☀️ Outdoor Worship Is Back! 🌳

Can you believe summer is almost here? We’re excited to head back outside for worship at the Trails and Trees Environmental Center beginning Sunday, May 24!

From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, we’ll gather for worship each Sunday at 9:30 AM surrounded by God’s beautiful creation. Bring your coffee, a chair, and come ready to worship under the trees! We’ll meet rain or shine—if the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll move indoors to the Environmental Center building.

We also have a fun schedule shift coming up as we move into summer:

🌿 May 24 — Our first outdoor worship service at Trails and Trees
🤝 May 31 — Reach Sunday, where we’ll head out in teams to serve throughout our community instead of gathering in one location
☀️ June 7 onward — Back to Trails and Trees for the rest of the summer!

So think of it like this: one week outside, one week serving, then back together outdoors all summer long. We’re really looking forward to this season together!

📍 Parking Information:
Please park in the Mechanicsburg Middle School lot, on the left side of the building, and follow the walking path to the pavilion.

There are about 10 accessible parking spots available at Trails and Trees (1731 S. York St.) for those with physical limitations. If you’re able, please help us reserve those spaces for those who truly need them.

It has long been the mission of MCC to be a people who reach into the community and serve our neighbors. We have done this through our Reach Sundays and a variety of other ways. It has also been a dream of many within MCC to host a Summer Reading Program as another way of reaching into our community.

This July 14–16, from 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m., we have an incredible opportunity to continue to do this in a unique way that will reach many families within our community through the Joy of Discovery through Books: a center-based, hands-on reading camp for children in grades K through third grade.

We will be partnering with Operation Wildcat (one of our community partners), who has graciously donated the books we will use, as well as with Christian World Services (another community partner of MCC), who have deep connections with children from the community. Along with other volunteers from the community, our hope is to build relationships through a fun, interactive reading program for children in grades K–3.

Please partner with us and pray for this initiative, for the children and families who will participate, for the volunteers, and for the love of Jesus to be made known and experienced.
