Promised Land is an outreach program open to children in the local community. Promised Land is held on most Wednesdays from 3:30-5:45 p.m. from September through February.

Promised Land focuses on Bible lessons that teach us how to be good citizens and uses drama, music, crafts and games to reinforce those lessons. In Promised Land the children learn how to help others in their commuinty. One of the ways that we try to teach this is by taking the kids out into the community and by doing service projects with them, such as yard clean ups for elders, caroling for residents at Hummelstown Manor and a Thanksgiving Food Drive to name a few.

The relationships that develop between the children and the volunteers is also a important part of Promised Land. Children experience the love of God through our caring adult and teen helpers. The program is open to children in kindergarten through fifth grade. Children are met at Nye Elementary School at the close of school and walked to the church.

If you have a child that attends morning Kindergarten, or a child that attends another school that would like to attend Promised Land, please feel free to drop them off at the church by 3:45 p.m.so that they can attend.

Another unique experience at Promised Land is the family style meal that is served from 5:15-5:45 p.m. This meal is hand made by loving volunteers and the children sit together with volunteers and share stories about their day...it is truly a "family" experience.

Registration is required to be part of the program. There is a $20 fee to cover the cost of meals for the year. Registration forms may be picked up at the Church Office and any questions about the program can be answered by Christel Dippery via e-mail or at 566-0252 ext. 108.
