HYP and Pine Street Have Teamed Up

Pine Street has partnered with the Harrisburg Young Professionals on a new project. From now until April 2nd, we will support Mission Central’s drive to collect wintertime necessities for our homeless neighbors.

You may choose to assemble an entire kit, donate a few items, or contribute money to the cause. Mission Central will assemble donated items into complete kits, and financial contributions will be used to purchase additional items.

For a complete list of requested items, please visit https://b1af31e568.nxcli.io/warm-hearts/, and, for additional information such as how to make a financial contribution, please call Alicelyn at 717-514-1201 or Stephanie at 717-919-2149.

Stay tuned for more details.

February 28; March 7, 14, 21 – The Sermon on the Mount
New Testament scholar, Dr. Meg Ramey, will lead us in this study of “The Sermon on the Mount” in Matthew 5-7, the most famous of all of Jesus’ speeches. In three chapters, Jesus teaches us how to live in God’s kingdom, a realm that requires practicing a “greater righteousness” of loving kindness towards God and our neighbors. Join us for this five-week study as we meditate on what’s been called the “Torah of Jesus” and discuss how we may apply it in our worship and communal lives today.

Experience Prayer In Lent

Lent is a wonderful season to focus on prayer and the renewal of our spiritual lives. Beginning on Wednesday, March 3, at 7:00 p.m., we begin a series of four classes specifically focusing on prayer, the Celtic tradition, and the labyrinth as a tool for prayer and meditation. Our teacher is the Rev. Dr. Kay Mutert, a United Methodist minister and a master teacher with Veriditas (www.veriditas.org), a ministry “dedicated to inspiring personal and planetary change and renewal through the labyrinth experience.” The link and more information will be sent to the church on this coming Monday. Mark your calendars for Wednesdays, March 3, 10, 17, and 24.
