Bountiful Blessings Product Drive

Good morning, church family.

Please remember to bring your nonfood items for Bountiful Blessing sessions. We have containers set up in the foyer area as you come in. We had great success at our last session as we helped 27 families, some from the flooded areas of Middletown and Highspire, and those in need. If you need  a list of items needed, please look at previous posts. If you would like to be a part of this vital ministry, please see Betty Porter or Betty Krieger.

I’m excited to announce that rosedalenazarene.org is getting SSL access!

Why SSL?

We are installing this technology onto rosedalenazarene.org so that we can guarantee that any personal data shared (name, email address, etc) is securely transferred and is not intercepted by unscrupulous or malevolent users.

What do I have to do?

High Hopes Activity for 10/09/11

Hello everyone!

High Hopes was unable to get out to go bowling last month, so we’re going to try for this Sunday, October 9th from 12:30pm-2:30pm.  I apologize for the short notice.  If the teens have plans for this Sunday, then we’ll try again the following Sunday. 

We will be going to ABC East Lanes.  Thei address is 1001 Eisenhower Blvd, Harrisburg, PA, 17111.  The cost is $4.25 per game per person, and $2.00 for shoe rental.  Please contact me if you have any questions!

Thank you and have a blessed day 🙂

Bountiful Blessing Drive for Products

Good morning, Church family.

I am excited that we have begun our product drive for Bountiful Blessings. In the last two weeks, we have collected over 400 cleaning supply items. This includes 150 items donated from our Lavelle Church. This means that our past session on September 27th and our next session scheduled for Oct 11th, we will be self-suffucient. This week, we ministered to 27 families, 5 of which were new to the program. Please! If you are able, please bring items with you on Sunday morning and we will again get enough items to supply the need. It takes around 250 items a session to be self-supportive.

Ministry to Lisa Lake Residents

This morning I was awakened by an idea to help the flood victims in our area. I faxed a letter to the Highpire Homes corporate office concerning the people at Lisa Lake. My letter invited the residents to be a part of Bountiful Blessings and to get personal care items and cleaning suppies. The letter asked for suggestions of ways that we could get this information out to the people who lived there and the people at the corporate office have graciously taken it upon themselves to make copies and distribute it to the residents through the main office located right in Lisa Lake.

Upcoming Events

Hello everyone! I hope you have managed to keep your head above water these last few days. My family is continuing to pray for those affected by the waters.

I wanted to take a minute to let you know some upcoming dates that you might want to make note of on your calendars. First event that is approaching is the annual trick-or-treat ministry. Trick-or-treat in Middletown should be October 27. I will be placing an announcement soon asking for donations of individually wrapped candies.

Prayer for the community

Church Family,

Please continue to be in prayer for those that have been evacuated from their homes and those that are fighting to keep water out of their basements.  It would be a great time to look around and see who you might be able to bless at this time. It is not always the ones crying the loudest that need a hand. Be looking and be sensitive to the person or persons that the Lord lays on your heart.

Let Me Hear From Rosedale

Lets see how many are reading the posts!   Give me a sermon title for this picture. Post it in the comments section.

Fall Fest is Coming

Mark your calendars now! Fall Fest will be Saturday, October 29th. There will be fun, games and FOOD! We will have an inflatable for the kids (weather permitting), as well as games and crafts.

Adding to this year’s fun is the first annual chili cook-off. Do you have a great recipe for chili already? If not, start looking now. There is plenty of time to perfect it.

Stay tuned for more updates as the date gets closer!

The children’s church department will be hosting a back to school activity for the kids ages 3 through 6th grade on Sunday, September 4 directly following church until 3pm.
