Chapter History
In the year 1921, the Grace and Hope mission was opened in York, PA. For the past 85 years we have been privileged to work in the city and surrounding areas.
Our main purpose is to preach the gospel through worship and open-air services, Sunday school, children's programs, and home and nursing home visitations.
We have a well attended Sunday school and Bible Club on Tuesday afternoon, also a youth group that helps us in the rest homes. We also have our visitation work, which includes visiting hospitals, rests home and private homes. We have found that there are so many lonely people in the world who enjoy a visit,
'just to talk."
Our relief work is a joy to us. How happy we are to be able to help those who are in need. We distribute cold meets, fruits, vegetables, canned good, baked goods and clothing. Many sandwiches are given to those who pass through the city, seeking help.
The Lord has blessed His work here and we praise Him for it.

Marlea Gutchess, Superintendent We. thank God for all His blessings during this past year. Throughout this coming year I know that we can rely upon God's leading and trust Him to guide us in the right way. I know who holds the future,
And I know who holds my hand;
With God things don't just happen
Everything by Him is planned
~Smith "Don't try to hold God's hand; let Him hold yours. Let Him do the holding, and you do the trusting." H. W. Webb .-. People. "We walk by faith, not by sight." Corinth. 5:7. An example of faith was found on the wall of a concentration camp. On it a prisoner had carved the words:
I believe in the sun, even though it doesn't shine,
I believe in love, even when it isn't shown,
I believe in God, even when He doesn't speak.
Continue to pray for members of our congregation who have physical problems and those recovering from surgery. A lady stopped by as we conducted am open-air meeting at Central Market. She said that she appreciated our faithful Christian service. She and her grandfather were picked up and taken to the Sunday services at the mission.
She never passes by the mission without a grateful heart that she was taught the fundamental Christian truths at the mission, She said, "Where would I be today if it had not been for the Grace and Hope Mission."
We thank God that we have the opportunity to be a Godly inc fluence in aUF community. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." - Prov. 3:5,6 (NIV)
May you have a blessed new year!
