Change of Pace

Yesterday’s schedule included a trip to Christ Church, York Springs for the annual service there. The Rev. Kate Kelderman, Rector of Prince of Peace, Gettysburg, officiated. It was a small, simple service of Evening Prayer – held in a space that is beautifully plain.

This building once housed the congregation that started both St. John the Baptist, York, and St. John's, Carlisle. While it is used only occasionally, it is a wonderful reminder of a portion of our heritage which we often overlook.

Thank you for coming to the service and your report on it. Although it wasn't our turn this year, we of Prince of Peace were pleased to do the service. Hopefully, St John, Carlisle and St John the Baptist, York will be able to help us fill the pews in making a joyful noise to the Lord at next year's pilgrimage.
