"This story is recorded in the Acts of Eusebius:

'When the proconsul was present in Pergamum, Carpus and Papylus, joyful martyrs of Christ, were brought to him. The proconsul sat down and asked, 'What is your name?' The one who was questioned answered, 'My first and chosen name is Christian. But if you are asking for my name in the world, then I call myself Carpus. It is impossible for me to offer sacrifices to these delusive phantoms, these demons, for they who sacrifice to them become like them. The living do not sacrifice to the dead.'"

Firsts @ First for July 2026:

Mark your calendars now for Firsts @ First for July 2026 on Wednesday, July 1, at 6:00 pm! Firsts @ First events include a light meal, a fun activity, and close out with an inspirational message.

On Wednesday, July 1, Pastor Nathan will not be able to be present at Firsts @ First but one of the church members has stepped up to plan and deliver the message that evening!

Firsts @ First events are held at First Presbyterian Church, Alexandria, PA, on the first Wednesday of each month in the spring, summer, and fall. They are fun evenings where ALL are welcomed! These events are especially designed for folks who either are looking for a church or for those for whom it has been a while since they have been to church and are looking to attend again, for them to get to know members and learn about the church outside of the formality of a Sunday morning worship service.

If the above description fits you, then we'd love to see you on Wednesday, July 1, at 6:00 pm for the next Firsts @ First event! ~NMK

A Prayer for June 16:

"Our Father

Lord, help us stand up to both to the demons that hide behind ungodly laws, and the false religion that props up injustice. Make us into a people who shine out your love so that the world might know another way is possible. Amen."

A Thought for June 11:

Holocaust victim Anne Frank, born on June 12, 1929, wrote, "I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness. I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too. I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right. In the meantime, I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out."

🚨IMPORTANT FUNDRAISER STATEMENT from owner Sheldon Port🚨
This coming Wednesday, the Domino's in Huntingdon will be holding a fundraiser day in memory of Abbi Henney. Abbi passed away from a tragic motorcycle accident just 2 weeks ago. A percentage of ALL sales from Wednesday will be donated to the Abbi's family.
Those of you that are familiar with the Domino's in Huntingdon know that over the years we have done 100s of fundraisers and donated tens of thousands of dollars to people and organizations in need. Every single person or family we have helped has had a story behind them. Some people and groups I knew their story, and some I didn't.
I would be remised to not tell the story about Abbi Henney and her family.
26 years ago, I took my first delivery at Domino's Pizza. Who took me on that delivery and trained me? Abbi's dad, Greg Henney. Greg would go on to manage the Huntingdon Domino's and help put a foundation in place to make the store what it is today.
9 years after that first delivery I bought the Huntingdon store. Who was the assistant manager on duty the 1st day I stepped back into the store? Abbi's uncle, Phil Henney.
I would spend Saturdays at the Henney's house watching football. Abbi's Mom, Erika and I bantering back and forth about football while Abbi is going into 1st grade. She has been the sweetest girl her entire life. The attached picture is 7-year-old Abbi, with hammer in hand helping us knock down the walls of the old Domino's when we remodeled in 2012.
This entire family has been crucial to the success of the Huntingdon Domino's. Without them I dont know if the store makes it past 2007 and allows me to be in the position, I am today, doing fundraisers and helping others in need.
So, Im asking everyone to make this a great day in memory of Abbi and for her amazing family.
I hope it's the busiest day we have ever had. I'll never say this, but I hope you have to wait 2 hours for your food because our ovens are maxed from open to close.
We have team members coming from all over to help. Be sure to use the Domino's tracker to track your order. The online ordering system and the app are pretty good at quoting wait times so please plan accordingly. Our ovens can cook about 150 items per hour, and we hope and plan to double that in orders. We do expect that we could reach 1-2+ hour wait times from 4-8pm.
Let's make Wednesday a day we will never forget for a sweet soul we will never forget!
