What’s Happening at Prince Street Church
June 7–14, 2026
Summer is here, and ministry is in full swing at Prince Street Church! From student events and Vacation Bible School preparations to opportunities for fellowship, service, and worship, there are many ways to get involved in the life of our church family this week.
Worship This Sunday
Join us this Sunday as Pastor John Shadle continues our sermon series through the book of Ruth with a message from Ruth chapter 2 titled “Providence in the Ordinary.” As we study Ruth’s story, we’ll be reminded that God is often working behind the scenes in the ordinary moments of life to accomplish His extraordinary purposes.
We’re also excited to celebrate a special milestone in the life of our church family. During the service, we will recognize Pastor Michael Gleason as he receives his Provisional License from the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. Please join us in thanking God for His calling and faithfulness and praying for Michael as he continues toward his National Conference License.
Sunday Morning Schedule
- Donuts & Coffee – 9:00 AM
- Sunday School – 9:30 AM
- Worship Service – 10:45 AM
Donuts and Coffee continue to provide a great opportunity to connect with others before Sunday School and worship. We’d love to see you there!
Student Ministries Hersheypark Trip
This Wednesday, June 10, our Student Ministries group will travel to Hersheypark for a day of fellowship, fun, and relationship building. We invite the entire church family to pray for our students and leaders as they spend time together.
The group will depart at 9:30 AM and return around 9:00 PM.
Vacation Bible School Is Coming Soon!
Vacation Bible School is one of our biggest outreach opportunities of the year, and preparations are underway.
Register Children Today
Registration is now open for children, grandchildren, neighbors, and friends. Registering early helps our team prepare supplies and materials so we can provide the best possible experience for every child.
Volunteers Needed
We still need volunteers to help make VBS a success. Whether you enjoy teaching, crafts, games, decorating, hospitality, or behind-the-scenes support, there is a place for you to serve. This is a wonderful opportunity to invest in the next generation.
VBS Decorating Opportunities
There are several upcoming opportunities to help prepare the church for VBS:
- Final Decorating Workshop – June 11, 6:30–8:00 PM
- Church Decorating Day – June 20, beginning at 9:00 AM
- Final Touches – June 22, beginning at 9:00 AM
Many hands make light work, and we’d love your help as we prepare our campus to welcome children and families from our community.
