600 Worship Together at Pentecost

Five years ago the six New Castle churches (Firs, Clen-Moore, Third, Highland, Northminster, and Shenango) were (in different ways) concerned about their future.  On Sunday, they gathered for a rousing Pentecost morning worship at George Washington School in New Castle.  Nathan Loudon was the preacher and many others (choir, ushers, musicians, etc.) led a high-energy worship in which Presbyterians in New Castle were clearly praising God for their fellowship together.  The Holy Spirit was clearly present!

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee is nearing completion of its work preparing a slate for nominees for the new classes on Presbytery committees (to be elected June 25 to begin service July 1).  Recommendations for individuals to serve should be sent tooffice@shenango.org by June 11.
