It was a blessed night of fellowship and devotion. The main event was the reading of 1 Timothy as the early church would have received it. Each reader (one for each of the six chapters) gave us a word or an idea to listen for as the book was read. Afterwards we discussed what we learned and how we can apply it.

Our food theme tonight was “anything that dips,” and there was an amazing variety of favorites shared.

Tonight we enjoyed an evening of fellowship and food at Dave and Donya Lowe’s home. They were gracious hosts and everyone had a wonderful time discussing matters of great and little import, playing chess, looking at pictures, and trying out all the new recipes.

Our ladies held their 4th Annual Fall Ladies Night Out tonight. They came expecting fun, laughter, and a special time of devotion. What they got included all of the above plus near-injurious levels of laughter during the (so-called) silent auction. Don’t you wish you had come?

What better way to end a long week than to roast hotdogs and marshmallows over a campfire, and enjoying the fellowship of church family and friends? The activities that transpired were of great excitement. People played catch with the football, and most of those present joined in a game of kickball. While the youth played freeze tag and manhunt in the field beside the church, the adults congregated around the fire enjoying s’mores.

Some families chose to camp out at the church while others decided to spend the night in the comfort of their own homes. The next morning the campers had a mouth-watering breakfast consisting of sausage patties, pancakes, scrambled eggs, juice, milk, buttery toast and coffee. After the campers packed up, everyone went to a farm in Westmoreland County to shoot targets and shatter clay pigeons. We look forward to the next time we can all get together and make more fond memories.

We love and appreciate Pastor Rick and Betsy. We celebrated another year with a fellowship dinner following the morning service. After everyone was well fed, many of us told them just what they meant to us. Even the shy ones spoke up (a little). Especially heartwarming was to hear new arrivals express how their children loved Hanover, and how the adults appreciated Pastor’s solid and accessible Bible teaching.
