Penn Yan Area CROP Walk
There will be a Recruiter meeting on Tuesday, March 15, from 7-9 pm at Bluff Point UMC. Sarah Stackhouse will present information about the CROP Walk and the projects it helps to fund worldwide to fight hunger and poverty and then to hand out materials and resources for the walk recruiters.
Last year, despite the bad economy, our community donated the largest amount ever to the CROP Walk, $15,039.75. Twenty-five percent of this amount was returned to our local area to fight hunger here at home in Yates Co.
The Walk will be held on Sunday, May 1. If you can be a recruiter for First Baptist contact Sarah Stackhouse at 536-9482 or sarahg14478@yahoo.com

Welcome to First Baptist Church of Penn Yan. We are glad you joined us and hope you’ll feel at home, as we celebrate our faith and praise God together. In the pew in front of you, you will find a “get-to-know-you” card. Please take a moment to fill it out and place it in the offering plate. For your convenience hearing devices are available. Please speak with an usher for assistance.
We invite you to bring your children to the nursery during the service for a safe and Christian environment so that you may more fully experience Worship. Following today’s service please come to enjoy coffee, refreshments and fellowship in the Great Room.
