These bulletin announcements are for your information about resources, items of interest, prayer and praise requests and information. Use your discretion and print only what will be valuable to your congregation. This information will be sent to you only once. Use your judgment as to how often you run the same information in your bulletin. At least twice prior to an event is recommended. Perhaps you could use a calendar of future events in your bulletin and list it in a shortened form after the initial announcement has been made.

June 4-9 is an intensive volunteer work week at the historic 1770 Germantown Meetinghouse in Philadelphia.

We will have work shifts each day between 9am - 4pm, and again from 5 - 9pm, if volunteers are available. We are also flexible to extend these hours earlier or later if individuals or groups prefer. Please contact Liz Einsig Wise to let us know if you can help - we need you! 267 240-7966, gmht@meetinghouse.info
