 us for worship on Christmas Eve as we celebrate the birth of Jesus at our 7:00 p.m. candlelight service. This will be a special time of Christmas carols, scripture, prayer, and music led by our Chancel Choir and Handbell Choir. For safety reasons, battery operated candles will replace the traditional flamed candles for the singing of “Silent Night.” The Worship Commission would like to decorate our holiday worship center again this year with poinsettias. However, different from prior years and because we realize not everyone can afford the "flower shop" prices, we are asking you to donate a poinsettia of your own purchase. Each flower will be tagged with your name and we will include a list in the bulletin with the names of your loved ones that you would like to remember or honor. Forms for your loved one's info will be available at the church and need to be returned to Debbie Connor by December 8th. Poinsettias should be brought to the church on December 21st by 10:00 a.m. Food and friendship--it doesn't get much better than that. The Green Tree dinner socials will be starting up in January for four months on the second Saturday of each month (January 11, February 8, March 8, and April 12, 2014). You can sign up to be a guest. You can sign up to be a host. You can sign up to be a guest and a host.
What’s the purpose of the dinner socials? It’s to enjoy a meal together and to get to know our church family better. Sign-up sheets are available in the lobby. Hope to see you around the table!
 Join Us for Singing in the Season on December 8th
Last year, the Witness Commission took “Singing in the Season” on the road. It was such a success, that we decided to do it again this year. On Sunday evening, December 8th, we will go to the homes of shut-ins and sing Christmas carols for them. Afterwards, we will return to the church and warm up with hot chocolate and Christmas cookies.
If you are aware of someone who would enjoy being serenaded, please let a member of the Witness Commission know, so that we can include them in our plans.
Participation in this and other holiday service projects will bring the joy of the season to you and to those who receive your gifts.
 Calling all kids! Come and join Green Tree’s youth for an evening of Christmas fun on Saturday, December 7th from 6:30 to 8:30 in the Multi-Purpose Room. This event is open to all children in grades 1st through 5th! We’ll enjoy Christmas games, crafts, music and snacks!
Parents, enjoy the opportunity to go Christmas shopping, or spend an evening out, without the kids! For more information, or to register your child for the event, please call Kim Hallman (484-302-12(one) (one)).
 The 2nd annual Christmas Tree sale is coming to Green Tree Church this November. The sale will run from Saturday, November 30th through Saturday, December 21st. The Boy Scouts will be selling a nice selection of locally (PA Tree Farmer) grown Douglas Fir and Frazier Firs ranging from 5-10 feet in height. The trees will be sold in the parking lot facing Egypt Road, in front of the church garage. The tree lot hours will be Monday through Friday 5:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m., Saturday 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m., and Sunday 12:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. We look forward to serving the church community.
Merry Christmas from Boy Scout Troop 313!
Continuing the Work of Jesus.
Peacefully. Simply. Together.
Welcome to the website of the Green Tree Church of the Brethren. Please accept my invitation to explore this website and learn more about our congregation and the Church of the Brethren.
When people express interest in who we are, it is common for us to respond with the following phrase: “Continuing the Work of Jesus. Peacefully. Simply. Together.” This phrase encapsulates our attempt to follow Jesus in an effort to further his kingdom here on this earth. In essence we are a group of people who endeavor to continue the work Jesus started over 2000 years ago.
As you surf through the links provided on this site, hopefully you will discover ways in which we continue Jesus’ work in the world today. I invite you to join us in this endeavor and to walk with us as we grow in the faith together. Please come worship with us soon and learn more about the activities and events that we offer.
