We relocated to Jonestown PA 15 years ago.
We attend Zions Lutheran Church
I am a member of the mutual ministry team. Four individuals and our pastor who help steer the church and present proposals to the council.
We chose this church for our daughter.
My daughter was born with Down. Not all ministries would be a fit for her and I placed her needs first. We helped start a program at this church which was all inclusive for all individuals with special needs of any age. So, the person with boisterous and motion-full autism would be accepted and ministered to rather than possibly looked at as the interruption at service. Started with four families now over 20 and varying visitors each week. The program was initially called Joyful Spirits but then we incorporated into the church program of Rejoicing Spirits for financial purposes. Every Wednesday we worship. A meal for around 60 people per week is prepared by volunteer families. Afterwards we have worship which involves the Lord's prayer , singing (A LOT). and interactive stage plays following Scriptural stories. Afterwards is Kings Kids which is time for crafts related to the teachings of the day.
That is our Small town home.
