Home Fellowships/Small Groups
Home Fellowships and Small Groups are ministries that are open to anyone regardless of their faith commitment or membership status in the church. The atmosphere of both is warm and non-threatening and is an ideal place to connect both for newcomers, and those seeking to better understand the Christian faith. They provide an environment where Christ ministers to and through us, where relationships are nurtured, and where people care and look to the concerns of others.
Home fellowships meet in various homes in York County while small group meet at our church. Visit the groups to find one that you can call home! Meeting dates, times, and locations are listed each week in the bulletin and can be found on the Weekly Schedule page.
You can also call the church office, 717-767-4772, to be put in contact with one of the group leaders for more information.
BULLETIN FOLDERS Small Group
A fun group of people meet every Friday morning at 9am in room 1 here at Providence. The time is started together in service to Providence by folding and stapling the Sunday morning bulletins and is followed by refreshments and a Bible study. Most important is the time spent building relationships through sharing personal stories and prayer. They would love to see their numbers grow! Contact Larry Hughes or the church office for more information.
EAST YORK Home Fellowship
The first and third Tuesdays of the month at 7pm Sept. - May, is the schedule for this group which starts with a short time of conversation and snacks, followed by the study. A time of prayer, followed by a time of fellowship closes out our evening.
While the group started with people from the East York area, we are now from all areas of York county and even Lancaster county. Therefore, geographic location does not define us and we would love to encourage anyone who is interested in attending. Contact Sue Palmer for more info.
The Avenues Home Fellowship
The Avenues home fellowship meets at the home of Warren and Jami Bailey. It is open to all ages and includes childcare. We meet the first and third Tuesdays of the month at 6:30pm and would love to have more people involved! Please contact Warren if you are interested.
Men’s Breakfast Small Group
The men’s breakfast is a long-standing ministry that brings men together for breakfast, wonderful fellowship, studying God’s word and prayer. This group of men meet every other Thursday from 6:30-7:30 am at Round the Clock Diner on Rte 30. We would love to have more men come even if only occasionally! Click HERE for the upcoming date.
Providence Seniors Small Group
Providence Seniors is a fellowship group that meets at Providence the third Friday of the month at 12 noon. Usually they fellowship over a potluck lunch, review and update prayer concerns from the recent Sunday bulletin, and develop a prayer handout for use at home for daily devotions and prayer. After the meal and prayer there is an activity that may include a speaker, Bible lesson, or some Bible-centered age-appropriate game.
While there are no age boundaries to the group, the interest focus is geared to more mature folks. Please plan on attending!
SAGINAW Home FELLOWSHIP
Saginaw Fellowship meets once a month on a Friday night, at the home of Doug and Nancy Dickey. We gather in the evening at 6:30pm, to share a light supper followed by the teaching of that month’s lesson. The lesson is discussed to seek, and to gain wisdom and understanding of God’s word and its application for us today. We have a time of prayer at the end of the study. Our next focus of study will be the Toward Christian Maturity series.
Sleepy Hollow Home Fellowship
This fellowship meets the second Friday of the month at the home of Jay and Kathy Hassinger. People bring food to share, creating a meal to enjoy together, and a wonderful time of fellowship. A Bible study follows the meal along with conversation and then prayer, lifting each other up and getting to know the group better. Please come if you are looking for a small group to attend.
Salt & Light Young Adult Fellowship
This group is a landing place for those navigating the post-college years, whether single or married, as we balance faith with the demands of work and life. Our mission is to be a distinct presence in our workplaces and homes.
Meeting the first and third Friday of each month at 6 pm, alternating between the church and various homes for study, snacks, and shared meals, from sushi nights and watching live hockey games to competitive game nights, the fellowship is just as rich as the study.
