On Wednesday, September 25th, we ask you and those you live with to participate in a prayer walk around your neighborhood. The goal is to pray for your neighbors, and, who knows, you might even strike up a conversation that could lead to discussions about your faith in the future.

If you are willing to take on this challenge, please sign up so we can commit to praying for you during your prayer walk. We also encourage you to send us feedback about your experience. Consider using this resource as a guide to help you during your walk.

On September 28th and 29th, at our March St. and Second St. locations, we will be hosting an event called “Love Thy Neighbor.” As a church body, we will gather to reach out to our neighbors with the hope of sharing the love of Christ. This event aims to be different from similar events we've held in the past by focusing on localized, people-centered projects, providing us the best opportunity to interact with our community members—our neighbors.

In addition to being good neighbors around our church buildings, we invite and challenge you to do the same in your own neighborhood. On Wednesday, September 25th, we ask you and those you live with to participate in a prayer walk around your neighborhood.

Register for people-centered projects on our website. 

Nov 2, 10am-2pm at Llantrisant Event Venue (336 Bushkill St, Tatamy)

Do you know that your confidence in Christ is your right? In our powerful and practical sessions, author, counselor, Bible teacher and a Proverbs31 international speaker, Sue Heimer will explore the "confidence stealer's" that creep into our lives and rob us of the confidence and courage that God desires us to have to live an abundant life. Join us for a powerful time of worship, dynamic teaching, delicious food and sweet fellowship. Ages 16+ warmly welcomed. Childcare is not provided. Cost: $5 (scholarships available). Register here. Contact Susan Schroeder with any questions.

It happens all the time. We run into a friend at the grocery store or pass a coworker in the hallway. They ask, “How are you? How’s life?” And we respond, “Busy.” But we aren’t just busy—we’re too busy – crazy busy. So many of us are living our lives at 100 mph and feeling burned out. We have ridiculous expectations for ourselves and to make matters worse, busyness is often celebrated in our high-achieving, fast-paced culture. Between demanding jobs, kids schedules, maintaining a home, and other responsibilities, life leaves little time for rest and relaxation. This can lead to exhaustion, burnout, and irritability, which can put a strain on the marriage. How did we get this way? What effect does all this have on your marriage? Does your ever-busy lifestyle make it difficult for you and your partner to stay connected emotionally, physically, and spiritually? Without focused time together, couples can become defined only as co-parents, roommates or something else. This can be especially true for parents, who may have long nights, conflicting work schedules, and many commitments. Marriage at the Speed of Life is the focus of this year’s Cornerstone Marriage Retreat. In our four sessions, we will look at four ways to combat a hurried life with the acrostic T.I.M.E. Thoughtfulness – Taking an inventory of why we are so busy Intentionality – Investing into our marriage through better planning to build margin so that can focus on one another Mutuality – Thinking “We” instead of “Me” – Finding ways to love and bless one another.
