1. Fall Fest 2011 – “Name That Bible Story”

On Friday, October 28, from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. RAIN OR SHINE Pequea Church will premiere its newest game show “Name That Bible Story.” Wink Nightingale hosts the show in which you have to guess the Bible story based on the wacky antics of our two lovely hostesses, Eileen Right and Ima Prettyone. Join in as our three puppet contestants, Charlie, Buffalo Billski and Captain Anxiety, vie for fabulous prizes! But the contestants don’t just compete against each other; they also play against the audience. You’ll take part in our game, become part of the story, sing songs and have a great time. So come test your knowledge, interact with our show and see if you can “Name That Bible Story!” At the conclusion of the game our Pequea Puppets will sing the entire story of the Bible in one song! Can they do it? Come and find out!

Following the show families can enjoy some fun free activities; we’ll have several inflatables, including a giant slide, obstacle courses and more. Try our famous box maze, snaking its way through the gym. You’ll find games of skill, a hay ride, barrel train, face painting, food, a bake sale, and of course, bags of candy for all the kids (age 10 and under).

CORE COMMUNITY-
Beginning Wednesday, October 5, from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. in the Welcome Center, Pastor Jeremy Tuel will facilitate “Core Community” for adults. Every person has a core, a sense of self, an identity. What drives us as Christ followers? What makes this group of people different? And how do we work out our faith together in the real world?

Core Community is the place for you to examine these issues. Our fall-winter session includes 10 meetings titled “Living Simply in a Chaotic World.” We will spend two weeks each on five topics:

1. Living Simply
2. Being Connected
3. Encountering God
4. Making Peace
5. Following Jesus

Each week will include a time for fellowship, worship, teaching, sharing and prayer.

XTREME YOUTH-
Join teenagers  from our community each week for worship, wacky games, lessons in teen life and time with friends (in the café and the gym). Senior High (Grades 9-12) meets from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. every Wednesday. Junior High (Grades 6-8) meets from 6:30 – 7:45 p.m. every Thursday.

KIDZKNEXION-
Starting Wednesday, October 5, from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. Pequea Church will launch “KidzKnexion” offering programming for kids infant – Grade 5. We will offer character-building Bible stories and activities for our age 3-5 kids, and a new structure for Kindergarten – Grade 5.

K-Grade 5 programming will feature new ways to learn about Jesus and living for God. We will offer challenges and rewards for memorizing Bible verses. KidzKnexion will have creative giving projects to help the local community. Each week will also feature SNACKS!

NEW LABS- (for grades 3 through 5 running October through December 2011)

• Knot Tying
  Imagine making a knot that keeps your food away from bears, or tying off a ship at a dock or securing your tent for a blustery night. You’ll be able to do all of this and more when you come to our Knot Tying course!
• Scrapbooking
  Make a book about your life! Your photos and memories will be displayed for years to come after completing this lab.
• Painting
  No paint-by-numbers in this class. Create your own masterpieces and take them home to display on the fridge, mantle or your bedroom door!

Inglorious Pastors

Waging Peace in a World of War

In the sixteenth century a renegade group of Christian leaders rebelled against their own religion. These dissenters called for the church to separate from the state and to reject all forms of violence. They waged their war with weapons of peace, and many died for their radical cause of calling Christians back to the way of Christ. Known as “Anabaptists”, they dared to think that Jesus should be taken seriously when he taught his followers to turn the other cheek, love their enemies, and do good to those who hate them. Join us as we learn practical lessons for how we live today – lessons from the teachings of Jesus, embodied in the lives of these Inglorious Pastors.

Inglorius Pastors was created by The Meeting House, a Brethren in Christ Church in Canada.

Due to the threat of rain we have decided to move our baptism meal to the Church. Please plan to arrive at 5:00 p.m. for a meal in the church gym. Following the meal we will make a decision whether or not to travel to the pool for the baptism or hold the baptism in the church gym.

On Sunday August 21, 2011 from 5:00 – 9:00 Pequea Church will hold an outdoor baptism and picnic at the Conestoga Pool. This free event begins at 5:00 p.m. with a Picnic, swimming and fellowship. The hospitality committee will provide BBQ sandwiches, beverages, plates, cups, silverware and napkins. Each family attending the picnic is asked to bring (1) family-size side dish AND (1) family size dessert to share. At 7:00 p.m. we will baptize in the pool. If you have not been baptized and are ready to take this next step as a believer, please fill out this form by clicking here.

If your child is interested in baptism you should consider having them attend an informational class with Pastor Dawn on Sunday, August 7, at 9:00 a.m. in Room 140. If you have any additional questions check out our baptism page, email contact@pequeachurch.com or call 717.872.5679.

Years ago, hundreds of Brethren in Christ from the entire region would come to Pequea Church for the Love Feast event. They would worship together over an entire weekend! The Pequea Church Love Feast held on Palm Sunday honors this tradition and brings it into our worship environment for today. At 5:30 p.m. on Sunday April 17, enjoy a hearty roast beef dinner, followed by optional footwashing, a communion service, and heartfelt worship. The Love Feast ends with an open Faith Story sharing time. Attendees can hear and contribute stories of what God is doing among us. This event is still one of the most meaningful worship services of the year. The evening will conclude around 8:00 p.m.
