We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day yesterday for our annual picnic! Thank you to everyone who joined in on the fun as well as a special thanks to our trustee and kitchen committees for all of their hard work setting up and tearing everything down. After all...
I hope you all had a great day celebrating Father’s Day and spending time with your families! I know many of you were on vacation this weekend and weren’t able to join us in worship yesterday. We continued in our study of the Book of James as we launched into...
What did you do yesterday? Did it go according to your plan? Several of you shared with me yesterday after the service that you also struggle in the area of planning ahead. The second half of James 4 really brings to light the subtle but profound way we tend to...
Allison, Allan, and I had a great weekend away camping with our family at Knoebels! While we didn’t get a lot of rest, we did have a lot of fun with our nieces and nephews. There’s nothing quite like a large, multigenerational family trying to stick together in an amusement...
As we celebrated Memorial Day yesterday, we also marked the unofficial start of Summer. The school year is coming to a close, family vacations are starting, and the sun may even make an appearance…but clearly not today! I’m sure everyone is getting excited for their summer plans! I know I...

“Go and make disciples” – Matthew 28:19 Go! Over and over yesterday during our time of worship I heard the command to go! Did you hear it? What is God calling you to GO and do? Go! Go Beyond and connect with our community. The week-long, Lancaster-county-wide service time is...
So how did you do on James’ self-assessment yesterday? (If you missed the sermon, check it out here) How is your religion…how is the outworking of your heart-felt relationship with God? Are you keeping a close eye on your tongue? How are your words? We are called to speak in...
Yesterday we started our new series through the Book of James…and what a way to start! James doesn’t hold anything back as he launches directly into such a challenging topic. How can we consider everything as joy in the midst of trials? James states it pretty clearly but the application...
He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! I hope you all had an amazing Resurrection Sunday as we worshipped our Risen Lord and Savior! Isn’t it amazing to think about God’s whole story of redemption, which started in Genesis chapter 3 when mankind willingly walked away from God, culminating on...
