VISITORS & TRAVEL GUIDE
🍁 Blessed to Share $40,000+ of Community Support 🙏
Thanks to everyone who joined us today for the Community Thanksgiving Worship Service at St. Marys Redbank Church. Special thanks go to guest Pastor Cub Jones for delivering his message “A Different Kind of Power” from Colossians 1:15 to 23, reminding us that Christ restores, leads through service, and holds all things together. ✝️
We also celebrated a major blessing. St. Marys Redbank Church will be providing over $40,000 of meat & freezers to support local families in need during the holiday season, especially with the recent government shutdown and loss of SNAP benefits affecting many households. These resources will be distributed in early December throughout northern Armstrong County and southern Clarion County. More details coming soon. 🙏
Special Thanks: We offer thanks to everyone who helped make today’s service possible, including Pastor Cub Jones, Vicki Kunselman and Janet for the beautiful decorations & flowers, Mary Ellen Wilson for her support, Thomas & Adele Smith for uplifting music, Charles Boozer of Hoss’s Little Outhouses, and Sabrina Mohney for keeping the church clean & welcoming.
⸻
🎄 Next Community Worship Service: Join us for our Christmas Candlelight Service on Sat., Dec. 20 at 1 PM w/ Rev. Dr. Gordon Barrows, and we warmly invite everyone to attend this beautiful celebration of Christ’s birth.
