A Message from Pastor Rachel 

Linglestown Life Family, 



What a joy it is to be writing this first message to you! And what a surprise it was to be so warmly welcomed into our new house with your generous gifts. We’ve now been in the parsonage for almost 2 weeks, and the boys have been enjoying the books and new toys, and all of us have enjoyed exploring the area and trying new places with the gift cards you gave us. It is safe to say: we love Linglestown! This is such a friendly community and we are looking forward to making this place our home. Thank you for your amazing hospitality! 

I am also looking forward to our first Sunday in worship together. While I’ve been fortunate enough to meet some of you already, many of you only know me through a photograph and a few words spoken about me months ago. Sunday will be the start of us getting to know each other face to face, and there will be opportunities in the near future to gather in smaller informal circles. If you would like to get together for lunch or coffee, don’t hesitate to reach out! I look forward to getting to know you in the weeks and months to come. 

This Sunday, July 2nd

On July 2nd, we will have one service at 10:00am due to it being a holiday weekend. We will still have communion and will follow First Sunday protocol with childcare, only Nursery will be available, there is no Children's Sunday School. The message this week is;

Let’s Get Together

The most beautiful things can come from the most unlikely of situations. Naomi saw a life of loneliness and hopelessness, but then Ruth offered her the invitation of a lifetime. Join us this Sunday, July 2nd as we meet Pastor Rachel and discover the invitation God may be offering us in this new season 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

THANK YOU!

This past weekend was such a wonderful expression of your thankfulness for our ministry together. I was overwhelmed with a full heart in appreciation for your gifts, cards and personal expressions. I am forever grateful for our time in ministry together.

There are so many people to thank for everything. Each of you did what you do best- you gave from your heart. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

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.

Hospitality on Sundays

Are you, as Rev. Jason put it, able to squat or bend to a child's level? Can you brew coffee and/or bake? We are looking for members to revitalize our hospitality after/before our services. If you are able and willing to help out, contact office@linglestownlife.org or on your connection cards!
