Fall Kick-off at Storehouse Church

On Sunday, September 27th, Storehouse Church, our Free Methodist congregation in Plymouth Meeting, PA launched into the Fall with their Fall Kick-off Sunday. They had 458 people in attendance.
Here are some notes from Pastor JR Rushik’s blog. These are his pastoral reflections for the people of Storehouse Church:
I love the verse in 1 Thes. 5:24, The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.” Well, God DID IT! I’m writing to declare that God did something special among us today!
Several people raised their hands indicating a decision for Jesus today. YAAHOOO! ALWAYS POWERFUL!
Our church was flooded with first-time guests. One person brought a friend who had NEVER been to church - any church - in his entire life. He loved the service and promised to return to Storehouse next week!
The shuttle bus worked perfectly. Our main parking lot only had 9 cars in it at 10:10am – creating a very welcoming first impression for our guest. Without your willingness to park in the shuttle lot we would not have been able to accommodate the more than 450 people who were among us today!
Our kids ministry was bursting at the seams. Big High-Five to all the kids workers. You folks did an amazing job. The lobby teams were awesome – creating a warm, welcoming environment. And our celebration service teams knocked it out of the park – on all fronts.
God showed up in a powerful way this morning. It was exciting. It gave us a glimpse of our future. BUT let me assure you – no matter how exciting today was – this is just the beginning of the journey God has for us. The BEST is yet to come!

New Pastor at Solid Rock Community Church

We are pleased announce the appointment of Pastor Mike Brown to Solid Rock Community Church, our Free Methodist congregation in Schnecksville, PA.

Mike began his ministry at Solid Rock Church on Sunday, October 1st. Mike and his wife, Ellen, are a highly experienced pastoral couple. Serving most recently at Emmanuel Free Methodist Church in Janesville, Wisconsin, Mike and Ellen plan to move their household to the Lehigh Valley in November.

Please pray for Mike and Ellen and the Solid Rock Church as they form the bonds of partnership for the sake of the gospel. Pray also for the Browns as they work through all the details of selling their home in Janesville and moving to Pennsylvania.

Article about Al Barnes


I've heard David Harvey say many times, "God has always a good plan." Sometimes, when life hit us bad, it is hard to see the good plan of God.
But God always gives us stories that remind us of his faithfulness in providing a good plan.
Al Barnes, pastor of Kingdom Roadhouse Biker Church, is a great example of that. After going through a serious accident, that the "doctors wouldn't predict his chances of making it to sunrise", Al has recovered well.
The Morning Call, a newspaper from Allentown PA, published an article about Al that brings glory to God and pictures perfectly the good plan of God in Al's life.
