We are so excited to kick off our new "Thanks. Praise. Calling." worship series this Sunday! We'll be hearing from our wonderful Strawbridge Young Adults, who returned from last July's Global Young People's Convocation in Dublin, Ireland.

We are deeply grateful for your generous support of this trip, and we can't wait to share our experiences with you. Come hear inspiring stories of how God moved during our travels, and join us as we reflect on our calling to love one another and create a sanctuary together.

Please join Joanna Pence, Aubrie MacDonald, Sarah Myint, and me for these personal reflections at either our 9:00 or 11:05 am service. We would love to see you there!

With warmth and gratitude,

Deaconess Kristen Tropeano

Artwork by our "Painters with a Purpose" are created in faith and shared with love. 100% of the proceeds are donated to our local mission partners.

Can you help us replenish our Bordersville Bingo Prize Supply?


We are always in need of practical household items for our Bingo prizes! Standard things like laundry detergent, liquid dishwashing soap, toothpaste, deodorants, etc. are all hugely appreciated by our friends in the Bordersville community.

Our collection bin is located in the Activity Hallway on the Mission's Table.

The final training session will be held tomorrow, November 7 (at Lake Houston UMC) leading up to the Prep Day on November 11 (at Lake Houston UMC).

“Christmas in the Four Gospel Homes” provides beautiful illustrations from architect Kevin Burns that re-imagine each of the four Gospels as a “Home” which the church visits at Christmas. Author, Cynthia M. Campbell, reflects on the distinctive perspective of the birth of Jesus or the incarnation offered by each Gospel.


The book is available via Amazon and Cokesbury among other online and brick-and-mortar retailers.
