We’ll have our youth Christmas Party after the annual meeting, starting roughly around 12:30 PM or so. Ugly Christmas sweaters, games, music - celebrating the season together.

Pastor Ricardo will be out of town so Alan Rathbun, on staff at the District Office, will be sharing.
Alan Rathbun enjoys asking thoughtful questions and the opportunity he has to encourage and equip pastors to help them be faithful and fruitful with Jesus.  He's surprised as anyone to have spent his whole ministry career so far in Harrisburg, PA. He first served as a youth pastor, then as a church planter, and now serves in his current role with the district. He's married to Sandra, his college sweetheart from Lancaster Bible College, and they have 2 sons, 1 daughter, 1 daughter-in-love, and 1 son-in-love.  He is always up for a road trip, especially if it includes exploring God's beautiful creation, watching some baseball, or eating good ice cream.

Pastor Ricardo will be out of town so one of our elders, Scott Smith will share from the pulpit. Enjoy worship, prayer and fellowship together. Come early for a sweet treat in our café!
