This week's Scripture Lessons: *Psalm 71:1-6 and *Jeremiah 1:4-10
*Click scripture links to read these passages in the NRSV Bible.
Sermon Title: "Putting Words in My Mouth"
A note from Dr. Fitze about the sermon:
“Our text for Sunday is a “call story.” Since I was called to ministry while at YPPC, I thought this could be a fitting sermon to share with my longtime friends who have supported my faith journey for over 40 years!”

Yeamans Park is sponsoring a community blood drive on May 25th. Please help reach the drive's "patient need goal" of 22 pints of blood! Currently 13 vounteers have signed up to donate.
The American Red Cross urges us to roll up our sleeves and help during Trauma Awareness Month in May. Our blood is needed more than we may think. Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. In the hour it takes to donate blood, each of us can help save the lives of patients in our community and across the country.
You may make an appointment for the May 25 drive online by clicking the button below. Please enter the sponsor code, YeamansParkPres, when it is requested. Walk-ins also are welcome!
All YPPC donors will receive a Red Cross Water Bottle to help us stay hydrated while we save lives!

Current Covid Guidance
Our Covid Protocol level is Phase 1 - CDC Risk of Spread - Low.
This is based on CDC's revised Risk-of-Spread Metric. In this system, a low risk of spread is green, a moderate risk is yellow, and a high risk is red. The risk level for each county will be posted each week and that will determine the Safety Protocol level we will follow. Our tri-county area currently is at Green (low risk).
Masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer will remain available to anyone who would like them.
