Preacher:
Passage: Jeremiah 29:4-13

Today we celebrate 172 years of God’s Faithfulness here in Atglen! We thank God for His faithfulness then and now. We look forward to what God will do in the next 172 years.

This Sunday we’re looking at Jeremiah 29:4-13. Many people know the famous verse of Jeremiah 29:11 (“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord…). What you may not know is that this passage was written when the Israelites were in the midst of being exiled. They lost their homeland, their security, and were very worried about the future.

In this passage Jeremiah hears a unique promise from the Lord. “Seek the welfare of it’s city. Pray for it. For when it prospers, you will prosper.” Here in Penningtonville, we are #ForAtglen. When we dream big dreams for this city and see it to its fruition, the community wins, and so does the Lord.
