What happens when you Invest in Lenape Valley Church?
What happens when you invest in Lenape Valley Church? We send people away! You may have expected the opposite answer. Shouldn’t we welcome people in? Yes! But at Lenape Valley we also work hard to send our people out into the world where the need is, to be God’s gracious gift to the world. Like a City on a Hill, God calls us to send our light out, finding those who live in darkness, to bring God’s grace and hope to heal a hurting world.
Last spring we sent our Adult Mission Team to the mountains of North Carolina to do housing rehab after a series of floods devastated that area. From painting to flooring to plumbing and electrical repair, this team restored family after family to their homes. Twenty times our Adult Mission Team has moved out in response to a disaster, from New Orleans to Texas to Tennessee and the Carolinas, bringing Christ’s love through hard working hands.
Last summer, 32 youth and adults left Lenape Valley to serve with Bold Hope in Belize. We partnered with the good people of Georgetown and Mya Mopan to build a stage for a community center, a sewage system for a Health Clinic, and an enlarged gathering place for a church. While our construction teams were hard at work, others taught Vacation Bible School in a local school and invited children into a sports ministry. Our medical team traveled into the community to bring basic care and information to people who seldom see a medical professional. Our youth love going out, inviting their friends to share in the adventure. On December 8th, Lenape Valley will host the free Bold Hope Christmas Dinner, where joy of Going will be shared! RSVP by November 30th.
This fall, Lenape Valley Church moved out in the name of Jesus to serve our community. Over 300 of our people- four generations, gave over 1200 hours of service to care for our neighbors. Our Caring for Friends team created meals that will serve 300 homebound residents of our community. We packed almost 200 Christmas boxes for children in 3rd World countries. Gardens were planted at a school in southwest Philadelphia, while others on our team did repair work around the school. Our teams served families facing domestic violence and women rescued from human trafficking. Over two tons of food was delivered to the New Britain food pantry, while others distributed food at the Barclay Farmer’s market, and still others worked on a farm that grows produce to feed the hungry. A team painted in Camden, and another played music for residents at a nursing home. Pets were fed. The unhoused received blankets. Children in foster care will celebrate happy birthdays because our church answers the call to GO. Many lives were touched this fall in the name of Jesus because Lenape Valley is intent on sending people away!
I love the stories you tell of how God is using you in your workplace, and in your volunteer commitments. Our people have gone out in mission to Alaska and Honduras, Haiti, Camden and southwest Philadelphia. Last week, Doylestown Hospital celebrated two of our members who answer the call to Go again and again. At 95 and 96, Midge and Lloyd Vansant have together given an incredible 64 years of volunteer service at the hospital. Lloyd pushes patients through the halls of the hospital, while Midge supports families waiting for their loved ones undergoing a procedure. They are among many of our people who serve at the hospital. We have people who serve with WorthWhileWear, Young Life, Cornerstone, Peter Powerhouse and Bucks County Prison… and the list goes on and on. What a joy to watch you go out on the mission field in the name of Jesus. A healthy church is a sending church!
You share in each of these gracious efforts every time you invest in the mission of Lenape Valley Church. At LVC we grow up in the faith, so that we can serve in the world. We need a strong church home to be a sending church.
On Sunday, November 23rd, you will have an opportunity to invest in the mission and ministry of Lenape Valley Church for 2026. We are the mission of Jesus Christ to the world God so loves. Share in the opportunity of a lifetime- help send LVC out!
With you on the mission field,
Anita
