Let’s journey through the unexpected together!  Today we rise to the challenge. 

COVID-19 VACCINE INFORMATION

The PA Department of Health is currently is currently within Phase 1A of vaccine distribution.  In order to find the most up to date information about who is eligible for a vaccine and a list of providers, please click here.

While many local pharmacies (including Weis, Wegman’s, Rite Aid, Giant, Walmart, and more) have said that they will have the vaccine, getting an appointment has been nearly impossible.  This week, Penn State Health and UPMC have set up lists for you to be notified when a vaccine is available (mostly at their mass vaccination events and/or through your healthcare provider). 

We provide the links here as informational only, not guaranteeing the availability of a vaccine for Penn State Health and UPMC. 

We also received word on Sunday morning that there is a vaccine clinic coming to York this week.  To register for the clinic, the phone line will open promptly at 8am on Monday, March 1.  The number to call is 1-800-753-8827.  PLEASE NOTE: In order to be eligible for this opportunity, you must qualify to receive the vaccine as in the 1A category (65+ years old or certain qualifying medical conditions.  See above for latest requirements)  

Church Council

Our next church council meeting is online on Thursday, March 11 at 6:30 pm, please contact the church office for the link. 

CHUM Partnership

• The Camp Hill and Grace councils have agreed to enter into an informal ministry partnership with each other!!!  PLEASE NOTE:  We have NOT YET DECIDED to take possession of the former Calvary building.  That decision requires a full congregational vote.    These are two separate points. During this informal period, Camp Hill will supply 2/3 of the expected costs, Grace will supply 1/3.  Expected costs are building inspections, lawyer fees to draw up contracts, etc.  (These costs are not to exceed $7500 total, $5000 from CHUM, $2500 from Grace)    
• The Calvary building inspection will take place within the first two weeks of March
• Here is a link to the townhall meeting that took place on Sunday, February 21.   

• Our next town hall meeting will be held later in March via Zoom.  Date TBA,
• A small group from each council met on Saturday, February 13 as a follow up to that group’s January 23 meeting.  Here is a summary of our February 13 meeting. 
• We have set up a document that answers many of the Frequently Asked Questions surrounding this potential partnership in ministry.  This document, and plenty of other information is available here
• We have also set up an email address where you can submit your questions.  .  By sending an email to that address, you’ll be emailing all the pastors involved in the discussions as well as key Camp Hill UMC staff.

I am so proud to be the pastor of a church who raises the bar!   

The Church Council met on February 11 and we have all decided to remain closed for in-person worship through at least March 14, 2021.  The church council will meet again on March 11.  At that meeting, we will discuss the new realities and numbers surrounding the COVID-19 virus as well as revisit the possibility of parking lot worship and/or in-person worship.
