Crown Concert

Assad has been described by the LA Times as “a dazzling vocal soloist and all-round musician.” TRP (The Reese Project), a modern-day ensemble with an eclectic repertoire of original Jazz, Funk, Rock, Blues, Classical, and World music, will be performing with Assad. Admission to the concert is a free-will offering.
A New Vision Workshop
Does your friend ask for large-print bulletins on Sunday mornings? Do they hesitate when walking in unfamiliar environments, or when coming inside on a bright sunny day? Have you noticed that they have stopped participating in their favorite activities like reading and sewing, or going out to restaurants?
If you have noticed some of these things with a friend or relative, or perhaps yourself, then you should join Parish Life in the Parlor on May 20th (from 2-3 pm) to learn how a local agency, VisionCorps, may be able to help. Light Refreshments will be provided.
VisionCorps provides rehabilitative and educational services to individuals of all ages who are vision impaired living in Lancaster, Lebanon, and Chester Counties. Services include Social Services, Occupational Therapy, and Orientation and Mobility. VisionCorps can also connect individuals to additional resources, such as a Low Vision Specialist.
If you need transportation to this event, please contact the church office at (717) 392-5718.
Installation Service
