NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

JANUARY 22nd 10:30 a.m.	ASSIMILATION SERVICE Officials with Central United Presbyterian Church on Waller Street announced Wednesday the congregation will be permanantly closing its doors on Sunday, Jan. 22, after an Assimilation Service. “First, Second and Central Presbyterian Church are having a combined worship service on Jan. 22 at 10:30 a.m. The service will be the final worship service at Central Presbyterian Church and really the end of the congregation,” the Rev. Stanley Webster said. The assimilation service will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a reception to follow. Please join us in welcoming the members from Central Pres and invite them to join us at Second Pres for worship and fellowship.
ENTER BY JANUARY 30th	SOCK IT TO ME Give-A-Way This is a good company with good products. I have purchased numerous bulk items for charities from them. All you need is a Facebook account to enter.  If you don't have a Facebook account, but have been thinking of getting one, this is the perfect time!  All you need is an email address. This Give-A-Way works like a raffle. The more entries (nominations) you have, the more likely they are to draw your name. If God's Pantry wins the top prize, we will have enough warm socks for our homeless clientele as well as some to donate to Mrs. Cadogan's homeless shelter and/or the Salvation Army.  It only takes a minute. Nominate God's Pantry on the page provided by the ENTER link below. "Like" the page and an entry form will pop up.  Please share this with your friends and family - especially young folks, who seem to utilize Facebook more than we "old folks." The contest ends on Jan. 30 and we'd like to have a good chance to win some socks.

Cents-Ability Collection	The 2011 4th quarter Cents-ability offering will be taken on January 1 and 8. Please gather up your loose change and bring it in to help the Second Presbyterian food pantry and other Presbytery hunger efforts.  The Outreach Committee appreciates your efforts.
A SPECIAL THANK YOU!	To our Trustees for the new lighting in the choir loft. The new lights on the cross are spectacular. The lights for the choir make it possible for us to see them more clearly and for them to be able to see their music. The stars on the ceiling are more visible now. It is absolutely beautiful!
MEALS ON WHEELS	Looking for a way to volunteer? We always need more drivers for Meals on Wheels! Think of how good it would feel to know you were part of a team effort to help seniors stay in their homes by providing them meals! Portsmouth’s Meals on Wheels program delivers meals to people in their homes. For years Second Presbyterian has been organizing a team effort to make the deliveries every four weeks, always on a Thursday.  If you would like to help, please contact the office.
Please continue to send any announcements not covered in the newsletter to crenda@aol.com.  Thank you!
