Hagerstown Church of the Brethren
Take a Moment Prayer: Week of April 21
Look for this prayer each week. Take time to pray it each day and know that your church family is saying this prayer too.
Gracious Lord, the new life that I see outside in the gardens and fields, on the trees and in the lush green lawns, leaves me feeling so alive. The vast bright sky bids my spirit to soar high like the clouds in the atmosphere and face the day with a light and positive attitude. You, Holy God, are all I need to make life as delightful as a fresh Spring day. Your loving presence fills me with joy; and comforts me when the threat of personal storms arise. I am very blessed to know you and to be known by you. I praise you, O God...today and everyday. Amen.
The Pastor's Pen - January 2024
We should come away from Christmas reminded that Jesus came into this world so that things could be different. He did not come so that we could have a holiday including time off from work or school, presents, cookies, lots of other food and time with friends and family. The story of Jesus does not end at the stable. Jesus grows up and becomes our teacher and example for how God calls us to live.
Food Pantry (Updated Dec 7, 2022)
The first Sunday of every month is Food Pantry Sunday. Bring in your gift(s) of non-perishable food items, place them on the cart as you enter the west entrance, and a volunteer delivers the food to a local food bank.
We thank everyone for their continued support of this ministry to our community!
Just a reminder - all items should be either dry, boxed, or in cans. Please do not bring in anything in a glass jar that could break and injure a recipient or our volunteers.
Updated Mask Guideline (Updated Aug 29, 2022)
Covid guideline reminders. **We ask that if you know, or suspect, you have been exposed to someone who tested positive for Covid, or if you have a temperature and/or you are feeling unwell, that you remain home and worship with us via Facebook.**
We ask that everyone attending worship please observe social distancing guidelines. You may enter and exit through the West Entrance, and exit only through the Washington Street door. Please do not stop on the outside steps to chat and possibly block those entering and exiting behind you. Also, remember to keep a clear path from the building to the sidewalk ramp as we enter and exit at the west entrance. We need to keep that path clear to make it easier for those who have special needs to access the use of the ramp to their car.
