Wednesday Worship

kgood — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 20:24:25 +0000

One of the most beautiful spots in all the world is located a mile from our church: the riverview at the Wing Dam, at Prallsville Mills.

Each Wednesday in July, we will gather at 7:30pm at the river view for Wednesday Worship: Down By the Riverside. The worship service will be an informal and brief service that allows us to connect with God our Creator.

If traveling by car, you can take route 29 north past the town of Stockton, and you will see a “Prallsville Mills, Stockton Visitor Center” parking lot on your left. If you are walking the towpath from town, turn left right past the new Prallsville Mill Office.

We will not have a service if raining. Please contact Pastor Ken if you have a mini-sermon or story to tell, or you would like to take part in the service.

Many thanks to Holly Ziolkowski for designing a church brochure. The information used was gathered from our Summer Sunday School series “Let’s Get to Work”.

Perhaps you can keep a brochure in your glove compartment, or at home. This is a great tool to help you share about your church community.

Mosquito Nets Save Kids Mission Project

kgood — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:38:31 +0000

The cost to get a mosquito bed net to a child at risk for Malaria in Kenya is about $10. Much of that cost goes into shipping and handling. Nets have about a five year lifespan and need to be replaced. Each day, about 3,000 people die from Malaria in the world, mostly children and elderly.

The Elders of the Stockton church have approved a plan to equip local Kenyan citizens to start making a living by producing mosquito nets.

Dr. Brad Elder of Doane College is in Kenya developing a program to reduce cases of malaria, reduce dependance on foreign charity, clean up the environment and provide human dignity through employment. Dr. Elder is a contact of one of our Elders at the church.

The plan is to harvest plastic bags festering in bushes and trees throughout the Kenyan landscape, press them into 8-ply sheets of plastic, have holes punched in them and stitched into mosquito nets.

Approximately $1500 establishes an individual/church or civic group to start a micro-business making mosquito nets. The end product costs 5 cents to produce and can be sold locally at affordable prices. It is amazing to think that $10 could save a life…but what about 5 cents? By equipping the start up costs for a business, the end result is far more efficient.

Our goal at Stockton is to raise $3,000, enough to start two businesses. Our hope is to partner with the community. If you would like to help, checks can be made to Stockton Presbyterian Church. Please include Mosquito Nets Save Kids on the memo line.

Some of the items that are included in the business start up…

First aid kit, $62 (U.S. dollar amount)
Ironing Table, $106
Sewing Machine, $172
Rubber gloves, $125 for 80 pairs
Tailoring Scissors, $15 for 4
Overalls, $300 for 40 pair
Iron Boxes, $13 for 4
Tracing/wax paper, $17.50 for 20 meters

We are very excited about supporting this mission. We feel it has several positive elements, including human dignity, environmental sensitivity and economic empowerment, in addition to literally saving lives.

Thank you in advance for any way that you can help with this mission project. The peace of the Lord be with you.

Shoprite and Giant Cards

kgood — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 18:55:03 +0000

The Deacons are sponsoring a gift card program for all Shoprite and Giant grocery store shoppers. You can buy a gift card that the Deacons sell and the Deacons receive 5% of the money. The Deacon board then uses this money to help people in need or support programs of the church.

If you are a SHOPRITE type of person, please see Holly Ziolkowski.

If you are a GIANT type of person, please see Jason Fuhr.

It is one easy way to help out the church. And a great way item to tell your friends!
