T h e Pa s t o r s N o t e s
During a sermon a few weeks ago I asked you to pray that God would lead you to someone who needed a word, a gesture, of Gods love and kindness, and for God to help you to know what to do or say. I also asked that you send me your stories of what happened. Here are three of them. Pastor Scott - I did not actually hear your sermon last Sunday but heard during Sunday School that you wanted a "God moment" e-mailed to you if we encountered them this week...I was at a foster care home where one of the individuals on my caseload moved to on Tuesday. I was talking to the woman who had the home before and now her brother and wife have it. Anyway, she had an adorable little granddaughter sitting on her lap (about 15 months old). I was saying how cute she was and what beautiful hair and eyes she had. (She was) one of those little kids you can't keep your eyes off of. Anyway, the woman then proceeded to tell me that the little girl's mother (age 34) has an inoperable brain tumor. She said that she had been through radiation treatments, chemo and is now very weak and things do not look too good....I told her that I would certainly pray for her and her family...The couple also has two older children (a boy and a girl.) I told her that I would ask my church to pray for her also. She handed me a nice card with their picture which I can bring tomorrow. So can you please pray tomorrow for Erin Youngbar and family. I will have her put on the prayer list next week for the bulletin. Pastor Scott - Several weeks ago, you preached a sermon and challenged each of us to take note of a time where God brought someone to us. Today, I ran into someone who works in the same organization as I do and I asked her how she has been doing- I was just making small talk. It was definitely a God-thing to bump into her, because I rarely get out of my office. She said that yesterday, she came this close to taking a whole bottle of pills, to end her life. I had an opening in my schedule and was able to pull her into my office and talk with her. And heres one that happened to me. About two weeks ago Im in the parking lot of Aldis loading my haul of groceries into the trunk of my car. Another car parks next to mine and two women get out. One of them looks at me and says, You look just like my former pastor. I say, Well, thats funny because I AM a pastor. We banter for a minute and then she says she really misses her pastor and shes really needed one lately. I ask whats going on and she tells me she recently had an MRI and her oncologist suspects her cancer has returned, this time in her lungs. She is going in for a lung biopsy the next day. I listen and tell her Im sorry for what shes going through and am about to tell her Ill pray for her when I instead say, How about we pray about this right now? We grab hands and pray together in the parking lot for her healing and they go into Aldis and I head home. Before we parted I gave her my card and asked her to let me know how shes doing. Sunday night, I get a phone call

Church Family
Thank you....
To all our family of CPC members and especially Pastor Scott we want to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for all your cards, phone calls, visitations and prayers passed our way during Tom's recent hospitalization and heart surgery. We know it had a lot to do with his recovery. We say, God Bless You All " Tom and Roe Elder

ac
Dorothy Buchwalters family would like to thank the church members for the many cards, consoling, uplifting words and prayers offered by so many. The outpouring of love is surely a legacy of honor for our dear mother.

ac
Our sincerest and warmest thanks for the Churches prayers, well-wishes and visits during these past few weeks while Josh has been recovering from surgery. He is slowly healing, but now on the road to recovery. Thank you all again so much! Sincerely The Ramey-Lieberman's Josh & Shelia

ac
I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU TO OUR CPC CHURCH FAMILY!! It meant so much to us that people brought meals, came to visit, prayed, and sent cards during my surgery in Hershey and my rehab at Shook. Since we don't have any immediate family in this area of the country our Church Family means more to us than I can put into words! Scott was spoiled with wonderful meals while I was at Shook and I got to taste some of them when I got home:) Thank you to Pastor Scott for coming up to Hershey to visit and pray with me while I was in the hospital. It has been a long recovery and this Thursday October 17th I get the cast off and see where I go from there. I've been home bound for 3 weeks I can go to church and to the Dr. So I also appreciate the phone calls and beautiful flowers given to me from the Deacons. I got a beautiful bouquet yesterday that is in my living room so I can see it all the time! Thank you All again In Christ's Love, Kari and Scott Wiley

