Prayer Partner July Focus:

Since the beginning, God has always been deeply involved in the world. We see God’s handiwork on display in creation. We see God’s love on display through Jesus, who came to rescue us. We respond to God in faith, believing in what we can’t see because of what we can see. When we focus on what we know to be true about God and the world God created, we can have faith in what we can’t see or fully understand. We put that faith into action as we follow Jesus and show His love to the world.

Prayer Partner June Focus:

Pray for the kids who might be struggling with certain fears, that they would have comfort and hope in the knowledge that God is always with us and wants to help us face our fears. Ask God to put the right people and the right resources around kids in and around the church to guide them as they face their fears. For those who aren’t currently struggling, ask God to plant seeds of encouragement in their hearts that they can refer back to when they do go through hard times.

Ask God to guide our Children's Ministry team as we plant the seeds that will set a foundation for kids’ faith in the future. Ask God to help answer some of the questions kids have in a way they can understand but also helps fuel their curiosity about Jesus and how to have a relationship with Him.

VBS Registration is open!

MX Dates: June 14-18th, 2023

What is MX? MX is an abbreviation of Mission Experience. It's a new way of saying 'Service Project' or 'Work Camp'; except for these differences:

MX is intentionally as intergenerational as we can make the entire week-long experience be! It's not just a term we use to mean 'all ages'; it's a term we use in our vision! The church AND the family working in partnership to disciple their children. Discipleship happens in small age-appropriate groups; Discipleship also happens when two different generations sit next to each other and share EXPERIENCES!
MX is about being open to all possibilities and saying confidently and enthusiastically, 'Yes. Lord!' to opportunities instead of listing reasons why something is too expensive; too difficult; too bizarre; too different.
MX is about connecting FUMC with our neighbors, but also with each other!
MX is about experiencing our vision of 'Connect Ignite Shine' to understand our vision.

Every member of FUMC is invited to join us this summer as we set out to experience whatever moments God has in store for us!

Service Opportunity- Trustees are looking to volunteers to mow the lawns at the church and trim once a week. Volunteers must be 18 years. Contact Doug Davis dougdavis0034@yahoo.com

Memorial Stone -There have been discussions over the last few years about memorializing the people who were buried in our grave yard, which was located next to the Family Life Center. Joan Bowen did extensive research to determine a complete list of names. She also donated $8,000 to the project. We have decided to contract with Shull-Koontz Memorials for a granite stone and bronze plaque. The estimated total cost is $11,500. If you would like to donate to this project please put your donation in a plain envelope marked Cemetery Memorial.

Please contact the church about hospitalizations as we no longer are contacted when parishioners are hospitalized.

Flower Update - Dear Folks, There are 7 openings for altar flowers this summer. I am inviting anyone, who would like, to share a vase or a basket of flowers from their garden. This would be in place of the regular altar vases. So many of you have beautiful flowers during the summer. Wild flowers could be included, also. I thought this would be a way to share the beauty of your flowers. If you are interested let me know. My email address is renshawb@pa.net or call me at (717)263-3660. I will also have a signup sheet at the Welcome Desk. Here are the dates: June 4, July 2, 9, 16, 23, August 6, and September 3. Thank you, Bette

2022-2023 Parent Information Packet (Digital)

Prayer Partner May Focus:

We might try to base our confidence on what we do well, or what someone might say about us. But true confidence should be built on something different. We think it’s found in understanding how God is both big enough to create the universe, but also close enough to be right here with us. We know that we can trust God no matter what. We are crated in God’s image. And God loves us so much! Nowhere is this more evident than in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. And, when we trust Jesus with our life, the Holy Spirit is there to help us face whatever comes our way. We can respond to God’s love and care with confidence!

Pray and ask God to open each kid’s heart to receive God’s love. Ask God to help them learn to feel confident, knowing that the Holy Spirit is here to help them. Ask God to help the kids show the fruit of the Spirit in their interactions with others as they make the wise choice.
