Corona OPC is thankful for an increase of visitors in recent weeks. Since many of these visitors come with previous church experiences, Pastor Andrew Canavan asks that you pray for wisdom and clarity for the congregation as they answer questions and share what it means to be a Reformed and Presbyterian church. Corona recently welcomed a covenant child into full communicant membership. This was a day of rejoicing for the family and for the whole church as they saw such a clear example of God’s faithfulness to his covenant promises. The monthly men’s breakfasts have grown into a rich time of fellowship and discussion. They are currently working through Tim Keller’s Making Sense of God, and the apologetics focus of this book has led to great

Resurrection OPC is getting more outside requests for diaconal help which is leading to more opportunities to share Christ. Pastor Bob Holda reports that there is one particular family that has attended worship once and seems genuinely interested in learning more about the church and Christianity. Since there are no deacons at Resurrection, Pastor Holda and one of the elders have been working with this family as well as fielding the other requests. They would appreciate your prayers for wisdom and discernment in this mercy ministry. One of the bigger things going on in the life of the church is preparations for a new Sunday school program this spring. Pray for qualified teachers to volunteer, wisdom about curriculum, and for the coming

  The Presbytery of Central Pennsylvania (PCPA) continues to see new churches established within its bounds. Elder Chris Walmer serves the PCPA as its part-time regional home missions coordinator. He is assisting the presbytery’s evangelist, Ron Beabout, at Grace and Truth OPC in Mifflintown. During 2020 Grace and Truth plans to reach out to the nearby and larger community of Lewistown. The congregation is praying that the Lord will lead five new families to worship with them during the year. The PCPA’s second mission work is Covenant OPC in Chambersburg. Covenant is currently enduring a trying time as the young daughter (Zoey) of its pastor Josh McKamy is in a battle with cancer. Please pray for Zoey, Josh, Kristen and their

Pastor Ryan Cavanaugh writes, “Looking back at all that Jesus has done at Mission Church in 2019 is overwhelming. In his mercy, we were able to bring 17 people into membership and baptize 3 covenant children and a new believer. Looking forward to this year, we have 2 families totaling 11 people who are now seeking membership! We have formed a hospitality committee to welcome our guests and help grow our congregation together in love. Also, we pray this will help our outreach committee as we seek to make greater connections in our community this year. We are currently planning for Easter, as well as for the County Fair in August. We are also planning to host a Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class this year. Please pray that our

On the last Lord’s Day of January, Yuma OPC had their annual “State of the Mission Work” meeting, and the state of the work is strong! Pastor Jeremy Baker reflects, “It is hard to believe that we have already been meeting for worship on a weekly basis for over 4 1/2 years! My family and I love serving in Yuma and feel blessed to be a part of what the Lord is doing here.” Since last summer, two families have joined (both military), one family comes regularly (military), and another family (year round) will likely join soon. The work will also have the joy of welcoming three covenant children in the next month or so. In addition to growing in number, Yuma is growing in love for the Lord and for each other. Even Yuma’s visitors have commented