Throughout these past months God has taken us on quite a journey of FAITH from the time we first realized that John had a bad aortic heart valve that we had hoped could be replaced under a new research procedure called TAVI until his death September 19. 2013. During this time our family has seen and experienced an amazing outpouring of Gods love which has overwhelmed us, sustained and supported us, but at the same time has humbled us. We want to say a big THANK YOU to Pastor Scott for his many visits, prayers, and concern for John and me at home, at Meritus Medical Center in Hagerstown, MD, at Harrisburg Hospital, and at Shook Home. The night before Johns death both Linda Igou and Brenda Black were a huge support for us by coming to Chambersburg Hospital ER and being with us there into the wee hours of the morning as we waited with John, not knowing what was going to happen next. Thank you both for your prayers and support that night and in the days that followed. Although we would have wished for John to be with us longer and prayed for the TAVI to become a cure for his problems, God knew best and took him on September 19 to be with HIM. I want to thank Pastor Scott, the choir, Mark King, organist, and Dani Kardisco, soloist and choir director for doing a superb job with the service witnessing to the Resurrection and celebrating the life of John Wingert . The supportive congregation was very much appreciated at the service. Carolyn Walters and the ladies in the kitchen did a fantastic job of preparing and serving the meal after the funeral service. THANK YOU to each one who helped in any way with the meal and/or brought desserts, too. My gratitude goes to the whole staff who has supported me through all this as well, and filled in for me when I needed to be with John. Thank you, too, Valerie Merriman for playing for the worship service the Sunday after Johns death. Another huge thank you goes to the entire congregation for the many prayers, cards, flowers, and outpouring of Gods LOVE. I will remember this forever. We all miss John very much but look forward to the time when we shall see him again. May God continue to bless others through His Servants at Central as He has blessed our family. Love, Helen Wingert and family

that I almost dont answer because I dont recognize the number - and its the woman from the Aldis parking lot. She called to tell me her biopsy was negative, there is no cancer, and she is grateful that I stopped and prayed with her. I share these to remind us all to be alert for these God-moments. So many people are hurting and desperate for a word or gesture of Gods love and God uses ordinary people like us to touch other people with his love and mercy. What a privilege!

JOY CHILDRENS VILLAGE

When it opened in 2011, Joy Childrens Home was an orphanage, housing 18 orphans under the care of three women trained to be their mothers. The children had been orphaned by AIDS, or rescued from neglect, abuse or abandonment. Two years and major renovations later, the word orphanage is no longer appropriate. It is now a village, made up of four families with 33 children, living separately in their own condominiums, buying their own groceries, cooking their own meals, keeping their own budgets. The children in these families live together as brothers and sisters, doing chores and homework together under the watchful eye of a loving mother. Additional condominiums have been built, and soon this village will consist of seven families, all brought together through the grace of a loving and merciful Father. We at Central Presbyterian Church are privileged to support to the Joy Childrens Village as part of the 145th Anniversary capital campaign.

Once again this year Central will be providing meals to the Cold Weather Drop In Shelter. We have committed to the first and third Friday's beginning in December. Meals, to include beverages must be delivered at 7:00 to the shelter. The shelter will provide all utensils and dishes. All you have to do is deliver the meal. You can stay and visit for a while if you like. There is a sign up sheet on the Mission bulletin board across from the office. The shelter is located at 195 Loudon Street. This is a wonderful opportunity to serve our community. We need 2 volunteer families per date. Partner with another family to divide the work. If you have any questions please call Bill McKelvie at 477-2132. The following is our schedule: December 6, 20 January 3, 17 February 7, 21 March 7, 21

Central will be ringing Bells again this year for the Salvation Army. We will be ringing at the Butcher Shoppe on Tuesday Dec 10 from 11 am to 7 pm. This is a great location to ring because you will be inside! There is a sign up sheet on the Mission bulletin board across from the office. We need 2 ringers per hour so please sign up for 1 or 2 hour shifts. If you have any questions please call Bill McKelvie at 477-2132. A little bit of time will go a long way for those less fortunate than we are.

