The Messenger - March 2015 - (Page 2)

MARCH 2015 THE MESSENGER "Ham I Am" and "Say Cheese!" Tools for Ministry Tools for Ministry, the popular annual training event for local United Methodists is back. It will be held on Saturday, March 7 at Evangelical UMC in New Holland. Grandview presenters this year include Mary Merriman, Carolene Brubaker, Darryl Stephens, and Jeremy Graeff. Red Cherry Challenge Now is a great time to Buy Fair Trade Coffee! We have joined the Red Cherry Challenge with a goal of selling 175 lbs. of coffee by May 2015. So far we have sold 124 pounds. For each pound Equal Exchange will give 10 cents to the Red Cherry Fund to help farmers be stronger and more resilient. Come out on Tuesday, March 24 from 7-8:30pm and help us to make this a true community-building experience. We would love to balance out our table with a mix of both community members and church members. This particular Tuesday night might help you in preparing your Easter ham as we taste test and learn about styles of cooking ham hosted by S. Clyde Weaver, and with our own Robert Good taking part. We will be pairing our ham tasting with a scrumptious cheese tray! This series has a dual purpose in giving us a fun way to get to know one another and to invite others into the church. Consider signing up and bringing a friend for fun, food, and conversation. Sign up at the Hub. $5 per person/$6 per pair. MARCH...to a Different Drum Rhythm is all around us --- the rhythm of the rain, the sound of traffic and even our own heartbeats! Explore rhythms and be a part of a drum circle at Grandview. Join us at noon on Sunday, March 1 and March 15 for a light lunch. Tim Riggs will facilitate our drum circle beginning at 12:30 pm in the sanctuary. No previous experience is necessary. Sign up at the Hub. UMW Annual Service UMW will hold its yearly service of Prayer and Self Denial on Monday, March 9 at 10:30am in the Gathering Area. Dorothy Killebrew will be leading this service. All women are welcome to attend. The Gift of Gift Cards Since September 2008 Grandview has been selling gift cards offered by our local grocery stores. Giant, Oregon Dairy, Stauffer's, Weis markets, and Darrenkamps have been selling us gift cards at a discount of 5 to 10%. When our parishioners purchase the cards at their face value, the church receives the difference. Since 2008 we have made over $76,000 in gift card discounts. This money is used to support capital expenditures for the church and parsonage. In 2014 we received over $11,000 in discounts. It costs you nothing to participate in the program. The cards can be used as cash at all stores not just those in Lancaster County and can be used at Giant to purchase gas. Cards are available at the Hub or the church office to be picked up after church each week. 2
