This week is a “can’t-miss” Sunday. Throughout the morning, we will welcome thirteen new members, baptize two babies, and baptize three of our confirmation students. Baptism is such an important part of our worship as we celebrate God’s transforming work in people, through Jesus Christ. So, I wanted to spend a little time sharing our […]

At 7:04 am, I sent an email out to our Elders, Trustees, Deacons, Staff and Lead Team. I asked them to pray for our final inspections on the building project. I also shared these words from Psalm 90: Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born or you […]

We have been on a journey… And we will continue to be on a journey… But the tabernacle season we have been on for the last 5 years will come to an end this Sunday. What a God we serve! What a community of believers God has put together to shine in the Lehigh Valley, […]

This past Sunday was the beginning of Holy Week. Once again, a donkey came down the aisle in our Palm Sunday worship services. It was so good to have so many of our children in worship waving palms, leading us in worship, and then joyfully picking up eggs at the postponed Easter Egg hunt in […]

If you didn’t pick up your final installment of the scripture journal, I hope you will get yours on Sunday. The English word passion comes from the Latin word passio, which means suffering. Sunday, […]

This Sunday, we continue walking through the Gospel of Luke. Kyra Thomas, our Pastoral Fellow and Young Adult Director, will be preaching, “This is My Son.” Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a mountain and these 3 disciples see the glory of Jesus. They hear God speaking, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen, […]

Are you Team Eagles? Team Commercials? Or Team Snacks? I didn’t bother naming the other team…. Because this year, our community has skin in the game. I usually am Team Commercials, but this year I’m rooting for my adopted home team. I’ll have my Eagles jersey on Sunday, and I hope you will join me […]
