By Erin Petko, Publisher of Macaroni Kid Hershey July 10, 2019

On Sunday, June 14th at least 14 churches in Elizabethtown will gather to worship together and then head into the community to do service projects. It is a reminder to each of us: Don't just go to church—BE THE CHURCH!

PLEASE SIGN UP for one of the many service projects, to help plan the day!

CHILDCARE

Families are welcomed and encouraged to serve together if they are able. However, during the service projects, there will be a special tent for children ages 5 to 5th grade, including a bouncy house!

PARKING

Elizabethtown Borough Community Park does not have a parking lot. Please locate street parking nearby for the worship service.