CONGREGATIONAL MEETING
Sunday, November 17th 11:45AM, Sanctuary
The Session has called a Congregational Meeting on Sunday November 17, following the 10:45 worship service. This is the Annual Meeting (Part 1) and the purpose is to: (1) receive the report of the 2013 Nominating Committee, (2) elect new church officers, (3) elect the congregational at-large members of the 2014 Nominating Committee, and (4) approve the pastoral terms of call for 2014.

From the Finance Committee:

Central was blessed with a supplementary gift from the estate of Fred Aldinger, a long time member who died in 2006. Fred was a gifted pianist and all around nice guy. A few weeks ago we received a letter from attorney Joel Zullinger informing us that when Freds estate was settled in 2006 there was an undiscovered asset. He was the beneficiary of an annuity owned by his sister who had died in 1999. Somehow it just came to light recently and Central received a 25% share which amounted to $7,406.76. The Finance Committee placed those funds in the McAlister Fund which benefits the music program of Central in view of Freds personal great interest in music throughout his life. All of us need to realize what a blessing a final bequest is to our church. The next time you are reviewing your will with your attorney why not be sure that your church is included to receive a gift from your estate. If you have questions about where you can direct your gift talk to any member of the Finance Committee: Karl Shreiner, Gary Geiman, Tim Miller, David Secor, Carol Varner or Don Wissner.

SESSION ACTIONS OCTOBER 2013

Session took the following actions at its October meeting. If you have any questions, please talk to one of the Elders: Brenda Black, Bill Daniels, Tom Diehl, Jean Gisriel, Linda Igou, Pat McNamee, Ann Miller, Jim Sharp, Karl Shreiner, Luella Smith, Doug Vanderau, Don Weber, or Kathryn Finley, Clerk. Removed Al Poppen from Centrals membership at his request. Restored Donna Oberholzer to Centrals active membership roll. Approved Liz Martins request to use Central Church for the Childrens Aid Societys foster parent training classes. The classes will be held from November 7 to February 6. Approved the request to have Ron Snyder preach on Sunday November 10. Elected Tom Diehl to serve as Chair of the Mission Committee. He replaces Susan Keefer, who is stepping down.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY FRANKLIN COUNTY Habitat for Humanity in Franklin County (HFHFC) is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International and is a hands-on, ecumenical Christian housing ministry whose objective is to eliminate substandard housing in Franklin County by providing affordable homes to low income families. Selected families partner while their dwelling is being built by putting in hundreds of hours of their own labor. The Franklin County Habitat Chapter began in January 1993, and over the years has constructed or remodeled thirty homes for county residents. The HFHFC has set an ambitious goal of constructing two houses per year. Their new office is located at 1331 South 7th Street close to the Wayne Ave. Patriot Federal Credit Union. Central Presbyterian has supported Habitat projects consistently over the years and now hopes to reach a new goal of support during the next two years. A few years ago, we supported the cost of a new dwelling on Candlestick Court , not only financially, but also supplying labor by many church members to complete the house for the chosen family by occupancy before Christmas. We have also had interested church members supply volunteer work on the construction projects of three other Habitat homes the past several years in our Chambersburg community. Habitat has been part of our regular Mission Budget over the last 10 years, receiving a yearly donation from us to support their operating budget. Our Church has recently identified Habitat as a special support need in the newly launched 145th Anniversary Capital Campaign Fund to take place over the next two years. This special offering will help Habitat pay for sewer connections needed for four newly purchased lots located off Kline Road. This area will be the site for more new Habitat houses. As these projects develop over the upcoming years, volunteers are always invited to offer hands-on volunteer hours. Volunteers can offer help at any time by contacting director Mark Story at the Habitat Chambersburg office, phone number 267-1899.
