MESSY CHURCH is an informal, fun way to be a family and learn about God. Come enjoy some family-friendly crafts, worship time and a small meal together with your family.

Breakfast - 1st & 2nd Thursday Each Month
JoJos Pizza/Cafe Dolce in Millerstown has agreed to help support the Recreation and Park Association and Millerstown Community Success Inc. in their efforts to raise money to continue with its projects at the park, and in downtown Millerstown. The nonprofit Park organization is continuing to work on Phase A, which just recently has included an electrical upgrade. It hopes to soon begin construction on building pavilions and an amphitheatre. This construction has been placed on hold to allow Elizabethtown College to complete an archeological dig mandated by the state.
Every first and second Thursdays from 5:30-10:30AM, at JoJos Cafe Dolce, ten percent of the profits from breakfast sales will be given to these two organizations. This will continue throughout the 2009 year. MCSI's profits will directly benefit the businesses in the area, including Stitch In Time, Mastracchios West, Hall's Ice Cream, Choc O Latte Cafe, Wisen's Service Center.
CELL PHONE PROJECT CONTINUES IN MILLERSTOWN
Don't know what to do with all of your old cell phones after you receive new phones? The solution is quite simple, donate them to be recycled!
Millerstown Community Success, Inc. has been pleased with the response to their recent cell phone drive and wants everyone to know that the drive continues with collection boxes located in area business places including Juniata Valley Bank, Jo Jo's Pizza, Maggies Tips and Toes, Millerstown Moose Family Center, Hall's Dairy, and Millerstown Veterinary Clinic, all in Millerstown. Boxes can also be found at Schlegels Hardware and Grocery Store in East Salem, Rite Aid, Highland Presbyterian Church and the Medicine Shop in Newport. Phones can also be given to any MCSI member or persons with cell phones to donate may call 589-3598 to arrange to have them picked up.
MCSI has teamed with Pace-Butler Corporation to sponsor this event designed to recycle the phones to countries where technology is not as advanced as in the United States. Another very good reason to recycle cell phones is to prevent them from being dumped into land fills and contaminating the environment.
Only the cell phones can be donated; the company will not accept accessories or chargers. The project is designed as a community service project of Millerstown Community Success, Inc.
