​Gather your children to learn about how "Jesus is forever!"

May your hearts be encouraged as you pray, praise and hear the Word of God! Blessings to you!

UPDATE: Wednesday, March 25, 2020
The Leadership Team decided to forego its meeting tonight and stay the course of suspending our service again this Sunday, March 29. The Team will meet again next Wednesday, April 1, to decide future scheduling.

UPDATE: Monday, March 23, 2020
The Leadership Team will be meeting this Wednesday evening, March 25, for further determination of the Brandts Church calendar. Please check back with us on Thursday, March 26, for any updates. In the meantime, please continue to pray collectively at 5:30 pm each day and to memorize our verses: Isaiah 26:3-4 and John 16:33. If you need to contact us, please don't hesitate to call or email!


Update:  Wednesday, March 18, 2020
 After significant prayer and discussion, the Leadership Team has made the difficult decision to suspend our in-person worship services on Sunday, March 22 and Sunday, March 29. This includes Sunday school classes and all programs and practices for adults and youth.
 
A teaching video by Pastor Roger will be posted each Saturday, and we encourage you to join us by following the link below or by choosing the "Sermons & Lessons" tab.

We want to respect and abide by the CDC’s national recommendation restricting gatherings, and so there will be no Wednesday night meetings or practices held on Wednesday, March 25. The men’s breakfast planned for this Saturday, March 22, is cancelled along with the Route 416 Clean Up scheduled for Saturday, March 28.
 
These are challenging times, but as we make wise choices and employ good practices, we also find our peace and comfort in the promises of Scripture. Our Easter series will include Isaiah 53 as a focal point, and so we are suggesting that at 5:30 PM each day, we take a few moments to pray “together”.
 
Here are some items for us to include in our daily prayers:
            Thank God for His presence with us in the midst of trouble. (Ps 46:1)
            Pray for the recovery of those who are ill, for the health of their caregivers
            Pray for hearts and minds to be open to hear God’s voice in the midst of confusion and crisis
            Pray for calmness and concern for one another to prevail throughout our communities
 
We are also encouraging our body of believers to memorize the following two verses. We will recite them together when we are able to worship together in person once again.
 
Isaiah 26:3-4 “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD forever, for in GOD, the LORD, is everlasting strength.”
 
John 16:33 “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

We are still here for you! Please do not hesitate to call the office at 717-369-2652 or email us at brandtschurch@embarqmail.com. Please take heart and be encouraged that God remains on His throne and that we rest in His everlasting arms.

May God bless you richly!
