SUMMARY:Church Women United’s World Community Day
DESCRIPTION:Church Women United’s World Community Day service will be held Friday\, November 1\, 2019\, at Pine Street United Methodist Church\, 441 Pine Street\, Williamsport at 1:30 in the afternoon.  The theme is The Time is Now! “Resolve to Love.”  The scripture is Colossians 3:14. World Community Day 2019 focuses on global peace and justice.  As women of faith we have a responsibility to reach beyond Christian denominations to brothers and sisters who are Muslim\, Buddhist\, Jewish and many others.  It is a move from an ecumenical to an interfaith orientation. Through mutual respect we can create an inclusive community that is just\, caring and supportive.  World Community Day began in 1943 from discussions at meetings of denominational presidents and executive secretaries asking that a day be set aside for the study of peace by church women.  Although we come with different cultures\, family traditions and religious practices\, those differences provide gifts that we can share with one another.   Join us as we honor and rejoice in those differences that will unite us in new ways and courageously resolve to love all our neighbors as a way to peace.  Refreshments will be served in the church fellowship hall following the celebration. \nCHRISTMAS STOCKING PROJECT:   We will be preparing gift items for over 1\,125 nursing home residents.  We are asking for a $4.00 donation per resident.   Items included in the stockings are: pen\, notebook\, hand cream\, emery board\, tissues\, comb and a Christmas card.   We also prepare 50 gift bags for children who have mothers in the State Correctional Institute at Muncy.  All donations will be used for the Christmas Stocking Project. \nWORKDAY MONDAY:    Filling of the Christmas stockings will be on Monday\, November 18th at Pine Street United Methodist Church\, Williamsport at 9 am.   Thanks to everyone who will be working on this project.  (Parking permits will be available at the church.)
