We need YOU to be part of our Prayer Crew!
Our Stellar Vacation Bible Camp is quickly approaching!
We are a church of prayer and therefore, we ask that you pray for our coordinators, station directors, crew leaders, and campers.  
Please be on the lookout for our campers names, displayed in the Welcome Center, and "adopt an astronaut" to pray for!
Copies of the VBC prayer calendar are also available in the  Welcome Center.
Thank you in advance for all your prayers,

Community Events / Outreach Ministry
May 2023 Outreach Ministry –
Adult & Teen Challenge of Pennsylvania


Pennsylvania Adult and Teen Challenge - Their core mission is restoring wholeness to men and women along with hope to families and communities impacted by substance abuse. Their comprehensive program of care focuses on the medical, psychological, physical and spiritual aspects of each person’s recovery in residential and outpatient centers. We can journey with PAATC as this ministry seeks to bring wholeness to the hopeless.

Pennsylvania Adult and Teen Challenge is most appreciative of the support it receives from Saint Paul's Church. 
 There are several ways to give to this very important ministry:
  • Mail or drop off the special envelope from your packets or a plain envelope with "PAATC" written on it at the church,
  • Write "PAATC" on the memo line of your check,
  • Select "Adult and Teen Challenge - May Outreach" as the fund on our online giving form,
  • Text the amount with "PAATC" to 717-689-4294 (ie: 20 PAATC).
Thank you in advance for your ongoing generosity!

United Methodist Camperships


Camping registrations have begun! Saint Paul's is again sponsoring children so they can enjoy a camping experience at any of our United Methodist camps. Most of our campers go to Gretna Glen since it is nearby. We will pay one-half of the Tier 1 cost to attend one summer camping experience per child. Here's all you need to do: 1. Register the child on-line through the camp's website (e.g, gretnaglen.org) noting "Etown Saint Paul's" as the church approving an impending payment. 2. Go to St. Paul's website: click here and click on the "Camperships" button on the home page to complete a form with your basic contact information, the camp attending, child’s name, event id (GA##, GC##, GL##, etc.) and the Tier 1 cost for the camp. This will activate the process of our campership payment. ALL CHILDREN, not just St. Paul’s children, are invited to participate! Be sure to invite your friends and neighbors to join your child at camp this summer!
 
Printed brochures for Gretna Glen's 2023 camping season are now available in the church office.
