Body & Soul Women’s Exercise Group
Women interested in stretching exercises and a light cardio workout should consider being a part of the Body and Soul group which meets every Monday and Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 10 a.m. in the Celebration Center gym. Sessions start with a short devotional, sharing joys and concerns, and prayer. Group led exercises are followed by walking around the perimeter of the gym. Participants can bring stretch bands and weights of their own, or use bands and weights provided (1, 2 or 3 lb. sizes).
Women in the group range from age 60 to 80+ and everyone exercises at their own comfort level. For more information, contact Linda Holsinger, 570-546-6840.
Mission Stitchers
Mission Stitcher’s meets monthly to sew items to donate to
area and international needs. What began as an opportunity to make simple
dresses to donate to Rwanda expanded to include making re-usable sanitary items
for girls in countries where these items are not available to them and without
necessary protection, cannot attend school. These simple items are
life-changing to avoid missing school and opportunities for advancement in
their lives.

The group contributes lap quilts and fidget pads to area
nursing homes, made hundreds of masks when Covid required them and none were
available, as well as scrub caps for area hospital staff to minimize mask
elastic from getting caught in their hair.
The group also provides sewn, knitted or crocheted caps for
area cancer patients and have created many craft items to sell with all
proceeds have been distributed to area needs. We have people who can teach
anyone interested in learning how to knit or crochet.
We welcome anyone interested in joining us, learning how to
make simple repairs, hem a pair of pants or learning how to quilt. Sewing
machines are available if needed.
Faithful Hands
The Faithful Hands interest group reaches out to assist our church family and community. Meeting the third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m., we begin with a time studying the book of James, instructing us to be not only hearers of the word, but doers (James 1:25b “…doers who act — they will be blessed in their doing.”) The remainder of the meeting is spent planning projects. Contact person: Karen Barraco (kbarraco@windstream.net).
