🌻 Seasoned Saints, we’d love to have you join us!

This month, we’re looking forward to welcoming Emily Tomko for a special morning together.

Emily will share “A Return to Old-Fashioned Ways”—the story of how God led her family, with no agricultural background, into a life of livestock, gardening, and self-sufficiency on a 16-acre farm. She has learned so much along the way and is passionate about sharing what God has taught her with others.

Come enjoy a morning of fellowship, encouragement, and a little inspiration from a simpler way of life. ❤️

📅 Friday, August 28, 2026

📍 LifeGate Church
🥐 Refreshments & light lunch provided

We hope to see you there! 🌿

As we celebrate the 4th of July, we thank God for His faithfulness and the many blessings He has poured out on our nation throughout its 250-year journey. We are grateful for the freedoms we enjoy and for those who have sacrificed to preserve them.

Today, we pray that God will continue to guide America with wisdom, justice, and peace, and that we, as His people, will be a light in our communities through love, service, and faith.

From all of us at our church, we wish you and your family a joyful, safe, and blessed Independence Day. Happy 4th of July! God bless America!

We’re excited to welcome Rep. Tom Jones, your State Representative for the 98th legislative district, representing parts of Lancaster and Lebanon counties.

Tom is not only a dedicated public servant—having served as Township Supervisor, Lancaster County Planning Commissioner, Police Commissioner, and Fire Company Board member—but also a family man and local businessman. Together with his wife Rochelle, they’ve successfully run their property and landscape businesses for 25 years. They have four children and attend Community Bible Church in Marietta, where Tom serves as an Elder.

Fun fact: Tom is an amateur herpetologist and shares his home with three alligators and several large snakes! 🐊🐍
Join us for an engaging morning of conversation, fellowship, and insight into the issues affecting our community. Tom shares our conservative values, and this is a wonderful opportunity to connect with him personally.
