MISSION:
This year’s Easter Gift for Jesus is split between our regional mission, capital development and improvement of Central PA UM Church camps, and our global mission, latrines for the UM school in Apam, Ghana. Gifts received so far: $2795 for the split Easter Gift and $1455 for Ghana alone.
All gifts for Ghana (including the Ghana portion of the Easter Gift) will be matched, dollar for dollar, to $3000. The total funds necessary to complete the school latrine project (12 seats for the boys and 12 for the girls) is $20,000. The Rotary gave $12,000 and we gave $1190 in the last quarter of 2007. The remaining need is $6810 (of which we have already raised $5705, including the matching gift).
| | | | We welcome young people and celebrate their gifts - in worship leadership, in musical performance, in video and audio technology, in mission and service. Youth are integrated with adults in our learning and fellowship activities.
Youth Ministry Links:
| | | | Our Motto and Mission: Stepping out together on new adventures with Jesus . . . and inviting others to share the journey.
Worship: Worship is interactive and relaxed. Each week, one of our young readers helps call us to worship with a Psalm. Our vocalists and band lead our singing of contemporary standards, anchor hymns, and even some chants. Children are invited up front for a Bible story with Pastor JP. Song lyrics and images are projected on a large screen. The messages are spiritual and down-to-earth. Doughnuts, coffee, and juice are served; and a Prayer Center is available throughout.
Community: Human beings are designed to connect in community. Our groups include educational groups, ministry groups, interest groups, retreats, youth activities, social events, Sunday School, and spiritual partners.
Mission: We don't exist to serve ourselves but to serve God's world. Partnerships include Manchester Township Recreation; the Northeastern Food Pantry; the Mants'ase Children's Home in Lesotho, Africa; and Radek & Lenka Novotny in Litomerice, the Czech Republic. And, each year, our Pay It Forward Projects multiply God's grace throughout the world.
Our Spirituality: Giving, Faithful, and Real. This is our reflection on the historic monastic vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience and the pervasive concerns of wealth, sex, and power.
