Money Management for Children
Two identical workshops for children ages 5 to 9 in Neighborhood E-3 in the Kirk Center:
Wednesday, July 28 from 10 to 11:15 a.m. and 6:30 to 7:45 p.m.
The Whole Life Stewardship Committee offers a fun workshop that introduces the concepts of setting goals and savings that parents can then reinforce at home.
Children will hear a classic children’s story about the joy of giving. Each participant receives a four-chambered piggy bank with slots for spending, saving, investing and donating money.
With fun activities, children get the message that a person has a greater sense of freedom and peace of mind once making a decision about how to manage his or her financial life.
COST: Required pre-payment of $5 per child. Space is limited to 20 children per workshop.
Major support for the cost of the piggy banks has been provided by a grant from the Helen Harvey Jones Fund of the Presbyterian Fund.
Sign-up deadline is July 25, 2010. To register, download and print the registration form. For more information about the class, email

The Giving Tree
During Advent, a tree is put up in Fellowship Hall and decorated with the names (and a gift wish) of people reccommended to us from one of our local agancies—people who are not likely to receive any gifts for Christmas. Church members choose an ornament, pray for the recipient and purchase and wrap a gift for them. The wrapped gifts are brought to the tree in Fellowship Hall on a designated Sunday to be picked up by the agencies and distributed to the recipients.
Gifts for Baby Jesus
Children bring baby care items and toys for poor babies such as Jesus, and present them at the 4 p.m. Christmas Eve service. These items are shared with babies in the Lehigh Valley through various agencies.
The Great Hour of Sharing
