Loving God and Neighbor from the Square in Hershey

Beginning Sunday, Feb 22nd, following the 10am worship service, Pastor Jenn will lead a Lenten study in Room 204 for 18-30ish-year-olds as we look at Scripture, faith, and the journey of Lent. This will be a hybrid offering, so those who are working or at school out of the area can connect with their home church. For more information, contact Pastor Jenn.
Our next concert is a lecture – recital entitled “The Historic Harpsichord: Beauty for Ear and Eye” featuring harpsichordist Barry Lockard on Sunday, March 22 at 3 pm. The lecture with media will trace the 700-year history of the harpsichord and will be followed by a concert of solo harpsichord music with selections featuring a vocal ensemble. The concert is open to all and a free-will offering will be received.
Children and youth are invited to an Easter movie night on Sunday, March 22nd from 4-7 pm. In addition to the movie there will be games, an egg hunt, crafts, and dinner.
