LADIES’ BIBLE STUDY SERMON ON THE MOUNT by Jen Wilkin starts January 13 & 14, 2026. What if we navigated these three chapters in Matthew as they were originally heard? What if we read them as one cohesive, well-ordered message, intended to challenge us to think differently about what it means to be a follower of Jesus? Join us in this 9-session study, revised & updated, from Jen Wilkin as she invites you to do just that. Come and learn from Jesus, just as His disciples did. Books are available for pickup (suggested donation of $23). Sign up today in the main lobby! Nursery Available | Kids’ Jumpstart on Tuesdays. Registrations is now closed for Jumpstart. We have reached our capacity.

- 490 Christmas Cards were delivered to the Northumberland, Columbia and Montour county prisons and NCSTU.
- Hundreds of gifts were given through the Christmas Tree of Love. A heartfelt thank you to our church family for the love and generosity shown Your giving spirit touched so many lives – young and old. Stephanie Butler, the middle school counselor, shared her appreciation for the many gifts provided for the students. Your kindness truly
reflected the love of Christ.—Jim & Ruth Ann Hawkins - 2 large buckets full of school supplies were collected for the children in Honduras.
