The Chip Program is the most comprehensive service of its kind and is being sponsored by the Masonic Grand Lodge of PA, the Freedom Lodge of Thompson and the Canawacta Lodge of Susquehanna. Chip provides parents and guardians with the means to quickly get vital information to emergency responders. The digital video included on a mini CD is compatible with the Amber Alert System. All the child’s ID information, the digital video mini CD and fingerprints are given to the parents. Only the permission slip is kept by the program provider. Your child can participate only with a completed permission slip. The digital video records the child’s height, appearance, speech, mannerisms and other important characteristics by asking the child questions. The children’s fingerprints are taken using an inkless pad. Parents are given a DNA kit to be completed at home as soon as possible. The DNA kit includes plastic Ziploc envelopes for a hair sample, nail clippings, and oral swabs for saliva samples. At Open House, September 16, 195 permission slips were signed for the October Program. Permission slips will be sent home with the remaining students to give them the chance to sign up. A child can only participate with a completed permission slip. The program will be done during normal school hours. Call Chuck Welch at Hobbs’ Country Market at 727–2090 with any questions or visit: www.pagrandlodge.org and click on PA Chip.
Circuit Preacher Comes To Brooklyn A leading proponent of universalism and author of the book, “Destined for Salvation: God’s Promise to Save Everyone,” The Rev. Kalen Fristad, will speak at the Sunday morning service at the First Universalist Church, Brooklyn, on October 23 at 10 a.m. A United Methodist minister, Rev. Fristad served churches in Iowa for 27 years before founding “Destined for Salvation Ministries” in 2003 and taking his message of God’s unconditional love and unlimited salvation on a speaking tour across the country, accompanied by his wife, Darlene. Kalen has been touring the United States, speaking to a wide diversity of congregations from mainline denominations to small groups. “We have met many wonderful, loving, faithful, and dedicated people. We have found people to be very open to spiritual understanding and growth, to affirm the importance of salvation for all, and to live with love, respect, forgiveness, and affirmation of each other,” says Rev. Fristad. In his commitment to continue his national ministry he plans to be a beacon to the words of John Murray, Father of Universalism in America: “You may possess only a small light, go out into the highways and byways of life. Bring more light and understanding to the hearts and minds of men and women. Give them not hell, but hope and courage.” The public is invited to hear the Fristad’s message and have a chance to chat.
