Grace Community Church (GCC), 212 Peach Bottom Road, Willow Street, will host its annual youth group benefit auction on Friday, April 26, from 6 to 9:30 p.m. A classic barbecue dinner with a variety of sides will be available from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Guests may pay a flat fee to fill a plate with all it can hold. Smaller plates will be available for a reduced fee. The event will offset the cost of the youth group’s trip to attend the Momentum Youth Conference that will be held at Indiana Wesleyan University in July. Student and community ministries pastor Addison Roberts said that the aim for the auction is $20,000 in order to reduce the financial burden on families that are sending students to Momentum. The goal for Momentum is to help students develop and deepen a passion and faith in God and to equip them for evangelism. The conference will have a long-term impact, Roberts asserted.

An auction on April 26 will help to offset the cost of Grace Community Church youth group members’ attendance at Momentum Youth Conference this summer. “I truly believe that a growing Christian is someone who is, among other things, deeply concerned for the world around him or her,” Roberts said. “This means proactively seeking justice and, if you will forgive the cliché, being a good neighbor. Supporting a child who is attending Momentum is an

i n v e s t ment in the long-term health of our communities and those communities where our students will represent Lancaster County in the future. By investing in a student’s faith, you are investing in their future and the future of the community they will inhabit.”

EASTER SERVICES

118 West Willow Road, Willow Street, invites community members to celebrate Easter Sunday, April 21, at the church’s four separate worship services. Pastor Bob Garvey will preach on “Inside the Tomb” during a sunrise service at Boehm’s UMC Chapel, Boehms Road, Willow Street, at 6:30 a.m. This service will be followed by a family breakfast at 7:30 a.m. at Boehm’s.
