Grow by reading 1 Peter, Congratulations, & 2 Fundraisers!
Dear Church,
While Ray Stark and Chastity Frederick kicked off our TTGU (Time to Grow Up) series in York, a delegation of Stillmeadow Nazarenes were worshiping with sisters and brothers from across the Mid-Atlantic District. What an encouraging time! God is stirring in his people!
Grow by Reading 1 Peter
In York, we were challenged to read through 1 Peter during this series. I am reading it in the New Living Translation this week and was struck by 2:24 where it says “He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right.” What about you? Feel free to text (717-577-6446) or email (pastorjosh@stillnaz.com) your thoughts on what you’re learning. And, even better, share it with your small group or family!
Congratulations!
In Maryland, Ronnie Vandervort and Chris Fuller both received their ordination credentials from the Church of the Nazarene on Sunday night. We are so grateful to both of them for their ministry and proud of them for their efforts in reaching this level of leadership within our denomination. You can view their ordination service here.

PS Did you want to catch up with what happened at District Assembly? We were inspired and challenged in our time together with our district. You can go back and view the services but I really recommend the “Service on the Ministry.”
