We are a Community of Faith,
being Transformed by God's Grace,
Inspiring People to Become Disciples of Jesus.
We hope this newsletter finds you well. Take a look at all that is happening in the Linglestown Life community below:
 

“Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.” Captain James T. Kirk, Captain of the Starship Enterprise


This week's message explores the Neutral Zone (not the one that separates the United Federation of Planets and the Romulan Star Empire). In our study of the 3-phases of transition, the Neutral Zone is that in-between space. Between the Ending and the New Beginning comes this strange space that can be filled with chaos and creativity.


How we navigate this in-between space will help us to both 'let go' and be prepared for all that is new. Check out last week's message for more on the Transition series.


 


Save the Date


The Music Extravaganza returns on Friday, June 2 at 6:30pm.


See and hear from the best musicians at Linglestown Life.

Bells of Life


Our handbells are in need of a tune-up!


Our five octaves of handbells need polished, re-tuned, and repaired. Can you help with this special project?


The cost to refurbish the bells is $2,745. If you would like to contribute to the expense, please make a donation by check to Linglestown Life and mark Bell Fund in the memo line. Thanks!


Want to learn how to play the handbells?


This summer we'd like to host some introductory classes for kids and adults. If you would be interested in participating in this introductory experience, please contact a member of Bells of Life, or send an email to office@LinglestownLife.org

Nursery Care Servants


We have an abundance of infants in our nursery at 10:00am and need you to help! We are looking for servants who will join a team to serve the children and their parents. If you are willing to serve in this team, please contact the church office. You will be required to complete our Safe Sanctuary requirements.

 











Hope Academy


This plaque will be hanging on the wall of Hope Academy in Guatemala this January! Linglestown Life's generosity has brought hope and education to girls in this small village.


Sunday, May 21, Jennifer Hope-Tringali, the founder of Hope Academy, will be preaching during worship at 8:30 and 10:00am. Jennifer will be sharing on the work of the school and the impact your generosity has had on the community and girls.


Plan to join us for this special Sunday!

The Library at Linglestown Life


We have started cleaning and organizing the Library at the church, so if you planned on coming and getting a book or perusing the selections, it will be in a disorderly state for the next few weeks. We will update you when the Library has been cleaned and put back in a cohesive state.

 

Community Aid


We received a check for $362.43 from Community Aid for the donations in our bin for the first quarter of 2023. In the letter we received with the check it said they plan to increase their payout rate for donations beginning this quarter. Thank you for your donations in our bin and many thanks again to Cliff & Brenda Pogue for transporting them to the Community Aid donation center!

 

Attention Parents of Graduates


Parents, if your son or daughter is about to graduate from high school or college, we would like to know! Please share with us where they are graduating from and their future plans, including what they plan to study if they are continuing their education. Send an email to Office@LinglestownLife.org or call the church office at 717-545-5200.

 

LAHMBs Needs


The LAHMBs (The Lord’s Angels Helping Moms & Babies, an outreach helping parenting teens and families in need) has an immediate need for strollers (both full size and umbrella, no joggers please). Highchairs, bathtubs and clothing from preemie/newborn through size 5T are always accepted. Please share with your friends, neighbors, preschools and moms’ groups! All these blessings help others right in our own community. Please contact Sandy in the church office at Office@LinglestownLife.org or 717-545-5200 to coordinate a drop-off time or contact Julie Cassel at 717-448-1815 or thelahmbs@gmail.com for more information about LAHMBs and how you can serve in our ministry.

 

LAHMBs Fundraiser


LAHMBs will be holding their 2nd annual fundraiser, Rockin’ Out for Moms and Babies, on June 4th at Susquehanna Harley Davidson from 12pm until 3pm. We have been busy gathering gift certificates, raffle baskets and many other items for the silent and online auction. Would you be willing to support LAHMBs by donating a raffle basket, making a monetary donation or providing an item for the auction? You can also support the mission by attending on June 4th. There will be games, rock n roll music provided by Renegade Radio, food and more. Be sure to mark your calendars and tell your friends and neighbors! Contact Julie at 717-448-1815 or Monica at 717-433-0284 for more information.

 

Life Camp volunteers are needed for a variety of roles during the three days of camp. We are looking for youth to serve as game and activity leaders (garner hours for service), adults to shepherd and lead kids and programs, and persons to help with simple snacks each day.

You can sign up to volunteer by clicking this link.

Please contact Tammi Will at LCNSDirector@LinglestownLife.org for more information.
