TRIP TO GERMANTOWN - August 17, 2019 (Saturday). The Spiritual Enrichment Team is planning a trip to Germantown (Philadelphia) lead by Pastor Bob Krouse. We will be visiting the first Church of the Brethren in America as well as its first baptismal site in the nearby Wissahickon Creek. More details as we firm things up, but the basics are that we hope to travel in the church vans leaving early, and arriving home by 8 pm at the latest---possibly much earlier. It will be a day of learning, fun, and fellowship. Please plan to join us!

CONTACTING THE PASTOR
Pastor Joel can be reached most mornings in the church office Monday - Thursday from 9:00 AM to noon. Afternoons and evenings are often set aside for visiting those in need, for meetings, and for other pastoral duties. Pastor Joel is also available for Pastoral Counseling by appointment. 
If you need to reach the pastor outside of office hours, his home phone number is
(717)318-5442, and his cell number is (717)271-4888 . You can also email him at pastor@yorkfirst.org. Note that laws prevent hospitals from contacting a pastor without your permission when you are admitted, so you will need to let hospital staff know that you would like the hospital to contact your pastor.
