Paint Night, Car Wash, Stillnaz Shirts
Dear Church Family,
FYI: We’re moving our weekly emails to Mondays! You’ll find the things we highlighted on Sunday right in here!
Yesterday we began “Renew” our series on Sabbath, leading up to my summer Sabbatical (June 3-August 18). We were made in the image of the God who rested and who invites us into His rest. Truly, we need to “catch our breath” in Him.
Check out the Stillmeadow Lane Service and the York City Campus Service recordings.
I encourage you to follow the Daily Readings and Reflections. In a very real way, daily reading and prayer is a way to “catch our breath” with Him.
Psalm 116:7 says:
“Return to your rest, my soul;
For the Lord has been good to you.”

Congratulations to Pastor Rachel
After 13 years of service at Stillmeadow and 22 years of participation, Pastor Rachel Zeigler is being led by God to serve as Lead Pastor at Hagerstown Nazarene. Click here for the original announcement.
This is bittersweet, because she has been such a vital part of our church family at Stillmeadow, but we are confident that as God has led His church for centuries, that He will remain faithful to Stillmeadow and our kids ministry and Hagerstown as Rachel begins her ministry there.
We will have a farewell potluck party for her in the afternoon of April 28, from 5-7PM.
Sign up for the potluck here!
Congratulations
To Tyler and Allysia Warntz who welcomed Elliana Justine on April 6th!
I conclude two verses from our new series:
“Return to your rest, my soul,
for the Lord has been good to you.”
(Psalm 116:7)
and
“The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
(Matthew 12:8)
Let’s rest in Him…
Pastor Josh and the Stillmeadow Team
