(updated 11/25/08)
A special charge conference was held on
Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at 7:30 PM at FCUMC by our District Superintendent for the
purpose of considering and voting on a proposal from Cheltenham UMC to merge
all assets including property and membership into the Fox Chase UMC. The administrative board members
present, which was more than the quorum required, voted for the merger, which
took place effective July 1st. Some of the FCUMC members were present at
Cheltenham’s June 22, 10:30 am service where they invited all Cheltenham
members to join us at FCUMC in a combined service to Christ. The last service at Cheltenham took
place on the 29th of June. On July 6th there was a single service at
FCUMC and that was a welcoming time for our new members at 10am. A luncheon followed. There were over 100 people at the
church service and 16 people in the combined choir. The Boards of Trustees of both Churches are working together
to iron out the details of merger. On October 9, 2008 we received the
incorporation papers from the state of PA and are now officially merged with
the Cheltenham UM church. We will
now proceed to integrate Cheltenham funds, property and membership into Fox
Chase UMC. We are presently
soliciting buyers for the Cheltenham Church Property. Some interest has been
shown. Contact the FCUMC office
for information. Additional
details will be forthcoming. Stay
tuned.

Web Master Committee Experimental
Project-
We are in the process of trying
something new. At this location
there will be links to sound clips of various items of interest related to the
church. Our first experiment will
be a voice introduction by Pastor Krall followed by a piano selection from the
concert given by Dr. June Grutzmacher in the fall of 2008 at FCUMC. Total listening time is 5 minutes. There are two scenarios that may happen
depending on the settings in the operating system and the speed of your
internet link etc. 1) When you click on the link (Click Here to Hear”) the file
will begin to play in the Media Player.
It may pause a couple of times in order to catch up with the
download. If you persevere with
this you can replay it in its uninterrupted entirety. 2) The wave (wav) file will have to be downloaded into a temporary
directory. (approx. 27 meg.) The
computer will do this automatically if you answer “yes” to the question that
pops up on the screen. You will
need a fast internet link such as FIOS or Comcast or you will wait all
day. You may then click on the
downloaded file and it will open up and play in Microsoft’s Media player. Be patient while it loads in. It may take a minute or so. Media player is included in the Windows
XP and Vista operating systems and must configured to play wav files on auto
play. This is the default setting
when the operating system was first installed so if you haven’t made a change
it is probably O.K. If you
have any comments or questions let’s hear from you at the church E-Mail link
given below.
