From The Pastor's Desk

Several weeks ago, between Christmas and New Years, the boys and I went to Elizabethtown to spend a couple of days with my Mom. On Sunday of that week, Noah, Joel and I went to hear my friend Jason Good preach. It was handy since his church is only six or seven miles from Mom’s. Jason was licensed while I was at my previous church, (East Cocalico COB) and he had preached at Waynesboro three or four times since I’ve been here. Recently, Jason has finished his schooling and has been hired at his first church (Swatara Hill COB). It was thrilling to watch his journey come to fruition and I’m thankful to God for any part I had in his development. Today is also a special day because Andrew Paterno is preaching his first sermon. Andrew has been attending our church for a year and a half and has been discerning a call to the ministry for the past year. Andrew has begun his third class and is adjusting well to the set apart ministry. He should be brought up for licensing soon, navigating through the virus, the winter, and a busy Easter season may push the vote back a month or so, but Andrew’s licensing vote should come in the first half of 2021. It has been a privilege working with him and it’s my hope and expectation that our congregation takes ownership of Andrew’s introduction to ministry and subsequent education. We look forward to hearing what God’s put into his heart. This Sunday, we should finally have Pew Communion assuming the Communion kits have arrived. As we partake of the sacraments, we can contemplate what they mean and how much Jesus loved us to endure all He went through. May we dedicate 2021 to emulating His love and grace.  –Pastor John
