Are you interested in church planting...and pruning and weeding?  Then join us on Saturday, May 25th as we gather to beautify the church grounds.   We will meet at   8 AM at the church for coffee and donuts, and then spend a few hours cleaning up the beds and planting.  Bring your gloves and any gardening tools you may have.  In addition, if you have any iris tubers that you can donate, that would be great.  Childcare will be provided.  Many hands make light work, so we hope to see you there! 

Attention Moms!  Are you looking for a fun activity for you and your kids this summer?  Every Friday from 9:30-11 AM throughout the summer, a group of us will gather for an informal Bible study and play group here at Providence.  Sign up on the sheet in the narthex if you’re interested in participating.  Our first get-together will be on June 7th, so mark your calendars.  Contact Michelle Mundis or Rebecca Knaebel for more information.   We hope to see you there!

Speaking of summer, plans are already underway for our annual Providence Kidz Kamp which will take place the week of July 29th—August 2nd.  Many hands are needed to run this fun-filled week, so if you are available to serve as a leader or helper, please add your name to the sign-up sheet in the narthex.  Thank you in advance for loving the children who attend!

Ladies you are invited to special evening to hear how God is working through two women’s ministries.  One is New Life for Girls, located here in York County.  The other is located in India.  Barbara A. and her husband Chuck are missionaries supported by PPC, and  Barbara has a microeconomics business in India.  Through this ministry, women have the opportunity to hear of the love of Jesus as they learn to sew various totes and other products.  These beautiful products are sold and the women are able to help support themselves and their families.    Barbara will be here on June 22nd to tell us about the products that the women make.  You will have the opportunity to hear her presentation and purchase the stylish bags.  It is Barbara’s   desire that some of the profit also be used to support a local women’s Christian ministry in York, so we have invited women from New Life for Girls to come and give testimony and sing songs.  We will hear how God is using this ministry to change the hearts of women. Some of the profit from the sales of the totes will benefit this ministry at New Life.  Please join us for this special time on June 22nd at 6:00 pm. 

A men’s breakfast and Bible study will be held the third Saturday of each month from 7:00-8:30 AM at New Life Presbyterian Church, starting on May 18th.  This breakfast will be a “covered dish” style event, and is for married and single men, and fathers and sons, 11 years or older.  Each week the group will examine a chapter of the book, Biblical Manhood, by Stewart Scott.  Contact Rob Rothermel at 717-495-9984 or at 428-1680 for more details.
