Immediately following worship this Sunday we will have a "pounding" for Matthew and Ellen Reichenberger.

What is a Pounding? Wikipedia says, “Pounding is a ritual in Christianity in which a new minister is given gifts by members of the congregation of that church at which he is assigned to preach. The practice can be traced back to at least the 19th century, when communicants of a church visited the parsonage and dropped off a pound of an item of food, such as "coffee, sugar, flour or honey." 

Matthew and Ellen don’t have a parsonage, but we’ll bring goods to the fellowship hall for them to launch their new home. It’s a chance to drop by and get to know them better.
