Lancaster County Area Ministry Luncheon at Yoder’s Banquet Center in New Holland, PA.

Join us for fellowship, a tasty Lancaster County family-style meal and updates on the ministry of H*VMI. We encourage our ministry partners to bring a friend - someone new to the ministry - so he/she can also learn about what God is doing in the lives of those we serve!

There is no cost to attend, but RSVP is required. An offering will be taken to help fund H*VMI’s ministry programs. Doors open at 10:45AM. No reserved seating. Sign Language interpretation available upon request.

RSVP by October 15th!

NOTIFICATION OF H*VMI’s WITHDRAWAL FROM EXTRA-GIVE: (message from Kyle Robinson, Executive Director)

Looking around, it is clear that the world is changing. The world would like us all to move with the tide taking us further and further away from our Christian beliefs and ideals. Often we feel our choices are either to go with or swim against the tide. I would suggest that believers need to be like solid rocks, staying constant no matter how the water around us moves. At H*VMI we are committed to standing firm no matter what changes in the world around us.

The practical aspect of how this pertains to the ExtraGive event is explained in the attached letters. In summary, we believe that the values of the ExtraGive sponsoring organization, LCCF, have shifted toward values that conflict with the Bible. Therefore, we cannot in good conscience continue participating in this event.

Below are two letters that I hope will help explain H*VMI’s decision to withdraw from ExtraGive: The first is FROM the ExtraGive to prior GIVE donors. The second is H*VMI’s letter TO you, our friend, supporter and co-laborer.

LETTER FROM EXTRAGIVE

H*VMI RESPONSE LETTER

As the letter states, please direct any questions about this issue to Kyle Robinson, Executive Director of H*VMI.

Please join us for a Groundbreaking Ceremony at the H*VMI Ministry Property following the Lancaster County Ministry Luncheon! We will meet at the property at 2 PM. The ceremony will take place rain or shine, so please plan accordingly. We recommend you bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket.

There is no need to register for the Groundbreaking Ceremony. If you would like to join us for the Lancaster County Area Ministry Luncheon at Yoder’s beforehand, please RSVP by October 18th.
