Disaster Relief Auction
September 24 & 25, 2021
Lebanon Valley Expo, 80 Rocherty Road, Lebanon, Pa. The auction supports the work of the Brethren Disaster Ministries, a program of the Church of the Brethren, restores hope for the most vulnerable disaster survivors by engaging volunteers to repair and rebuild storm-damaged homes, and by providing grants to support the disaster recovery efforts of faith-based partners.

If you would like to see first-hand how the Board conducts the business of the District, plan to attend a meeting in person.

Laptops for Missions
Ongoing
Did you recently upgrade to a new laptop computer? Do you have an unused one lying around with power supply? Dayton Unger of the Shippensburg congregation will refurbish and update older computers for use by missionaries, seminary students and pastors. Windows 7 or newer is preferred. He uses a program to wipe out any information left on the computer. You may contact him at 717-385-6271 (leave a message) or dcunger17257@gmail.com. If you have any questions, contact Pastor Brian.
