We will be listing events, classes, or field trips when they are arranged. For more information contact Margaret Sowers, 717-272-9703, or email JustFACS@comcast.net, or through the church office. Mission of this group is two-fold:
Provide social opportunities.

Activities include: 3-4 seasonal group events: * Spring - luncheon or dinner honoring church family members 80 years old and older. *Summer - possibly local experience of play, concert, museum, lectures, community programs. Always open to your interests and ideas. * Fall - themed picnic. * Fall/winter - holiday event.

On-going activities:
Calling All Cards.... We have instituted a Card Ministry as an instrument to extend friendship and caring on behalf of XYZ Fellowship. Perhaps you have some greeting cards such as birthday, get well, sympathy, thinking of you, that you'd like to donate. Sometimes drawers and boxes overflow with cards that are forgotten.
Harriet Doll would love to give your donations a new home when recognizing other's life's journeys. There are marked baskets on the bench outside the sanctuary and another on the table near the first floor elevator where you can place you unused cards and envelopes.
