Preach On The Beach

CORE (Collaborative Oil Region Episcopal) Ministries and Grace Lutheran Church held their annual “Preach on the Beach” at Two Mile County Park in Venango County on Sunday, August 17th.

The CORE churches include Christ Oil City, Christ Church Meadville, Memorial Church of Our Father Foxburg, St. James Memorial Titusville, and St. John’s/Grace Franklin.

Scores of folks from these congregations gathered for an outdoor Eucharist followed by a wonderful potluck spread. The council of Grace, cohort congregation of St. John’s, provided table service, fried chicken, and baked ham.

Together, the clergy and laity of our churches continue to support one another in outreach, worship, and building faith-filled relationships across our region.

For the very first plate collection, contributions were made to seed our shared activities and programming, emphasizing our CORE Ministries mission statement: “Together We Can.”
