Hello Pastors and Church Leaders,

I’m sure many of you are in the midst of summer activities and programs. Although COVID changed many of our plans over the past year it’s encouraging to see some annual events like missions trips, youth camps, and VBS programs slowly coming back. Our world needs to hear the gospel of Christ Jesus during these tumultuous times. 

We have a few briefing items for you all:

1. PA Governor’s Emergency Order Ends: Even though Churches and Houses of Worship have been consistently exempt from the Governor’s Emergency Order, we did want you to be informed that the Emergency Order has come to an end through the recent Constitutional Amendment vote and the subsequent legislative vote earlier in the month. This means that gathering restrictions and other executive restrictions have now been lifted. 

Regular Borough Council Meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday each month at 7:15PM (unless otherwise posted, due to Holidays).

Take Trip Back in Time

Hello Folks, Aunt Eunice here. I hope you are all doing well and are getting ready for summer. To some people, that means getting the blades on the lawn mower sharpened or hosing off the lawn furniture or getting more propane tanks for the grill. For Quiet Valley, it means gearing up for our summer tour season. On the third Saturday in June, we open our gates to the public for tours of the historic farm. It’s a chance to spend some time in the 19th century. Since we will be portraying family members living in the 1800s on our small family farm, we will ask you to use your imagination and pretend you have traveled back in time. No cars. No computers or cell phones. Just traditional chores and heritage crafts being done, animals being cared for as well as the growing and harvesting of crops. Quiet Valley is a small working farm as well as a living history museum.

How strangely sad it is that some, knowing so much, practise so little. I am afraid that some of you know the gospel so well that for this very reason it has lost much of its power with you, for it is as well-known as a thrice-told tale. If you heard it for the first time, its very novelty would strike you, but such interest you cannot now feel. It is said of Whitefield’s preaching that one reason for its great success was that he preached the gospel to people who had never heard it before. The gospel was to the masses of England in Whitefield’s day very much a new thing. The gospel had been either expunged from the church of England and from Dissenters’ pulpits, or, where it remained, it was with the few within the church and was unknown to the masses outside. The simple gospel of ‘believe and live’ was so great a novelty, that when Whitefield stood up in the fields to preach to his tens of thousands, they heard the gospel as if it were a new revelation fresh from the skies.

Some of the worst of tyrants have delighted to call themselves kings by divine right, emperors by the will of God, monarchs by the grace of God, and the like. It may be so; I doubt not that many of earth’s tyrants require much grace, lest their crimes should bring them to speedy ruin; and doubtless it is sometimes the will of God to inflict great scourges upon guilty nations; but, my brethren, Jesus Christ is no despotic claimant of divine right, but he is really and truly the Lord’s Anointed! ‘For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell’. God has given to him all power and authority. As the Son of man, he is now head over all things to his church, and he reigns over heaven, earth and hell with the keys of life and death at his girdle; ‘and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.’ We recognise him as King by divine right.
