Members Who Are Ill MOUNT CARMEL S PUBLIC INFORMATION PAGE Flora Austin Wisteria Harris Anita Nottingham Emily Redmond 2101 Belmont Ave., Apt. F125 Philadelphia, PA 19131 7121 Hummingbird Place, 1st Floor Philadelphia, PA 19153 1705 N. Robinson Street Philadelphia, PA 19151 5552 Delancey Street Philadelphia, PA 19143-7328 On the Issues Senator Vincent Hughes Keystone Scholars Program Senator Hughes was the prime co-sponsor to Senate Bill 1130, which addressed the Keystone Scholars program, prior to it being added to the budget as a part of Fiscal Code (Act 42) in the 2018-2019 budget. Any child who is a Pennsylvania resident at birth or adopted by a Pennsylvania family on or after January 1, 2019, will be eligible to participate in the program which automatically gives the child a $100 start from the state towards the child s college education. I supported the Keystone Scholars program from the beginning because I believe in the power of education and the opportunities it provides, Hughes said. The $100 investment into Pennsylvania students helps create the mindset that higher education can be a reality while also encouraging families to plan for the future while a child is still young. Thank you to Treasure Joe Torsella, Senator John Gordner and Representative Duane Milne for supporting this, as well as Gov. Tom Wolf for signing this program into law. The $100 scholarship grant will grow through investment in a PA 529 account, and is not paid for with any taxpayer funds, according to Treasurer Joe Torsella. The program will be funded from existing surplus investment earnings within the PA Guaranteed Savings Program as well as philanthropic donations. Families have until their child turns 29 years old to use the funds. The scholarship grant and any additional college savings each family saves by opening a PA 529 account can be used for any qualified higher education expense at an approved institution of higher education, including trade schools, vocational programs, community colleges, and universities in or outside Pennsylvania. Keystone Scholars also provides students with a multitude of outlets to pursue after high school, should they choose to choose an alternative route to a 2- or 4-year institution, Senator Hughes said. This will hopefully be one of the many initiatives pushing this state into a 21st century economy through the opportunities it provides.

"Footsteps of Faith: Still Walking" Campaign This campaign is a one year (July 2018 - July 2019) faith journey in order to eliminate the remaining mortgage balance. By eliminating the mortgage, we will be in a far better position to address structural/maintenance needs inside and outside of the church building, while at the same time meeting and expanding our ministry opportunities for the church family and wider community. This is a journey of sacrifice and includes different levels of giving. See pledge cards and envelopes in the entryway.

All are welcome to attend. Church Office Summer Hours: Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm The Library Ministry Book Discussion Group, formed in 2011, will launch a new book discussion in September of Mitch Albom s book The First Phone Call from Heaven. This book was on the New York Times Bestseller List for over 205 weeks. The following is a brief summary of the book. If you are interested and want to have more information about the book prior to placing an order, a more detailed summary is available in the church library. The First Phone Call from Heaven: A page-turning mystery (novel) and a meditation on the power of human connection. One morning in the small town of Coldwater, Michigan, the phones start ringing. The voices say they are calling from Heaven. Their common message is that there is life after death. Is it the greatest miracle ever? Or some cruel hoax? As the calls increase, and proof of an afterlife begins to surface, the town -- and the world -- transform. Only Sully, convinced there is nothing beyond this sad life, digs into the phenomenon, determined to disprove it for his child and his own broken heart. Our book discussions are highlighted by not only sharing our views on the book but also spirited related discussion. We welcome new members into our Book Discussion Circle when we resume in September. We normally meet on the second Saturday from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Our September date and location will be confirmed in August. Orders for The First Phone Call from Heaven will be taken in the church library until Sunday, July 29, 2018. Cost $6.50.
