Church Family
Thank you....
Dear Central Church Family,
It is with a heavy heart and also
a heart filled with gratitude that
I write this note. On May 9th,
heaven got even better due to
the passing of my dear mother,
Beverly Minnich. While her loss
is greatly felt, we know she's
Bev Minnich
rejoicing among the angels with
her Lord and Savior, her husband, her parents, and
other departed family and friends. Many thanks to
all of you who added joy to her life, who prayed for
her, and touched her in many ways. Thank you to
Pastor Scott for your visits, which she enjoyed immensely, to all who kindly sent cards showing her
how much she was cared for, to those of you who
would give her a big hug or a smile and a hello, I
say thank you.
Thanks again to Pastor Scott for the wonderful celebratory funeral service given for her. Thanks to all
who participated musically. Another thanks goes to
Brenda Geiman and the group of women who
worked hard to make it such a delicious reception
after the service. those of you who made a contribution in my mother's name to Central, we thank you
so very, very much. Her church and church family
meant the world to her. She would be so pleased
with your contribution. It warmed our hearts. God
bless you.
With gratitude,
Brenda and Bill Black and family

CHAMBERSFEST
On July 30, 1864, Chambersburg became the only northern town to be burned by Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Chambersburg bounced back quickly and has celebrated the spirit of the
townspeople and the rebirth of the town every July since 1986. Numerous events are held during a 16day period for a complete listing visit chambersburg.org/pages/ChambersFest/
On Saturday July 18 the downtown will be hosting Celebrate! The Arts at Old Market Day. This is a
daylong street festival featuring food and craft vendors, as well as entertainment. As part of this celebration, we will again have the church open for cool air and bathroom breaks. We are looking for volunteers
to serve as greeters in the LWW lobby. We will need approximately 2 people for each shift: 9:00-11:00
AM, 11:00 AM-1:00 PM, 1:00-3:00 PM, and 3:00-4:00 PM. In addition, there will be an organ recital at
11:00 AM in our sanctuary. We need a few additional volunteers to great people at the Memorial Square
entrance and in the sanctuary.
In the evening, the downtown will commemorate the 1864 Burning of Chambersburg. Using lights and
character actors, people will experience an interactive re-enactment of the ransom demand and the town
burning. Something new this year is the A Cappella & Unplugged Singing Championship at 6:00 PM on
the courthouse steps. More people attend this event every year, many traveling from other states to
watch and participate. Therefore, we want to keep our building open through the evening and are looking
for 2 people for each of the following shifts: 6:00 8:00 PM and 8:00 10:15 PM.
If you are interested in greeting, please add your name to the sign up sheet posted in the Lincoln Way
lobby. If your preferred time slot is filled, please consider volunteering at another time. This is a wonderful
opportunity to share in the fun downtown and extend our Central hospitality.

Newly commissioned Stephen Ministers are from left: Dale Hastings, Roni Gingrich, Bonnie Fortuna, Virginia Vallillo, Mary Showalter, Sandy James, Helen
Wingert, and Elton Simpson. Joining them in the photo are Stephen Ministers:
Bill and Jenny Daniels, Sandy Wilson, Jenine Grove, Ron Igou, with Leaders Trena

Missing from photo are Brenda Black, Jean Diehl, Alta Holden, Dani Kardisco,
Chris McClanahan, Erin Regan, Nancy Weisel, and Leaders Cindy Shoemaker and
Jo Ann Dittmann.
Stephen Ministry to me is Gods Holy Spirit working through a listening, caring Christian person (Stephen Minister) to help someone who is going through a
(hopefully temporary) difficult time in his/her life to be able to know Gods HOPE
and JOY again.
Helen Wingert,
newly trained Stephen Minister
Central is very blessed to have a new group of Stephen Ministers available to
care for others in many ways through one-on-one relationships. All have accepted
Gods call to this lay ministry and completed a 50-hour training series to enable
them to be even more effective in their Christian caregiving. We were extremely
happy to join with First United Methodist church, and have Stephen Leader Gail
Vaughn assist in the training.
