A Message From Pastor Paul

God has an awesome summer of LOVE awaiting us as we continue to be an Acts 2 Church.

We will be firing up the grills and inflating the moon bounces as the band is Fired Up for Jesus. This pastor is ready to preach the Fire of the coming of the Holy Spirit! Yes, it’s Pentecost Sunday Celebration at North Glen Community Church – Join us on June 4th at 11:00.
*** Please note: we will only have one service on this Sunday due to the Block Party.

What a way to open up the Summer! This is a very special day as we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God. We are ready to spread the Holy Spirit Fire into our community. Let’s all pray that souls would receive the Holy Spirit on this very special celebration! Jesus’ promise of the coming of the Holy Spirit is a reminder of another promise – that Jesus is coming back to take His Church Home!

Let us turn this Block Party into a Holy Spirit revival.

Be Blessed In Jesus.

Pastor Paul

Discipleship News       

Well, as I sit here and type this out, I am reminded that life is hectic! The day-to-day events are not going to go as always planned. Speed bumps are always out there. Life is real. God is real. Our Bridge Group is going about as one would expect for this difficult age group. We discuss real life issues they are having with relationships, work, friends, politics, emotions, drugs, and priorities in a biblical setting. Sometimes I have one and others times I can have seven in attendance and each discussion is a blessing. We just need to figure out how to be more consistent. I am proud of these discussions. God is making us think.

I have also had the wonderful opportunity to conduct the mid-week Bible study for the church for two Wednesdays a month. We are studying Dr. David Jeremiah’s book, Is This The End?. We have some fascinating topics from immigration to ISIS to Apathy to the Rapture. I believe God is opening our eyes to things we have probably not seen before or simply haven’t understood. Anyone can attend and participate.

Finally, I am, for some reason, even in this chaos of life, reminded of Jesus at the Garden of Gethsemane asking the disciples after His prayer, “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” Interesting question, don’t you think?

As always, In Christ
Mr. John

Women’s Ministry News

Hi Ladies!

We are off to a great start! We have planned and held a very successful and much appreciated Baby Shower. We have begun having mini Bible Studies such as “Loving One Another.”

We are currently collecting tooth brushes and toothpaste for our homeless ministry, so please keep bringing them in!

In the future we would like to plan to have a movie night at the church, also a trip to Sight and Sound in Lancaster, PA to see the production, Jonah. We would also like to go on a ladies retreat. We are going to be holding another baby shower at the end of July, possibly the beginning of August. The ladies will also have more mini Bible studies.

We are excited about spending time together, learning more of the Word in our mini Bible studies and ministering to others!

For more information in regards to the Ladies Ministry, please see me.

From the SNL Coffee House Leader

First, we would like to extend our appreciation for your support to the SNL Coffee House over the past 23 years. Your support to providing a place of fellowship and music to the local community has not gone unnoticed. We know the Lord is glorified throughout the evenings as the bands lift their praises to Him and encourages those who pass through the doors.

For those who are interested in donating food to the ministry, the sign-up sheet for our needs will be posted on the bulletin board in the hall. Besides serving through donations, there are many areas of service with this ministry: serving food, cleaning up afterwards to place the church back in order for Sunday, setting up Wednesday night before the event, greeting newcomers throughout the evening, selling coffee house tee shirts, ensuring supplies even in the bathrooms are stocked, and promoting the events through passing out fliers and sharing on Facebook.

Reminder, doors open at 7pm for fellowship. Children, ages 5 through 5th grade have entertainment upstairs beginning at 7:45pm. Childcare is provided from 7:45 to 10pm. Parents must return to pick their child up at 10pm. Help with childcare is always appreciated. Anyone interested must be at least 25 years old and be able to pass a background check. Please contact Julie Drenning if you are interested.

Refreshments are available for all.

The help from the members, families, and friends is much appreciated as we serve the evening together.

Interested in purchasing a Coffee House shirt? You can purchase yours at the next event or send an order to snlcoffeehouse@verizon.net. We have short sleeve ($10) and long sleeve ($15) in gray, black, purple, and orange. Thanks for your support to the ministry by telling others!
