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
