Christian Education at Grace

“The Church does not have an education ministry, it is an education ministry.”

Please PRAYERFULLY consider how you might answer God’s call to help with the ministries of our church. We are in need of teacher helpers, nursery workers and prayer partners. If you are interested please see Becky Witmer for more information.

Current needs during both services:

Nursery workers in infant and toddler nurseries

Children’s Church teachers and helpers

Central Pennsylvania Camp and Retreat Ministries provide environments of Christian hospitality, renewal and experiential learning designed to help kids find and grow their faith in God and develop as Christian disciples and spiritual leaders

Come Camp With Us!

Our Central Pennsylvania Conference offers summer camping experiences for all ages! Check it out on-line at www.cpcumc.org. Our church will pay for ½ the cost of sending your child to camp this summer up to $150.00 per camper. Choose your camp, complete and print out the application and give it to Becky Witmer for submission.

Grace Kids in the Morning!
