The Book of James: A Red Flag Warning
James 5:1-6

Experience & Encounter

These questions are an invitation to experience your life with God. Use them on your own or in community as you seek to follow Jesus. 

1. How would you describe your attitude toward money?  Where does God fit into that?
2. How can you learn and practice contentment?
3. What are some practical ways that you can use your wealth now to secure yourself a welcome in eternity?

Lenten Prayer Services

From now until Easter, we are meeting on Wednesday nights at 6:00 pm in the Sanctuary for a special hour of prayer.  Each week Pastor Steve is teaching us a new spiritual practice that we are encouraged to repeat until our next gathering. On Wednesday we learned about the importance of both repentance & forgiveness. Each week we also spend time together in prayer, with special attention on one need. We hope to see you at this week’s service on Wednesday, April 2, at 6:00 pm  See the previous week’s teaching from Pastor Steve, plus the handout with Scripture and notes on The Hub on our website.

 

Easter Flowers

Help decorate the church by ordering an Easter flower in memory of or in honor of a loved one. Order online or get a form in the lobbies.  The cost is $10.50; the deadline to order is Monday, April 7.

 

Sneaker Drive

We are invited to contribute to a sneaker drive that will supply shoes to kids at Ben Chambers, Buchanan, Hamilton Heights, and Stevens Elementary Schools.  Deposit any sizes of new and gently used sneakers into the OMM bins in the lobbies.  If they are gently used, please bag them up so that they stay together.  The deadline is Sunday, April 13..

 

Easter Events

We have several events planned to help us remember Christ’s sacrifice. We will hold a service on Maundy Thursday (April 17, 6:00 pm in the Baker Center) to commemorate the Last Supper and share in communion. On Good Friday (April 18, anytime from 12-8 pm),  you are invited to come to the church for the interactive experience, “Way to the Cross.” And on Sunday, April 20, we look forward to an all-out celebration of Christ’s victory over sin and death. Senior Pastor Aaron Perry will be with us to share the message from the Word of God. We hope you will mark your calendars and plan to participate in some of these special Easter events. Visit our Easter page to get all the details.

Student Mission Trip

• Mission Trip to Greece: In June, a team of 22 students and 5 leaders is going to Greece on a 10 day Mission Trip through Praying Pelican and Hellenic Ministries. They expect to spend some time working with refugees, playing with children, and preparing supplies for the homeless and needy.  They will also visit some sites such as the prison where Paul and Silas were jailed, the Acropolis, and Mars Hill.  It is our hope that the Scripture — especially Acts and Philippians — will come alive for our students as they see some real places described in the Bible.  Please be praying as the team prepares for this trip.
• Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser:  Support the team travelling to Greece at the Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser on Saturday, April 12, from 5-7 pm in the Baker Center.  The meal will include spaghetti, sauce, salad, coleslaw, applesauce and a variety of desserts.  You don’t need to sign-up— just come! Take-out will be available and cost is by donation.

 

Missionary Visit

Next Sunday, April 6,  Ben Hayes will be with us from Namikango Mission, one of the three ministries that King Street Church supports through our Malawi Barnabas Team.  Ben is the Executive Director in the United States and we are excited to hear his updates of God’s work in Malawi.  Join us at 9:30 or 11:00 am in the Student Ministry Center.

 

PrimeTimers

We  had a great time at the March Luncheon! Our next activity is on Wednesday, May 14. It will be a mini-bus trip to the Columbia, PA clock museum, followed by a sandwich buffet at Hinkles Restaurant.  From there, we will drive to the Turkey Hill Experience.  The cost is $45.00.  We will depart from Weis Market on Wayne Avenue at 7:45 a.m. (please arrive a little early).  We have limited availability.  Register through April 5 by contacting Frances Humelsine at (717) 263-8633.

 

Prayer 

We believe that God works powerfully through prayer!  There is a table in each of our worship spaces and you’re invited to use it to take or leave a Prayer Card.  You can also submit a request to our online Prayer Wall, or text pray to (717) 401-7777.   You can take a card and pray for each other— either take the card home and pray over the request, or take one at the beginning of the service and return it before leaving.  You can also leave a card; if you have a request or praise that you’d like to share, fill out the card and leave it on the table (you do not have to provide your name.)

 

Reset 

Our healing and recovery ministry still meets on Monday nights in the Student Ministry Center. 6:00 pm: Light meal and community; 6:30 pm:  Large Group (worship, prayer, testimonies, and a brief devotional); 7:00 pm: Support Groups for men and women.  While those who attend the groups may be of different ages, backgrounds, and dealing with different challenges, we have found that a rare closeness has grown around the time of confidential sharing.   See more about Reset HERE.

Chronological Bible Reading Plan

It is important to read the Bible daily, and that is why we offer an annual Bible Reading Plan.  We are excited about revisiting the Chronological Bible Reading Plan for 2025.  Each day’s reading will be supplemented by insightful videos provided by “The Bible Recap.” Some of our staff have used these materials and have found them to be a valuable resource.

If you have never participated in the plan, we encourage you to join the more than 400 people who use these readings as part of their daily devotions.  The plan is offered several ways. Those who are already signed up will be included in the new plan.

• Receive daily EMAILS of that day’s Scripture: Sign up at bible.kingstreetchurch.com
• Receive daily TEXTS to your device: Text keyword “DAILY” to (717) 401-7777
• Use a paper SCHEDULE, available in the lobbies.

 

Weekend Preview Emails

Most weeks, we send out a church email called the Weekend Preview which highlights a key event, ministry, or an element of upcoming worship services.  Often the information shared in this email is not offered elsewhere.  If you would like to receive the Weekend Preview, sign up here or text keyword PREVIEW to (717) 401-7777.
