Live ONLINE (Virtual) Bible Study
Every other Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. (see calendar for next meeting - days/times may change)
Facilitator:  Pastor Mike Coulson

We know there can be many obstacles standing in the way between you and a Bible study so we are going to do out best to clear some of them out of the way. Every other Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. we have a live Bible study online through Zoom. We study the Bible together live and from each of our homes through video conferencing to eliminate the need for finding a babysitter or driving at night. We are currently studying the Gospel of John!
To join in simply click on this link to join the Bible Study at the starting time: https://zoom.us/j/6103771696 and use 040420 as the password.
You can you the existing camera and microphone in your laptop, a webcam and microphone plugged into a desktop, or by using the mobile app!
If you have any questions just call the church at 610-377-1696 and we will walk you through what you will need to do!​

Everyone is invited to come out and participate in our next Evangelism Committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday the 15th at 7p.m. The Evangelism Committee plans fun events and activities for our congregation to better get to know each other.  This is an important part of our church as it plans events and activities to help us get to know the people in our community which opens the door to walking beside them in their journey of faith.  Come attend a meeting and see if God is calling you to serve Him in this way!
Begins Friday, June 18 at 5:00 and continues through Saturday, June 19 at the People's E.C. Pavilion
Bring your RV, tent, or sleeping bag to join us for a fun family friendly night under the stars! Enjoy campfire, games, and fellowship. 
2nd Annual NE District Pig Roast
Thursday, July 24
Mark your calendars for July 24th and sign up on the back bulletin board if you are interested in attending this year’s pig roast.  We are trying to get a ballpark attendance number to know how big of a pig to get!  This is a great opportunity to get to know members of the other EC churches in our area!
Recycling is still going on.  Help us reach our goal!
​
Help us to be good stewards of God's creation and get a new bench to use during our Smores and More events!  Just bring in any of the items in the picture (clean and dry) to church with you and place in the bin that we have labeled and if we collect 500lbs before September, Trex will give us a new bench that we can use to sit around the fire pit all summer cooking smores!
