On behalf of the Brown family, we would like to say Thank You everyone who has checked in on myself and my family after the loss of my dear son Brian and the surgery my daughter underwent. We can definitely feel all the thoughts, prayers and love at this time. From the food that was prepared for our family from different friends and family, the visits, calls and texts…we are deeply grateful for every single one of you guys! We will be having a Celebration of Brian's Life on August 30th from 3pm-7pm at the VFW 161 located in Port Jervis for anyone who would like to come by to pay their respects.
A Huge Thank You to Our VBS Volunteers! We are so grateful for each and every one of you who gave your time, energy, and heart to make this year’s Vacation Bible School a success! With 89 children registered, our church was filled with laughter, learning, and the joy of God’s Word. From setting up and decorating, to leading games, teaching lessons, serving snacks, and loving on the kids—your dedication and joy shone brightly. Thank you for making an eternal difference!
GEMS & Cadets are in great need of a few more counselors this coming season. If you have a passion for this ministry and would like to join us to be a blessing to the future generations, kindly see Shayna Kostenbader, Amanda Lundgren or Lenore Knapp for GEMS; and Dave or David Knapp for CADETS to find out more.
Please join us on Wednesday, August 27th at 7pm for our next Congregational Meeting. This will be a valuable time to hear ministry updates, discuss future plans, and make decisions together as a church family. Your presence and participation are vital as we seek God’s direction and work together to further His mission in our community.
