Holy Week Experience

FORGIVE, PARADISE, WOMAN, FORSAKEN, THIRST, FINISHED COMMEND

These are the Seven Last Words of Jesus.

From Maundy Thursday, April 6 through Saturday, April 8, you can experience the words in a powerful, interactive way at the Linglestown campus. You can come Thursday from 6-8pm, Friday from 10am-1pm and 4-7pm, and Saturday from 8-10am.

You will be able to interact with the words which Jesus spoke as well as engage in the meaning of those words for our daily life. You can participate in the experience alone, with others; and return often.

Handbell Festival

Members of our Bells of Life are joining with ringers from CrossPoint Church to participate in a massed bell festival on April 1st. They will be participating with 14 other choirs in an all-day event

Central Pennsylvania’s acclaimed Hershey Handbell Ensemble will host the inaugural “Susquehanna Valley Handbell Festival” to be held at the St. Joseph School, 420 East Simpson Street in Mechanicsburg on Saturday, April 1, 2023.

Under the direction of Guest Conductor Sandra Eithun, the concert will feature 15 bell choirs from eight counties throughout central Pennsylvania. The Hershey Handbell Ensemble is continuing the tradition of the Nittany Valley Handbell Festival which ended after a 26-year run. The 4 PM concert is open to the public with a suggested donation of $5.00.

Ms. Eithun currently leads the handbell program at Holy Family Conservatory of Music in Manitowoc, Wisconsin and has over 600 pieces published for handbells. She previously directed the Silver Lake College Handbell Ensemble and served as Director of Music Ministry at First Congregational United Church of Christ in New London, Wisconsin from 1992-2021. Ms. Eithun frequently serves as a clinician and conductor for numerous handbell festivals throughout the United States.

The Hershey Handbell Ensemble was formed in 2004 and is based in south-central Pennsylvania. It was formed to fulfill the need for an auditioned community ensemble comprised of persons able to play advanced literature, interested in advancing the art of handbell ringing through education and performance while uniting people through the musical arts. 



For additional information please contact the ensemble at 717-298-7071 or info@hersheyhandbellensemble.org

LAHMBs Needs

The LAHMBs (an outreach helping parenting teens and families in need) has an immediate need for 0-3 month boys and girls winter clothing. We are also low on clothing sizes 4T-6 boys and girls.

Help Setting Up Chairs Needed

Linglestown EUB Cook Book

In the past when our church was planning on expanding the building, some members put together a cook book to sell in order to pay for the expenses. Each week we will share a recipe or page from the cook book, which was printed in 1948 by the Willing Workers Class of the Evangelical United Brethren Church of Linglestown, PA. The bulletin board inside Janie’s Place will also have the recipes shared. The original cook book is in the office of the Director of Communications (next to the stage in fellowship hall) along with the rest of the historical books and documents the church has. If anyone would like to see them, just let Nick Sallade know!

Also, it has come to my attention that there was at least one other cookbook in the late 1950's or early 1960's, but I have found no copies of it here. If anyone knows anything about it or has a copy, I would love to see it and turn it digital!

This week is the best of the best....PIES! Everything from Mincemeat to Lemon to Cream Puffs and Pineapple Custard. Yum! They can be found here.
