Episcopal Parishes Set “Food Bank Sunday” On Sunday, July 13, three Episcopal Churches in Susquehanna County will be gathering in food for the county’s food bank. St. Paul’s, Montrose; St. Mark’s, New Milford; and, Christ Church, Susquehanna have distributed grocery bags to parishioners with a list of needed items for the food banks in the county. “All the parishioners of Christ Church, Susquehanna have taken grocery bags to begin filling them for Food Bank Sunday,” said Jeanette Saulo, parish coordinator. “They will take advantage of weekly sales at local markets, and fill the bags to the brim, using the Food Bank Wish List as a guide. We know we are responding to Our Lord’s command to feed His flock.” “We are coping with two major issues this summer,” reports Lynn Senick of the Trehab Food Bank. “We have all the children out of school, who otherwise get their nutrition during the school day; and, we have a significant increase in the cost of food in the area markets. This presents serious problems for families and individuals on fixed and limited incomes.” The three Episcopal parishes have joined together to make a significant donation of food and other items, such as diapers, to the food bank this summer. The parishes are also looking ahead to the cold weather and will be collecting blankets. “Blankets, afghans, and comforters are very important during the cold winter months,” stated Brenda Loubet, Directory of Interfaith in Montrose. “We present every client with a blanket during the winter. With the cost of heating, many of our clients, especially the elderly, save by lowering their thermostat. The blankets, sweaters, and afghans are a blessing.” The Episcopal parishes will have simultaneous in gatherings on Sunday, July 13.
Arts & Crafts Festival To Benefit Library Area artists and crafters will be gathering in Montrose to display their talents and selling their creations, as St. Paul’s supports the Blueberry Festival with their Christmas in August Arts and Crafts Festival. The event, which will coincide with the Blueberry Festival, will take place on August 1 and 2, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in St. Paul’s Parish House, at the corner of Church and Chestnut Streets in Montrose. “Some space is still available,” reports Nancy Finlon, coordinator of the event. “The event is open to artists, potters, and crafters from Northeastern Pennsylvania.” Finlon explained that a rental fee will be charged for a 10’x6’ space, with all fees collected donated to the Susquehanna County Historical Society and Free Library. A 30” x 8’ table will be provided if requested. Participants must limit their displays to their designated space and insure that any display boards or tables do not extend beyond this space. Multiple spaces may be rented, contingent upon availability. “All products sold must be the creation of the participating artist or crafter,” said Finlon, “ although they may have a designee sell on their behalf. This event is intended to feature the many talents of artists and crafters throughout Northeastern PA, so manufactured or items purchased for resale are not eligible for this event.” Applications can be obtained by contacting the church office at 278-2825.
Free Summer Reading At County Libraries The Susquehanna County Library is once again holding a special summer reading program at all four locations, and at the Pratt Memorial Library in New Milford. "Catch the Reading Bug @ Your Library" (ages 0-12) and "Metamorphosis" (teens) is sponsored in part by the United Way of Susquehanna County. The program is underway, with special events and story times each week. Each registered participant will receive a free book. Summer reading helps children develop their reading skills, find books they enjoy, and participate in exciting special programs every week. Special activities are also planned for teens; check for details at each library. As usual, the highlight of summer reading is a special event – this year it's a bug hunt at Salt Springs Park, with free admission for registered summer readers. Register now at your local library to enjoy this six-week program. There's no charge. From board books to young adult novels, there's something for all youngsters at the library.
