Veterans Day is a time for us to honor and reflect on the courage, dedication and sacrifice of the men and women who have served our country. To each of our veterans, THANK YOU for your service!

Check-in with us! Text HELLO or HOLA to (717) 482-5994.

We will participate in Communion as a church family today during both services. For those of you joining us online, please collect your Communion elements, such as juice and a cracker.     

CLA has a group for veterans called Out of the Trenches that meets in person every Wednesday at 6:00 PM. This group provides veterans with a Christ-centered sense of community, hope and purpose. All veterans are welcome! Learn more.

While our veterans serve in various ways, we wanted to share a unique volunteer opportunity with CLA's Security Team. We believe that veterans would be excellent candidates for this role because of their training and key qualities like discipline, working well on a team and ability to operate well under pressure, among many others. For more information or to express interest, contact Gary at gfrutiger@clacamphill.com.

Through the Toy Share Experience, every year we are blessed to serve hundreds of families who are experiencing difficult times. Our goal this year is to provide a fun experience for the whole family on Saturday, December 7 and Tuesday, December 10. In addition to providing free toys and a bag of food, we have added a 30-minute program with a Gospel message and a Christmas Carnival for families.

There are lots of opportunities to serve in person, you may give financially, or purchase new scooters or athletic equipment. If you took a food bag to fill, return it any Sunday in November to the East or West entrance. To learn more, check out our Toy Share page or stop by the Toy Share booth in the Lobby.

Christmas Wonderland, our Broadway-style dramatic musical for the whole family, will take place December 6-15. Tickets are now on sale and nearly sold out. This production offers a great opportunity to share the message of Jesus’ love with family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Visit claproductions.com to learn more.

If you are interested in serving behind-the-scenes with Christmas Wonderland, we have various opportunities available. In particular, we are looking for people to volunteer with hospitality during our productions or with stage set teardown December 15, 16 or 17 at 6:00 PM. You may stop by either Welcome Center to sign up to serve, or complete our simple online form.
