Past Events
Here are some of our previous events from the not so distant past.
Community Pride Day
The YWCA Hanover and Rainbow Rose Center of York hosted a free family-friendly Community Pride Day celebration at the YW on June 21. The afternoon of fun included local vendors, food, and games for all ages. Emmanuel's table had a Wheel of Fortune spinner with prizes for everyone. Thank you to all who turned out and stopped by to say Hi!
Rev. Ken holds down the fort
at PeopleFest!
Rev. Ken was all smiles and ready to welcome festivalgoers at the EUCC booth during the South Central PA PeopleFest on May 17. Hosted by the Hanover Area Diversity Alliance, this newly expanded celebration showcased our community’s rich cultural tapestry—with Highland Games, a Native American Pow Wow, music, dancing, global flavors, arts & crafts, and more. Thanks to all who stopped by to say hello!
​Encore Chamber Winds performs at EUCC
This Westminster, Md.-based woodwind quartet brought their unique sound to Emmanuel's Community Concert Series on April 6. They presented a program of chamber music featuring bagatelles and works from 20th century composers. Shown, from left, are Amy Kwon, EUCC Music Director, with musicians Paulella Burchill, Mindy Niles, Robert Sirois and David Duree, and Rev. Ken Peterkin, pastor.
Pet Blessings bring joy to worship
Pet Blessings during worship were a wonderful success! Eight pets—dogs, a cat, and even a bird—joined us in person on March 30, while several others were represented in photos brought by their humans. The service was a joyful celebration of our animal companions, and one youth summed it up best: “Coming to church is fun!”
