Kids & Teen Camp, Camp Fundraiser
Dear Church Family,
This past week we stormed the heights in our first all- church prayer walk. We had many stories of connection and prayer. There was a group of teenagers who met a woman who was struggling with her mulch so they stopped, mulched for her and talked with her about Stillmeadow. There were groups that prayed with people in their yards and there were groups that helped people who had fallen and offered encouragement. We all prayed and saw God's hand moving in a mighty way. We encourage each of you to continue to join in our prayer walking summer, highlight your route on the map and then share your stories with us! Let's cover Manchester Township and York City in prayer this summer and watch and see what God will do! Our next all-church prayer walk is July 16th!
Yesterday, Pastor Kent preached about sin and the atonement. John 1:29 says, "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, 'Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!'" We know we live in a world of original sin and are tempted in our own personal sin but look, there is Jesus, who takes away the sin of the world! Jesus came as the perfect remedy that we may live a full life now, not just in eternity! May we continue to look to Him, turn away from sin, and show His perfect love to others! As we turn our eyes back to Him, may we see the world through the eyes of Jesus! As we continue our Footsteps of the Faith series, pick up a journal at the welcome desk, and journey with us through the devotional!
