A-W-A-N-A CORNER<br />
A-W-A-N-A (―Approved Workers Are Not Ashamed‖) meets on Sunday nights during the<br />
evening service from 6:15 to 7:45 throughout the school year. Our AWANA program is split up<br />
into three groups. Our Cubbies group (ages 3 and 4) meet in the beginner room. Our Sparks<br />
(grades K – 2) and Truth and Training (grades 3 – 5) groups meet in the primary room. Each<br />
Sunday night the children spend time learning verses from their handbooks, singing songs,<br />
hearing a Bible lesson and playing games in the gym.<br />
The goal of AWANA is ―to reach boys and girls for the gospel of Christ and to train them to<br />
serve Him.‖ We have been blessed with a great opportunity to reach out to our neighborhood<br />
and community. It has been exciting to see children from the community come in and be<br />
excited to be part of the program and even bring their friends.<br />
Please be in prayer for the leaders and helpers as well as the children that they may come to<br />
know Jesus as their Savior and grow in the Word. If you have any questions or would like to<br />
help in any part of our program, please contact Rob Burton at 610-558-8779 or<br />

<strong>WEEK</strong>LY PRAYER EMPHASIS<br />
<strong>MILITARY</strong> <strong>PERSON</strong> <strong>OF</strong> <strong>THE</strong> <strong>WEEK</strong>: Midshipman John Kania. USNAA, Annapolis,<br />
Md. Continue to pray for classes this semester. Pray for possible shoulder surgery - for<br />
the timing of surgery, that he will heal quickly so he can get back to regular training.<br />
COLLEGE STUDENTS <strong>OF</strong> <strong>THE</strong> <strong>WEEK</strong>: Sarah Baumann is a Freshman at the University<br />
of Pittsburgh. Jennifer Belluscio is a Junior at Delaware County Community College.<br />
LEADER <strong>OF</strong> <strong>THE</strong> <strong>WEEK</strong>: Gerry DeVita, House Committee, Board of Trustees<br />
MISSIONARY <strong>OF</strong> <strong>THE</strong> <strong>WEEK</strong>: Carolyn Hart, Retired, Bible Training Center for<br />
Pastors—Carolyn is in an Episcopalian Assisted Living facility in Little Rock, AR,<br />
where she’s getting excellent care. Her daughter, Holly, is close by. She moved there<br />
last April, likes it very much, has made friends, is involved in many activities, and has<br />
rejoined the Bible church where Buddy preached for many years. She has two wonderful<br />
granddaughters; a sophomore and senior in high school. Carolyn’s in the early<br />
stages of Alzheimer's and has some minor memory issues – forgetting to eat and not<br />
taking her pills. Being where she is, is an answer to prayer. Otherwise, her health is<br />
good. On a happy note, Carolyn, Holly, and her other daughter, Robin, who lives locally<br />
and works at Delaware County Christian School are going to FL the end of March<br />
where Carolyn used to live to see old friends. Pray for safety in travel and for them to<br />
have a good time. You can write to Carolyn at: 2801 Alders Gate Rd., Apt. 211, Little<br />
Rock, AR 72205. She would love to hear from you! “I will extol the Lord at all times;<br />
…” Ps. 34:1a<br />

accompany them to the Narthex in the back (where a children’s leader is available for<br />
any questions) and then return for the rest of the service.<br />

NURSERY WORKERS NEEDED FOR SUNDAY EVENINGS: Where can you spend an<br />
hour crawling around on the floor, acting silly, eating all the animal crackers and<br />
pretzels you want and storing up treasures in heaven at the same time? Where can<br />
you hold one of God's precious little ones, hear the delighted squeal of a toddler as<br />
they discover something new, read endless picture books and encourage Christ-like<br />
behavior in a two-year old? By volunteering to help in our nursery! At this time we<br />
are in need of workers in the nursery for the Sunday evening services! If you can<br />
serve in this way, please stop by the nursery counter to fill out a Volunteer Form or<br />
email Jody Puckett at jdplteach@verizon.net to sign up.<br />

Career Crossroads but, along with his family, also volunteers in other areas. Please<br />
join us for this enlightening discussion.<br />
LOOKING AHEAD<br />
THANK YOU to all who signed up a few months ago to be EMERGENCY RESPOND-<br />
ERS should the need arise. Your response was overwhelming. The new lists will be<br />
up soon. Also, as a reminder – there are First Aid Kits in every kitchen on campus<br />
and also in the nursery and on the wall outside the beginner dept. These are only to<br />
be used for emergencies on the church campus. If you take one from its specified<br />
location, please be sure to return it. The kits will be re-stocked as needed. If one<br />
breaks and cannot be re-hung, please contact Dave Pilgrim or Kathie Ida.<br />
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED GOING TO ISRAEL? There is still time to reserve your<br />
spot for the trip going from May 21 through June 1. Information and registrations on<br />
the 12 day trip to Israel and Jordon are at the information center. You can also call<br />
Pastor Lochmoeller at 610-259-1896 for more information.<br />
