Are you ready for Soup Season?
Paxton UMC is having a Chicken Corn Soup Sale

The Chicken Corn Soup is made from corn that was bought locally, cut off the cob, and frozen for our soup. Soup will be available in two sizes: Large (approx. quart) for $10.00 and Small (approx. pint) for $5.50. The soup will also be available unfrozen and frozen. You can preorder by filling out the form at the “Order Here” link above. Order forms are also available at the church. Just give us your name, a phone number, and how many of each size, fresh or frozen, you want. Cash or check due at the time of pickup at the church (3550 North Progress Avenue, Harrisburg, PA.) Place your order now to reserve some of this warm and wonderful soup!
Autumn Book Study for Adults
Sundays after worship
Join us as we use the book entitled “The Bible with and without Jesus” to learn how Christian and Jewish people read the same Bible stories from different perspectives.


….And spiritual growth doesn’t happen just on Sundays!
On Wednesdays at 10am, you can find us at the Peachtree Restaurant, 251 North Progress Avenue, for Bible study. We are studying the Minor Prophets of the Old Testament this fall until Advent, using the book “Be Amazed” by Warren W. Wiersbe.
Please join us for Bible Study and Breakfast!

I am no longer my own, but thine.
Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee, exalted for thee or brought low for thee.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it. And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.
– The Wesley Covenant Prayer
