Each month during 2018, two of our youth will be highlighted in the bulletin. By the end of the
year, you will have the opportunity to get to know each one of them a bit better.
My name is John Haskins and I am 13 years old. My grandfather is Pastor Green and my grandmother is Cindy Green. My parents are Erica Ickes and Ryan Haskins. My stepdad is Chris Ickes. I have two little sisters – Cassidy and Emma.
I am in 7th grade at St. Catherin Laboure School.
My hobbies include swimming, soccer, playing tenor saxophone and piano. I am on the EPAC swim team. My favorite events are the freestyle and butterfly.
A fun fact about me is that I went to Australia with my grandparents.
My name is Peter McLain Apeti and I am an 8th grader at Swatara Mid-
dle School and the son of Sue McLain. I have a sister named Mimi and 16 pets.
I like reading, video games, sports and swimming. My left hand was burned when I was a baby and I still have a scar.
I am very energetic and run around a lot. A weird hobby I have is climb-ing trees. I’m tall and use that to my advantage.
I’m also in the chime and choir groups at church.
PRAYER SQUARE
As Christians we are called to pray for everyone in a difficult time of life. To protect the privacy of those for whom we are praying we ask that permission be received before a name is placed for prayer request. We will keep the names in the Prayer Square for two weeks. If you would like them to be included longer, please call the church office or submit another prayer request.
Please keep the following members of Paxton in your prayers: Jean Herrold, Jo Cain, Bruce Cavanaugh, Winnie Lenker, Dottie Dzink, Kathie Zimmerman, Bert Wood, Kacey Bowers, Nancy Wion, Paul Remaly, Susan DeRemer, Fern Nickum, Christopher Bruce Family & Vera, Kitty Janes, Jean Roberts, Marti Greiner, Morris Rill, Gwen Casey, Louis Robertson, Donna Leaver, Yvonne Rosenberger, Becca Hane

May 13 Sue and Dave Shuey, Nate Shuey, Adam Gartner, Fred Gartner, Amy Sciotti, Frank Rusak , Delores Wells, Cassandra Martinez, Bernice Williams, Evie King, Adeline Richter, Matthew Richter, Dennis Myers, Rick Bazdar
Each week we will be praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ within our Presbytery. This week we are praying for the Faith Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Harrisburg.
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Thank you to everyone who supported our Pie Sale Fundraiser! We sold 100 pies, this fundraiser is not a huge money maker but I feel that so many people really love these pies. Maybe you will think about our young people at Paxton as you’re having your pie. We are so blessed!
Next Sunday, May 20 we will recognize our teachers and grads. If you are a recent graduate please send your information to the church office this week.
Teachers, please attend church next Sunday as we recognize you for the dedication and knowledge you share with our young people.
There’s still time to sign-up for Krislund Traveling Day Camp, forms are in the Gather-ing Room on an easel.
PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 29. Presbyterian Women will be sponsoring a fundraiser at the Friendly's Restaurant at the Target Shopping Plaza. The fundraiser runs from 5PM to 8PM (Please note the time change) and PW will receive 10% of the total sales that night, so we need lots of people to come out and support us. Tell your family and friends.
We hope to see you that night.
We also need a few people to be greeters that night. If you are willing to give us an hour of your time, please see Jeanne (564-2036) or Carol M. (566-2786).
