Tuesday Morning Bible Study
Ask any group what it means to be a Christian, and we will hear different answers. But what unifies us? What are the basic characteristics of our faith that every Christian affirms?
Let’s study together this summer, beginning with this six-session series by Francis Chan, as he leads us to explore the key concepts common to all Christians through the centuries.
Tuesday mornings at 10:00am beginning June 17. Room will be determined based on number of participants.
Please sign up at the sign up desk outside of Stringer or speak with Pastor Marleah. .
This study will last for 6 weeks.

July Missions Emphasis
Laurel House is a comprehensive domestic violence agency serving individuals, families, and communities throughout Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Laurel House is dedicated to the vision of ending domestic violence in each life, home, and community. The agency’s name was selected because of the beauty of the laurel, Pennsylvania’s state flower. It represents a victory for people who have taken the courageous first step of reaching out to Laurel House in their efforts to build a violence-free life for themselves and their children.
The Mission of Laurel House is to advocate for and empower those impacted by domestic violence by providing crisis intervention, safe haven, supportive programs, and resources, and to advance social change through preventative education, community training, and collaboration to foster a coordinated response to domestic abuse
The agency’s first program, a domestic violence shelter for abused women and their children, was founded by the Women’s Center of Montgomery County in 1980. Since that time, Laurel House has become a comprehensive domestic violence agency. In addition to emergency shelter, Laurel House offers: a 24-hour hotline, a textline, transitional housing, a children’s program, individual and group counseling, medical advocacy, legal representation and advocacy, crisis response, law enforcement collaboration, as well as community education and prevention efforts.
Their current funding sustains existing operations but, the costs of maintaining the shelter in a building that is over 100 years old increase each year. The building is inadequate to provide protection and services. Laurel House’s current shelter provides a haven for many victims of domestic abuse and their children each year but, Laurel House purchased a building in Lansdale, PA, so that it can relocate its current shelter and expand support services. This new building will be known as the Safe Haven Center. The Safe Haven Center will increase their capacity and accessibility and provide much-needed enhancements in design, security, and amenities. This new, secure, and easily accessible facility will house an emergency shelter, which is the only one in the county, as well as some supportive services for domestic violence victims and their children.
Thank you for continuing to support the important services that Laurel House performs for our community.
