Harvest Presbyterian Church is rejoicing in God’s blessing of children. They have several families with children and four expectant mothers! Pastor Keller began a Covenant Nurture Fellowship Group to encourage the covenant nurture of these little ones. Others outside the church have expressed an interest in attending. Pray for the Lord’s blessing on this fellowship. The congregation is planning to do park evangelism, giving out invitations to church and a Christianity Explored Bible study.

Pastor Jay Bennett is encouraged to see many college students making their way to Neon Reformed Presbyterian Church.  The church currently has four college students preparing to go through the new member class in the interest of joining later this fall. One of these students works as a counselor at a local women’s substance abuse rehab facility. She invited Pastor Bennett to conduct a weekly Bible study with the ladies. He’s been doing that for several weeks now and has been well received. Please pray for continued fruit from this ministry.

Evangelist Nick Lammé shares the following: “We have been quite busy the last few months with a number of referrals. Of particular note is a woman named Kathy. Her husband passed away in January and the city is tearing her house down next week. We organized to help move her belongings into a storage unit and will continue to work with her family during this time. This is a wide-open door that the Lord has made for us. Please pray for Kathy, her son Jarvis and his fiancé Cameron. We also recently hosted another open house in the Memorial Hills neighborhood (Spring, TX). This time we invited the neighborhood out for a taco bar and a time of reflection on grief and loss, with an emphasis on grieving as a community. The Rev. Carl Miller

The Presbytery of Central PA is currently supporting two mission works: Covenant OPC in Chambersburg and Grace and Truth in Mifflintown. Chris Walmer, the part-time regional home missions coordinator, shares that Covenant continues to seek new contacts through a regular door-hanger program. In the fall, Covenant is planning occasional evangelistic Sunday evening services. Pastor Josh McKamy will preach about how the Bible speaks to various issues affecting the lives of people in the community. Pastor Ron Beabout and the congregation at Grace and Truth have also been hard at work making new contacts in the community. On May 18, the church sponsored a stand at the local Spring Festival.

Pastor Chris Hartshorn writes, “As we transition at Anaheim Hills Presbyterian Church from being a mission work to a new and separate congregation of the OPC on June 9, we want to say thank you and let you all know how much we appreciate the prayers of the saints from around the country and around the world. We know that the prayers of the righteous do, in fact, avail much!

We are blessed to have gifted and capable men that God has raised up about to be ordained and installed to serve as elders and deacons, and still many other believers that are eager to serve God and one another. Please do
