10 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, August 9, 1989 COMMUNITY Good fellowship and good works By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer the Noxen United Methodist Church was well attended Sat- urday afternoon and evening as residents of Noxen and sur- rounding area as far as Dallas and Shavertown came to par- take of the homemade ice cream and share some time together. “We hold the ice cream social every year,” explained Joseph Saporito. “We use the profits to | do special projects such as send | cards to persons in the hospital or to take items to pecple in The annual ice cream social of nursing homes at Christmas. We also use some of it to help people in need. We have the ice cream social and a pancake breakfast to raise the funds we need.” The Helping Hands organiza- tion of the church, the sponsor of the social, offered a variety of seven or eight flavors, all home- made, as well as a low cholestrol vanilla ice cream made with skim milk. Wimpies, hot dogs, chili dogs, hamburgs, fresh corn on the cob, cold drinks and coffee were on the menu and proved popular with those coming to the social. Those who attended said the | Ice cream social benefits those in need sandwiches and cold drinks com- bined with the ice cream were just the thing’ for such a hot, humid day. In order to keep the ice cream from melting, the social was held in the cool social room of the church on the ground floor but many of the visitors sat out under the huge trees behind the church to enjoy the cool breeze gently moving among the branches. Members of the church's youth group were also at the social selling handpainted items to customers. The profits from these go into the youth group's treasury to do things for the church or to pay for some of their events. The ice cream socials and ear- lier in the year, strawberry so- cials are favorite events in the rural areas and people come distances to savor the delicious homemade ice cream offered in a variety of flavors. Ice cream flavors at Noxen's ice cream social included chocolate, va- nilla, raspberry, orange, banana and peach. : “We netted $180 from this year's social which was a suc- cess,” Saporito said. HOMEMADE ICE CREAM A TREAT-There’s nothing like home- made ice cream on a hot, humid afternoon, Mary Hopfer told one of the persons who attend Noxen United Methodist Church Ice Cream Social last Saturday, as she handed the customer a large bow! of banana ice cream.

Repairs will include interior and exterior paint- ing, the renovation of a classroom into a meeting/lounge room, the - removal and replacement of all exterior sidewalks and steps, and the erection of a new outdoor bul- letin board sign. A major undertaking is the total rebuilding of the pipe organ. This project is being done by, Fritzche Organ Company of Allentown. Al- though the appearance of the or- gan willnot change, all of the inter- nal elements will be rebuilt, re- placed, or repaired. : The church's parsonage, located on Saginaw St., will receive an addition of some size to include a study for the pastor, the enlarging of the kitchen and the inclusion of a halfbath. New siding will also be installed to the exterior of the home. The church's “Old Basement” will be totally remodeled. This room ‘has served as the meeting place for countless scouts, (boys and girls), ' over the years and many other groups as well. A new heating system, a new ceiling and lighting, as well as general repairs and painting will offer a very comfort- able environment for our commu- nity groups. Church members and friends ‘will soon be estimating their sup- port though a capital giving pro- 8 gram named “Into the Next 100 Years”, a name that suggests the = goal of the church as it begins its & second hundred years of mission | and ministry.
