own bag, with their name, that only they use each week. The bags live at church and over time will have new items added as appropriate to particular seasons and Sundays.
If your children have not yet had a chance to put together their very own bag, you can do so during coffee hour through the summer.. Special Guest bags are available until your children create their own. Angela Bartholomew will keep an eye out for children who haven't yet created bags and assist you in making them.
