First Saint John's, York, Pa.

First Saint John's, York, Pa. First St John's is one of the historic churches of historic York, Pa. It’s popular to talk about meeting God on the golf course, or the beach.

Come in anytime, we'd love to show you this beautiful building and the wonderful people who maintain worship here and the loving, gracious Lord, Jesus Christ. God is a transcendent God, He is above all things in the earth, He created all, He is “all present” or “omnipresent”, but Jesus built His church on the disciples, He gave His gifts of baptism, Body and Blood, the Keys (forgiveness or unforgi

veness) to His church. We who are the Body of Christ, in the church, will be as that Body the Bride of Christ. God is all of creation, He created it, but He clearly gave His church the things that He wanted His church to give to the world. We meet God in worship, in His church, on His terms not ours, He knows you’re on the golf course and wondering why you’re not in worship in His church. We conduct liturgical worship, that emphasizes God, what He does, how He moves us, guides us, works through us. Too much worship today is on "me" and what I do in relation to God. It's not what I do that counts, it's what God does to and through me. We trust in God's sovereignty, what He does and that is how we worship. God is the all knowing Creator and Sustainer of the universe, He's going to do things better then me, so I follow Him and rely on His leading, not mine.

“When people stand before God to be judged, only two responses are possible: terrified humiliation or joyful thanksgiving. Which will it be for us? The cross is where God’s justice is served and His anger appeased on our behalf. The empty tomb is the assurance that we are preserved for life everlasting. We rejoice because His judgment is that we are His saints, the upright in heart, through faith.”

Lord, smash the idols we are tempted to revere. Let us worship You alone. Amen.

(Excerpt from The Lutheran Study Bible notes for Psalm 97)

This question breaks your heart, but it matters more than people realize.
Your dog spent their whole life choosing you, trusting you, and loving you without hesitation.
In their final moments, they shouldn’t be searching the room for the person who always made them feel safe.
Staying isn’t easy, but it’s one last act of love they can feel.
It’s the quiet promise that they won’t have to be afraid or alone.
And if you’ve ever loved a dog, you know they deserve that comfort until the very end.
