UPCOMING EVENTS AT PENNSBURG UCC
SUMMER CHALLENGE:
Hair for Care 2025
The pastors of the Reformed Churches in the Upper Perk Valley are putting out a friendly challenge to raise money to fight hunger. All money raised through this Summer Challenge will support the free Community Thanksgiving Dinner and Rise Against Hunger meal-packing event. The pastors are calling this challenge Hair for Care 2025.
Pastor Steve is challenging Pennsburg UCC to raise $500 for Hair for Care by Sunday, August 24th. If we hit that goal, he will dye his hair one of the church’s liturgical colors – red, green, blue or purple. On the 24th everyone in worship will vote to determine what color he will dye his hair. St. John’s is also participating in the summer challenge; if both churches hit their goals half of his hair will be dyed PUCC’s color, the other half St. John’s color. The big reveal of all the pastors’ hair colors will be on Sunday, August 31st at our 9 AM Community Labor Day Weekend Worship Service at New Gosh UCC.
Let’s give hunger a boot, and give Pastor Steve a colorful new ‘do!

American Red Cross Blood Drive
Pennsburg UCC is hosting a Red Cross blood drive on Monday, August 25th from 2 to 7 pm.
This time of year, schedules can get hectic trying to fit in adventures and activities as the season comes to an end. When you take the time to give blood, platelets, or AB Elite plasma, your donation can help give patients in need the opportunity to enjoy more sunny days and create more memories! As a thank you, when you come to give on August 25th, you’ll get a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of choice.* As an added bonus, in August, the Red Cross will perform free A1C testing for diabetes on successful donations.
There are plenty of time-slots available, but hurry, they will fill up fast! Scheduling a donation is easy. If you want to donate, you can visit the Red Cross website at redcrossblood.org and enter our sponsor code “Pennsburg UCC” in the ‘Find a Blood Drive’ search box, then select your preferred time and donation type (regular donation or Power Red). Please consider donating…you can help save lives and empower your health!
