This year many hands are working together making school bags, fishing kits, sewing kits, busy books and much more for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. Every first, third and fifth Tuesdays of each month we have been working on these projects and are excited about the many items we have already completed. We have more work to do and invite you to help us. Lots of various skills are needed so there is something for everyone to do. We meet in the lower level of the church building.

We encourage you to join us for service to hear from our special guest speaker, Pastor Sam Smucker. Sam was raised in an Amish home in Lancaster County. Sam and his wife Sherlyn went to RHEMA Bible Training Center in Tulsa, OK. After graduating in 1977, they were asked to consider coming back to Lancaster to pastor a new church. That congregation has grown to over 3,000 today. On June 11, 2017 Sam and Sherlyn completed their 40 years of ministry.
