What's Happening at River’s Edge?
GOD IS MOVING (us)!!!
Less than a year ago, a group of believers, from different parts of the Susquehanna River Valley/area, gathered with a vision of ministries centered on God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and the Holy Bible.
Our first meetings were on the edge of the Susquehanna River, in Myo Park.
Our first Sunday morning worship service was held in Seal Park (in late July of last year).
Since that time, we have been meeting at the Twin Valley Players Colonnade Theater.
Over the past few weeks, God has called us to a new building… just around the block from the Colonnade!. We are so excited to be settling in a place where we will be meeting on Sundays (without having to haul all of our gear every week) and be used as God’s hands and feet to minister to others. We look forward to seeing you at our new location:
231 Walnut Street
Millersburg, PA
Parking available curbside and MidPenn Bank’s rear parking lot.
We want to give a HUGE thank you to the TVP!!! Christi and Nikki have been opening the theater for us each week. They are such a blessing! We are so thankful for these two and the Colonnade. If you are looking for a place to hold a birthday party, private party, or such… please consider renting and supporting the TVP Colonnade! They are a nonprofit that is such an important staple to our area. Watch their movies. Watch their live shows. Let’s bless the Colonnade!
We have a name for our new building…
THE BEACON
The concept of a "beacon" in the Bible is often associated with light, guidance, and hope. In Matthew 5:14-16, Jesus says, "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill that cannot be hidden... Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." This verse encourages Christians to be noticeable examples of faith - shining their light through good deeds and reflecting God's glory.
In the New Testament, Jesus is described as the "light of the world," …a beacon that offers guidance and hope to those who follow him.
Metaphorical Light ~ The term "beacon" is often used metaphorically to represent a guiding light, much like a signal fire or lighthouse, that helps people navigate through darkness or uncertainty.
Scriptural Context ~ While the word "beacon" isn't always used, the idea of light as a symbol of divine guidance is prevalent throughout the Bible. For instance, Psalm 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
Being a Beacon ~ The concept extends to believers, who are encouraged to be "beacons of light" themselves, reflecting God's love and truth to others and guiding them towards faith. Christians are called to reflect Jesus' light by living out their faith and sharing the Gospel.
Not your typical “church”…
River’s Edge is a group of believers led by God-fearing, Jesus-saved, Spirit-filled, Bible-reading Overseers (or as some refer to as Elders) who are supported by Deacons (according to 1 Timothy 3:1-13). We meet for worship on Sunday mornings at the Beacon (231 Walnut Street, Millersburg, PA). Everyone is welcome!
