Many thanks to those who have offered financial gifts to support relief efforts in Ukraine. As a church, we are joining the North District’s effort to partner with Transfiguration Ukrainian Catholic Church in Shamokin to provide protective gear — primarily helmets and vests — to civilians in Ukraine. These gifts can help people more safely venture out to find food or medicine in the midst of continued fighting. Your gifts will make an incredible difference.

Catching Up with Pastor Candy
This week, it was my privilege to join with our own Pastor Steph Cramer and Epworth UMC’s Pastor Nina Patton-Semerod for a sacred Lenten tradition: gathering last year’s palm leaves, burning the palms to ash, mixing the ashes with oil, and offering the mark ashes to the gathered faithful.
It’s such an important part of the ritual of Lent, and I’m so grateful to share these moments with such wonderful colleagues in ministry.
