Hello everyone, this Lent Faith will be reading a book written by Thom S. Rainer called Autopsy of a Deceased Church: 12 Ways to Keep Yours Alive. In this book, Rainer discusses his experience talking with Christians whose congregation have died. From this experience, Rainer has observed 12 consistent themes among those congregations that have died. In his book, Rainer lays out these themes and how they may be used as lessons on how to keep our congregations healthy. Each week of Lent we will be reading and discussing two chapters. Multiple sessions will be offered for each week. All are welcome to attend! See you there!
If you are planning to attend, you can follow this link to purchase your book from Amazon, if you choose. Autopsy of a Deceased Church: 12 Ways to Keep Yours Alive

The Social Ministry project for February is to prepare Lunch Bags for the Keystone Opportunity Center Food Pantry in Souderton. We will be collecting food items during the month of February. There will be a poster with post-it notes in the foyer. You know the drill – take a post-it note and buy the item. Place it in the purple bin under the coat rack. On Sunday, March 3rd, the members of the congregation will be asked to help out during coffee hour by packing the lunch items into gallon zip-lock bags. We will then donate them to the Food Pantry at Keystone Opportunity Center. We will be making 2 sets of lunches – one containing peanut butter and jelly with chicken noodle soup. The other one will be tuna fish and tomato soup. This project will allow us to reach out to those in need and provide a nice lunch!
