A Visit with Our Longest Term Member - Lancaster First UMC


Dear Friends,

  A couple of months ago, Pastor Cheryl and I visited Mary Graf who has the distinction of being our longest term member.  On April 12, she will celebrate her 87th church membership anniversary! 

  During our visit together, we had a delightful conversation.  We concluded our time together with a prayer in which we gave thanks to God for Mary’s faithfulness to the church over all these years.

  As we prepare for our first bicentennial celebration event with our church bell dedication on Sunday, April 22 (just ten days after Mary’s church membership anniversary!) I am also so thankful for your love and dedication to Jesus Christ and First UMC! 

   You are an amazing congregation.

   Happy Anniversary!

   Pastor Robert
