 by John Sciullo


THE BLESSING BOARD, RICH GARLAND DIRECTOR

TBB continues to make plans to move to the new locations in July. The Vintage Market and offices will be located on Cedar Way in Oakmont behind the old Oakmont Bakery. The warehouse and showroom will be located at the former K-Mart off Route 8 in Shaler Plaza. Opportunities to help with the move will be available.

LOST AND FOUND PHARMACY AND SODA FOUNTAIN, SEAN & SHANNON PARSONS

L & F Pharmacy and Soda Fountain will be celebrating their 5th Anniversary on June 5 with an all-day celebration featuring music, a Perry Como impersonator, antique cars, and rides for $5 in a cherry red Mustang with the revenue going to the Patient Care Fund. Recently, L & F began servicing the Bridges Hospice. Part of the ministry involves the delivery of pharmaceuticals to the residents. In addition to the medicine, the drivers deliver Bibles provided by Hebron. Through your generosity we have another example of how one becomes active in the mission field.

THE HENDRICKSON MISSION, BARRETT AND CARRIE HENDRICKSON

The Hendricksons plan to be in Pittsburgh from August 9, 2021 to August 22, 2021. That will mark approximately one year since they left for the Bahamas. The schedule is currently a work in progress regarding allotting time during the service and a potential Meet and Greet. The Mobilization team will keep you posted through the eNewsletter and Hebron.org as the time nears. The planning with regards to the VBS Gather for the Hendrickson Mission continues. This Gather will not only fill a need that will help the children of Abaco realize the love strangers have for them, but it will teach the children at Hebron that the mission experience begins right here at home.

P.R.I.S.M., BERNADETTE FISCHER

Even though the pandemic has reduced the number of new students, those attending are enjoying activities such as hikes, a trip to Niagara Falls and another to Washington, D.C. These have led to the formation of a Discovery Bible study group. Bernadette’s role with P.R.I.S.M. continues to evolve as she prepares for the Garage Giveaway this summer. This is in addition to being an event coordinator and English teacher. If you feel led to engaging in one of the P.R.I.S.M. ministries visit the supporter website at www.pghcommission.org.
