Men, register today for the annual Men’s Retreat on January 27-28, 2023. This year’s theme is “Fighting the Good Fight.”  Come enjoy fellowship, worship, and teaching. CLICK HERE for details and registration. Deadline to register is Monday, January 23!

This Sunday, we will recognize “Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.” Three local ministries that protect the unborn and minister to the women and men in our community will share a brief update and have tables in the Narthex: Chester County Connect Care, Healing Hearts, and Genesis Women’s Clinic. This day is set aside in our nation to pray for and remember the lives of the unborn children. We are grateful for the overturning of Roe v. Wade, however, there is still a battle for the unborn in our nation, state, and local community. As followers of Christ, let us boldly proclaim the Biblical truth that life begins at conception. “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Psalm 139:13-14a.

Baby Bottle Drive
You can impact our community through the Baby Bottle Drive with Chester County Connect Care. Please fill your bottle with change, currency, or a check written to Chester County Connect Care and return by February 26, 2023. You can pickup a bottle at the table in the Narthex.

Community Connection Groups are an active attempt to make our big church feel a little smaller. We are preparing to help you—the church body—get plugged into a Community Connection Group. Groups can gather for a potluck or dessert night, meet at a local coffee shop, take a walk in the park, or have a game night together. Before we can get started forming groups, we need POINT PEOPLE! Being a Point Person simply means that you will be the facilitator and the primary communicator of an assigned Community Connection Group. Groups will be forming soon!

If you are interested in being a Point Person signup here.
