Upcoming Dates

Sunday Service:  

Worship on Sunday at  10:00 am. in the sanctuary.  All are welcome.  Come and join us.

Children’s Church School: 

We will hold a Children’s Church School Class in Fellowship Hall.  This class will be for children of all ages (yep-that means you, children of God-ALL ages!)!  We will focus on The Big Ones-the Bible stories we’ve heard before-or maybe we haven’t!  We’ll experience the stories in new ways, learn songs, do a craft, have fun in the process.  Feel free to bring your children or grandchildren if you need to use them as a cover so it doesn’t look like YOU’RE the one who wants to come!  This class will be led by Amy Wade and a few special assistants. 

Lift Fund Raising Committee:

A lift fundraising group has been formed and will begin sharing their plans and ideas on September 21. Hopefully you will be just as excited as they are about this project. The goal is not to put an unnecessary burden on your pocketbook but to provide some things that are fun, useful and inclusive as we help to offset the funds spent on the lift that is being installed to help us navigate between floors. Stay tuned.

Carry Out For A Cause:

Place your order on November 2nd for your pick–up on November 3rd  from Applebees in Thorndale.  Order on line at Applebees.com and use the code DOINGOOD at checkout.  Applebees will donate 20% of your check (excluding tip and taxes) to Doe Run Presbyterian Church.

“All God’s Children Got A Place in the Choir:”  

Doe Run’s Chancel Choir meets for practice every Wednesday at 7:00 pm in the sanctuary from now until late May.  The choir provides weekly anthems for our regular services as well as special music for Christmas, Easter, and other special events.  We welcome new members!  If yoiu love to sing and would like to join this talented and committed group of singers, feel free to contact Kris McGuckin for additional information.

Produce Sharing Table:

Has your garden produced more than you and your family can consume? Or perhaps you didn’t get a garden planted this year but would love some fresh tomatoes, cucumbers or zucchini? We have placed a Produce Sharing Table in the rear of the sanctuary. This is the perfect spot to bring your excess produce, or to pick up a few items that you don’t have access to from your own garden. The only thing better than your own, home-grown, fresh produce is sharing your bounty with others!

Women’s Bible Study:

Women’s Bible Study will resume on Friday, September 19th at 9:30 am in the Fellowship Hall. We are studying the book Desire of the Everlasting Hills by Thomas Cahill. All women welcome!

Book Club: 

Do you love to read? How about talking about the books that you’ve read? Have we got the group for you! Those that haven’t read and just want to hear others’ opinions on the book are also welcome. Plan to join the Doe Run Book Club, which meets the third Thursday of each month (next meeting this Thursday, October 16th) at 7:00 pm here at the church. Please contact organizer Deb Leonhard if you have questions.

Homecoming:

Sunday October 26, 2025.  Celebrate Doe Run’s past, present, and future at the 10:00 a.m. service

Wired Word:  

The Wired Word meets on Tuesday, September 30th at 6:30 in the Ramsey room. 

In the year 2000, about 60% of Americans over the age of 65 attended church weekly, according to Gallup. By 2020, that figure had dropped to 45%. These losses are having a profound effect on the life of the church and the welfare of senior citizens, which is why this installment of The Wired Word will focus on the disappearance of older adults from congregational life and what churches can do about it.

Hope to see you there.

Adult Sunday School: 

Adult Sunday School will return from vacation on September 28, 2025.  The Present Word Series will continue this fall.  The fall quarter lessons titled the Worship in the Covenant Community.  The lessons are divided into three units: Leaders Set Worship Example, Songs of the Old Testament, and Psalms of Thanksgiving and Praise. All are welcome!We will meet in the Ramsey Room.  Please join us then.

Volunteers Needed:

The Fellowship Committee is looking for volunteers to assist with Sunday morning coffee hour. We all enjoy the fruit of the teams’ labors, but would like to add a few more people to the teams! If you would be interested in helping out by providing goodies with a team once every 7 weeks, please contact Lathea Moskel. Many hands make light work!

Boy Scouts:

Boy Scout Troop 48 meets every Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.  Did you know that you can recycle your scrap metal and support our local Boy Scout troop at the same time? Visit “Scouting for Scrap Metal—Boy Scout Troop 48” on Facebook, or speak with Jake Hewson, to discuss ways that your junk can help fund Scout projects. This is especially relevant to us as one of the troop members is working on his Eagle Scout project right here at Doe Run—building steps and a handrail to make our fire pit area more accessible. 

Splinter’s Group Gathering:

On the first Friday of each month the Splinters Women’s Fellowship will gather in Fellowship Hall at 11:15.  There will be devotionals and a brief business meeting.  Bring a sandwich cut into four pieces to share with others.   Come join us for the fun and fellowship.
