We celebrated this Palm Sunday with baptisms of three young ladies who love God a lot. From left, Makendra Pendleton, Joella Pendleton, and Miley Delval professed their faith and observed their first communion as they stood together in the holy baptismal waters. We offer them our unfaltering support as they take these first steps on a journey of faith that will mold them and inspire them their entire lives.

A delegation representing First Christian Church (DOC) of Charleroi joined a busy work crew at Camp Laurelview on Tuesday, March 12th. Richard D'Antonio, Ron Bird, Joe McCurdy, and Hannah McCurdy helped unload and set up new beds and furniture that were delivered for the Boys' and Girls' Cabins and the Director's Cabin. Over $33,000 (including matching funds) was raised over the past few months to finance the much-needed project!

This morning, we rejoice & celebrate the Baby Dedication of Georgia Lorraine; daughter of Mike & Kristy Guappone. We love this sweet family, and...

Welcome, baby Georgia! We sing praise for new life and growing families. This precious gift, has given us even more – the chance to love and be loved, to taste and see how the Lord loves, and to offer such love in return. Baby Georgia is a glimpse of the love God has for us. All consuming. Never-ending. Unconditional. Lavished upon. And we are celebrated. Sung over. Rejoiced in. Adored.

God calls us to this place of sanctuary where we can draw from love’s deep wells. Jesus calls us to this time where we can welcome the peace given to us. The Spirit calls us to see those around us as God’s beloved, our sisters and brothers of grace.
