Sewing Sessions to Make Pillowcase Dresses
Since Compassion Corps brought 88 Pillowcase dresses to Uganda this past month, we need help to sew more! The next group of dresses will go to Liberia in January, when four new orphanages will be visited.
Our sewing sessions are on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm at Betty Luzier’s home. The next session is September 10. For more information, contact Betty Luzier at (610)357-1523 or email her at betluzier@verizon.net.

 Join us in prayer in the prayer room (back of Room 101) after the 10 a.m. service.
Click here to learn more about our prayer ministry.
This week's prayer:
Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything. Unless in the first waking moment of the day you learn to fling the door wide back and let God in, you will work on a wrong level all day; but swing the door wide open and pray to your Father in secret, and every public thing will be stamped with the presence of God.
My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers August 23

Our next volunteer day is September 26 at 9:30 a.m.,
the fourth Saturday of the month.
 For September, we are collecting “Back-to-School” lunch packs which include any individually pre-packaged items or bulk items that require no refrigeration, such as: pretzels, popcorn, chips, peanut butter crackers, Goldfish® crackers, applesauce or fresh apples, pudding, Jell-O®, juice boxes, Yoo-hoo chocolate drinks, Uncrustables® sandwiches, jars of peanut butter and jelly, cans of tuna fish, jars of mayonnaise, and storage bags such as quart-size or snack size Ziploc® bags.
The Food Bank always needs non-food items which food stamps don’t cover, such as: diapers, baby wipes, dish & clothing detergent, toothpaste, feminine products, paper towels, shampoo, soap & toilet paper. They are very low on all sizes of diapers this month. Items can be left in the “Food Bank” bin in the church kitchen.

Support the helpHOPELive Yard Sale
Saturday, September 19
Ethan Kairer, a member of our community, suffered a serious spinal cord injury through a swimming accident in 2014. He is undergoing intense therapy to recover his strength and the use of his legs, and is making slow but steady progress.
A fundraiser sponsored by HelpHOPELive is being held to benefit Ethan.
The event, which is part of the “Great Media Garage Sale,” is Sat., Sept. 19 at 319 N. Edgmont Ave. Our goal with this sale is to help raise funds for at least 10 hrs. of specialized therapy services ($1,000) to help Ethan walk again. Media Presbyterian Church has a unique opportunity to “Love God and Our Neighbor” by helping to support this event.

2. Lend supplies such as folding tables, tarps, easy up or portable hanging clothing racks to help at the yard sale.
3. Volunteer to help staff the sale from 7-9am, 9-11am or 11am-1pm on Sat. 9/19.
4. Help get the word out about this yard sale, being held at 319 N. Edgmont Ave. on Saturday 9/19. Use this link for more information.
