Draw Near // Easter @ Stillnaz, VBS 2026
Dearly beloved,
On this Holy Week, I pray that God draws your heart closer to his as you draw close to him. Here are three ways to draw close this week.
Holy Week Prayer Nights at 6:30 (Tuesday and Friday at Stillmeadow Lane, Thursday at York City Campus).
The Day2Pray4York tomorrow. Sign up to fill up the final open spots and use the Lenten prayer guide for the hour you choose.
And pray with me for our Easter crowd, particularly for those who will be with us for the first time ever or the first time in a while, that they would experience God’s holy presence and turn to Jesus with their whole heart.
I’m grateful for each of you and cheering you on as you “go” with Christ this week. Jonathan Phillips' message yesterday was an encouragement for all ages. Watch it again here.
Grace and Peace,
Josh
