Fruitbelt Migrant WorkersThe Mission Committee will soon be gear-

ing up to go to a migrant worker camp inAdams County. Those of us who have gone

to the camp have found it to be a blessing to

ourselves as well as to the workers to whomwe take food and clothing and with whom

we share Gods word. The group of workers

comprises about 13 men, all related in some

way. They are family men who enter thiscountry legally to work; they only spend the

month of December in their little village in

the State of Michoacan, Mexico; the othertwelve months they are working in this

country.

We have established good rapport withthem and they are, indeed, very appreciative

of our efforts because of their work which

requires them to be picking from sunup to

sundown six days a week. Their camp is in themiddle of an orchard away from the beaten path

and their TV is mainly their one contact with

the outside world. Usually, we go as a groupand take refreshments each time we visit them,

as well as warm- weather clothing, Bingo

prizes, such as, socks, gloves, etc. Our visitsnumber about four each year. The last time we

visit, we like to take the fixings for a barbecue

and, if possible, some homemade vanilla icecream which really tastes good when youve

been out in the hot sun all week. The camp is

owned by Mike Sharrah, who has hired the men

for a number of years because they are goodworkers. If you would like to make a donation

of food or help in any way, please contact a

member of Centrals Mission Committee by

calling the church at 717-264-4113.

real effort to find a church if youre new to an

area; and that there are formidable barriers toentry for first-time visitors. And Im a pastor!

I know how this church business works!

Some rather obvious thoughts for us: Its a

lot easier and more comfortable to visit achurch if one is invited. Its important that

churches have a website rich with informa-

tion. Guests need a lot of help knowing whereto go and what to do. A simple but warm and

sincere welcome goes a long way. My dreamfor Central is that we become the warmest,most inviting and welcoming church in town.

And were on our way - lets build on what

God is already doing and make Central a

church alive with the welcoming love ofChrist.
