Our Community Life

They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers ... And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts ..." (Acts 2:42-47)

    Plunge into Death and Resurrection

    Plunge into Death and Resurrection

    Life is a preparation for death. Palm Sunday is a day of celebration, yet a celebration cast under the shadow of Golgotha. We pick up our palms and join Christ in jubilant procession, but this procession does not end today. It continues with each day of Holy Week. Before we reach Bright and Beautiful Pascha, our road leads us to Golgotha. We die to self before we live in Christ. Holy Week is a microcosm of life’s journey, into the valley of death, and out again in eternity.

Corrie Ten Boom gave this advice, the famous survivor of a Nazi concentration camp. In her experience, busyness was the great crippler of souls. Not only does busyness paralyze our health, it severs our relationship with God and one another. When Christ looked at his people in the valley, he saw that they were lacking
    Push Back Against Culture

    Push Back Against Culture

    “The Amish are not…against modern technology. We have simply chosen not to be controlled by it” (Amishman David Kline). Western Pennsylvania is known for its amish communities. As you drive along the hill country, you see their quaint, white, farm homes, horse and buggies, and men, women, and children at work in antiquated clothes. The amish are an anomaly in America. On the one hand, we all envy them a little. Their simplicity in the bucolic countryside touches a part of eve
