West Virginia Member Treva Kerns 601 Foxcroft Ave, Apt #1 Martinsburg, WV 25401

From the Finance Committee Through the middle of May, our contributions to the Annual Operating Fund are over $20,000 below budget. We would appreciate you reviewing your giving vs your pledged amount for 2015 to insure it is correct. This becomes critical as we enter the summer months when giving traditionally drops, but we continue to have ex-penses. We are now providing new giving options such as using your credit or debit card on the Central on the Square website (www.centralonthesquare.org), or by signing up for the automatic contribution from your checking or savings account. If you would like additional information on either of these options, please contact Missy Igou, Finance Administrator at Central. You can reach her at 717-264-4113, extension 109.

SUNDAY, JUNE 21ST

JOY VILLAGE

Seven children from the Loyengalani area of Kenya just began a long journey to their new home, the Joy Childrens Village. These children have endured major hardships in this remote and desolate area of Kenya. Over the past several months the legal aspects of their transfer have been completed. Pray for safe travel through this dangerous re-gion. Lift their names up to the Lord: brothers Loipitu and Samuel, twins Naomi and Papaya, and also Aschew, Lobay and Safi. Thank you all.

Linda Peppernick, and our own organist, Helen Wingert. Everyone is welcome.

REMINDER: On September 27, 2015 at 3:00 P.M. John Walker, national AGO President will play a dedicatory recital celebrating the recent additions to the organ in

memory of John Wingert, the 75th anniversary of the original installation of our Casavant Organ, and 60 years since the recitalist took his first organ lesson in

Plan now to come and bring your friends. If you have any questions on either of these events,
