From the Pastor’s Study

FROM THE PASTOR’S STUDY

In this year when we as a nation are celebrating our semiquincentennial, we also have much to celebrate as a congregation. We baptized eight persons from an infant to a senior citizen at the end of April. We recognized a graduating senior. We hosted the Baccalaureate service for the Jim Thorpe High School. We concluded a successful year with our Sunday School at the end of May, which will resume in September. We finished an adult Bible study on Matthew in June and plan to do one on John in September.

We held a very successful clothing giveaway in June in which about 300 persons were able to help themselves to free items. The opening day reminded me of Black Friday at WalMart.

Our council president and his wife along with me attended the NEPA Synod assembly where we elected our first female bishop, the Reverend Jennifer Dee, who will assume her position on August 31.

If you find yourself visiting historic Jim Thorpe, we invite you to worship with us on Sunday mornings at 10:30 am. Our sanctuary is air conditioned. We also broadcast our service on WLSH AM radio,1410, Lansford, and the service can be accessed on the internet by entering that station information. We are located next to the historic Mauch Chunk Cemetery on South Avenue. We have a beautiful memorial Prayer Garden located behind our church and just off the switchback trail. Feel free to visit it.

May God grant you a wonderful summer,

Pastor Bill
