Welcome to Camp Hill United Methodist Church (CHUM), where our mission is
to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We strive
to be rooted in God through faith in Christ as we worship the Lord together
and individually; to relate to other believers for fellowship, accountability, and
spiritual growth through small groups; and to reach out beyond our church
and ourselves to meet the needs of others, inviting them to follow Christ with
us. Whether you are a visitor or a regular attender, we celebrate your presence with us today.

THE PASTOR'S PARAGRAPH TO THE CHUM FAMILY
As I write this I am preparing for a weekend away (January 16-18) at my annual
Christian men’s retreat which I helped launch back in 1970. This year is the 45 th year
of this retreat, and a number of men from CHUM are joining me—along with about 35
men altogether—at John and Donna Szwast’s camp named Ingelby. I always look
forward to this weekend. For 45 years I have been joining together on this winter
weekend with Christians friends whom I’ve known since high school. Every year, too,
many new men also join us for this time of Christian growth, fellowship and fun. It’s
always one of the highlights of my year. Over the years the retreat has grown into a
Christian Father and Son Retreat, so my two sons will also be joining me
there. They, too, look forward to “The Retreat” each year, and always make the effort to attend--even when one of them lived outside the US. The other weekend to
which I look forward each year is CHUM’s Men Retreat at Mount Asbury, which is
coming up on March 20-22. This is an excellent time for men to get away together
and be challenged to grow in our walks with Christ. I hope that you’re already making plans to join Pastors Jake, Jack, and me at the CHUM’s Men’s Retreat. Registration information is in your bulletin and you can sign-up out at the Men’s Table in the
Gathering Space. ---Pastor Tom
CHUM’s Weekly Prayer List is on tables at the back of the worship spaces and at
the Welcome Center or go to www.camphillumc.org and follow the Prayer List link.
Is there someone whose face you’ve missed in worship recently? - If so,
please let the church office (737-5631) know. It’s also a good idea for you to reach
out and let them know that you’ve missed them.

Panguma Scholarship Update -The last six months have been devastating for Sierra Leone. Prior to the viral outbreak, the efforts of
many organizations, including the UMC Susquehanna Conference, were
finally beginning to make a difference. Our non-profit partner for
school scholarships, Operation Classroom, had some very difficult decisions to make
regarding the funds we had raised for the current school year. Details for this scenario can be viewed on the church website, using the Team Panguma icon, or by
logging in to http://teampanguma.org/about/team-2014-2/ . The good news is the
schools are now scheduled to re-open on March 1! The importance of your financial
support of the scholarship program cannot be overstated...thank you! Please join us
as we pray for the people and the crisis situation in Sierra Leone.
Family Promise—CHUM’s next opportunity to serve will be February 15-22. Signups can be done on line at the CHUM website (www.camphillumc.org). Call Chris
and Laura Durant (717-525-8501) for more information. Again, thank you. We look
forward to serving with everyone in 2015.
Occasional DRIVERS Needed for doctor's appointments, etc. We would like to
compile a resource list of folks who can help. Please contact Pastor Sharon
at [email protected] or 691-8241 indicating your availability. Thank you!
Bethesda Mobile Mission—Our next service opportunity for Bethesda Mobile Mission is Friday February 20. Our focus collection continues to be Men's and Ladies
socks and underwear. Men's : Medium, Large and Extra Large (both briefs and TShirts) and Ladies sizes 6 or 8. White Athletic socks are always best. All items can
be placed in the Bethesda Mission collection box located near the Missions Table. While there check out all of the service opportunities for Bethesda Mission and

Ramen Noodles each month to 740 families (about 2,800 people) who need emergency food. CHUM’s support to the Ecumenical Food Pantry the past 40 years has
always been outstanding. Donation of any nonperishable food item is always welcome even if it is not the focus item. Thank you. Ernie & Martha Speck, 766-4922.
