Feast of Charity tomorrow:Rev. David Millar will be giving the Feast of Charity talk, beginning at about 7:45p.m. (Supper is at 6:30 p.m.) The topic is Genesis 12: Exploring theLord's Infancy in the Light of the Activity of the Word in Us. Rev.Millar’sdescription is: “We will explore the application of what is said in the Arcana concerningthe Lord’s early mental development to the activity of the Word working to regeneratethe human mind. Working from first principles and through the removal of ideas of timeand space, person and place we will see how what is said of the Lord as an infantillustrates the ongoing parallel processes involved in the growth and development ofthe Word in its infancy in us.”

Rev. Millar and his wife Mandy are visiting from Adelaide, South Australia. He is theDirector of Spiritual Training in the AustralianNewChurchCollege. Prior to thatposition, he was the pastor of the Adelaide society of the NewChurch.

As to the naturalfood for the evening, the menu is mixed grill (chicken, fresh sausage, and shrimp), warm potato salad, green bean and tomato salad, and peaches and ice cream.

On Sunday, the pastor will lead the opening of the service and give the children’s talk, and then Rev. Millar will give the adult sermon. His topic will be “Binding the Strong Man” (Mark 3:27), that is, the proprium, by truths from the Lord’s Word.

Poetry! On Monday, September 15, Grades 7 and 8 will be reciting Paul Revere’s Ride by Longfellow after morning chapel. Coming to chapel first, which begins at 8:03 a.m., will ensure that you don’t miss the performance. Parents and friends are most welcome. (It’s a six minute performance)

Occasionally, reminders and notifications will be given on that page too. We can include photos of your child only if you sign the form.Thank you, and please join our facebook group!

Volunteer Newsletter Editor - Here's an opportunity to do something significant for the general Kempton community. The KemptonCommunity Center has begun a process of re-inventing itself as a true community asset. One of its critical needs is the ability to communicate publicly in an effective manner. A thoughtfully crafted newsletter is the most efficient and effective way to accomplish this. The organization seeks someone to take on this task as a volunteer. It's not hugely time-consuming since the newsletter would be published (in print and electronically) only twice yearly. If you have any interest at all in this, please contact Tom Kerr at756-4376 or to discuss. Thanks.

Opportunity to help: My mother-in-law, Kaye Long, is headed to Hershey for a stem cell transplant to fight lymphoma. If I could get a list of people willing to make meals for her and her husband Jonnie, I would be able to contact everyone once she returns home in about three weeks. If you would be willing to help, or have any questions, please contact me at or 484-764-6916. I will probably sign them up on takethemameal.com, but it would also be good to know who I could contact for meals (a freezer meal would also work). Thank you very much! – Katrina Long

P.S. If you would like to send her a word of encouragement, her address is Kaye Long, 9329 Red Rd., Kempton, PA 19529. You can follow her journey at caringbridge.org.visit/kayelong.
