#WednesdayWord Christ is a firm foundation where we can build our lives. Paul is speaking to us as believers that we need to be established in our relationship with Him and continue to grow with Him. As believers, we need walk out our faith daily in prayer, being in His Word, and loving one another. So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. -Colossians 2:6-7, NIV

We have an open need for a dinner meal provider Monday, May 13th in Scranton. We are looking for individuals or groups who are willing to make and pack 40 meals.

#ThankfulThursday “Everything I could possibly want is in this place to make me better. It’s like having a couple of moms and dads here," says Stephen. On the brink of graduation, Stephen is grateful for the Transformation Center that helped him at his lowest. It was seven degrees in February, and he was at the point where he could have committed a crime to find a place to live. Through life skill programming, connections to healthcare, and roof over his head, he is now interviewing for a sustainable job! Thank you for supporting the men at our Transformation Center!

Mark your calendars for June 6th at 7pm! This is a fun way to support your local nonprofit here in NEPA! Can't wait to see the good you do!

#WednesdayWord Peter is calling believers to persevere in this fallen world and keep abiding in Jesus. His grace will sustain us through the varying seasons of life. Grace means receiving what we do not deserve. By His grace, God has forgiven our sins and given us full rights as His children in Christ. We grow under God's grace by growing in our knowledge of Him from reading His word and spending time with Him in prayer. Living under the grace of Jesus provides us a huge opportunity to grow spiritually stronger and deeper. How will you "grow in grace and knowledge" with God today? "Be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." -2 Peter 3:17-18, NIV
