Today is Souper Bowl of Caring Sunday!! The Souper Bowl of caring began with a simple prayer at Spring Valley Presbyterian Church in SC, ”Lord, as we prepare to enjoy the Super Bowl, let us be mindful of those who do not even have a bowl of soup to eat”. Since then, churches and other places of worship have been inviting parishioners to give a dollar or two each year on Super Bowl Sunday, helping to raise over $60 million in 20 years to give directly to local food pantries and shelters.  Last year our congregation gave over $500.  In the 12 years we’ve been doing this we’ve collected over $6,000. all of which went to the York Food Pantry.  Be watching for members of our Junior High Youth Group!

Sermon - Gone Fishin PDF Print E-mail
Written by Linda Hirst   

January 22, 2012

Scripture: Mark 1:14-20


Many years ago I was doing the children’s message – about Jesus calling his first disciples. And, I was going on and on about Jesus and Peter, Andrew, John and James.  How Jesus walked up to them while they were fishing and said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fishers of people – of men and women.” And I had a fish net - one of those little ones on a long stick and I was trying to demonstrate – or so I thought - how they – the kids - were going to catch people now, instead of fish, and how they were going to be disciples of Jesus and get other people to follow them and started getting complicated, but still I thought I was doing a really good job.  When I finally got to the end I asked “Does anyone have any questions?”   To which my son, my own flesh and blood, Nathan, raised his hand, and said, “I don’t get it.”  At which point, I said, “I don’t either.”  And then I dismissed them all to church school.

Scripture: Second Kings 6:15-17


Background on the text: In Old Testament times, the king of the land of Aram sent an army to capture the prophet Elisha, as Elisha had been foiling the king’s battle plans.


15When an attendant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. His servant said, “Alas, master! What shall we do?” 16Elisha replied, “Do not be afraid, for there are more with us than there are with them.” 17Then Elisha prayed: “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw; the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Sermon - The Wisdom of Rev. Dr. King PDF Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Marlayna Schmidt   
January 15, 2012

I thought that on this Gospel Sunday, it would be most fitting, as a message, to read an excerpt from one of the powerful sermons written by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The sermon I have chosen is from “A Christmas Sermon on Peace,” which he preached on Christmas Eve, 1967, a few months before he died. He is commenting on the passage where Jesus tells us to love our enemies. So, let us start with hearing that Scripture. I’ll be reading from a modern paraphrase, so that we may all hear the old familiar words in a fresh light.
