St. John's UCC is planning to start a breast cancer survivor group to provide an opportunity for women to encourage one another in response to this disease.

Planners want to have experienced individuals sharing their knowledge with those involved in the gathering.

Since this venture is still in the early planning stages, interested individuals are invited to provide input on how the group can best help those who are dealing with breast cancer.

Call the church at 610-262-8061 for information.
