Update on Glory to God Hymnals
Thank you to those who participated in fundraising to purchase Glory to God hymnals for worship at Pine Street. We had a wonderful response to the campaign! 217 hymnals were ordered, and bookplates are being placed on the front covers of those to which there were dedications.
Unfortunately, as with most things, the cost of the hymnal increased in January, impacting the total number of hymnals purchased. At this point, we have enough hymnals to fill the pews in the nave sparsely. We need additional hymnals to complete the nave and the chapel and balcony. Therefore, we will continue the hymnal campaign for a few more weeks for those who are able to contribute. Hymnal order forms will be available in the Gathering Place.
We are also excited to announce that we will begin to use the Glory to God hymnals on Sunday, June 4, when they will be dedicated during the Worship Service.
If you have questions, you can contact the church office.
Thank you.

Current COVID Procedure
Pine Street Presbyterian Church will follow CDC guidelines to ease masking requirements and allow in-person gatherings, including food. While Dauphin and Cumberland Counties are in the low or medium community levels (according to the CDC’s “COVID-19 by County” page found at:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-by-county.html). Masks will be optional for all Pine Street events, including worship. Session and staff will monitor the community levels and change health and safety guidelines if the local counties are high. Worshipers are welcome to wear masks if that helps them feel comfortable in worship.
