Youth Choir Tour Concert

The youth choir from Grove United Methodist Church in West Chester, PA has been touring each June for over 25 years. The choir members range in age from 13-18. Their concert includes various musical styles such as traditional, international, a capella, and contemporary Christian. The choir rehearses for about eight hours per week in preparation for their tour. This year the choir will be traveling to Virginia and then making a stop in Elizabethtown, PA, on their way back to West Chester.

Who is Jesus?
Sundays at 9:00am
There are many historical, doctrinal and cultural answers to this question, but for most of us who call ourselves Christian the important answer relates not to doctrine or history but to how we experience Jesus in our own lives. In her book Freeing Jesus: Rediscovering Jesus as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence, Diana Butler Bass shares her personal experiences of Jesus and invites us to reflect on and perhaps enlarge our understanding of Jesus in our own lives. You are invited to share in this journey in a six week class facilitated by Pat Shipley. This class continues until June 16.

Mark your calendars!
Saturday June 22 at 9:30am
We will hold a packaging event for Rise Against Hunger (RAH). This will be the second event this year. As you know, hunger is a serious problem around the world, this is especially true now as grain shipments from Ukraine have ceased due to the Russian blockade. RAH reports that Centenary has shipped 223,952 meals including those shipped under Stop Hunger Now. The meals we packaged in January went to the Philippines and Uganda.
Please join us on June 22 and help add 10,000 meals
to the total of this outreach project.
