Fountain Park Church

Today we worshiped at Fountain Park Church, 8533 Peters Road, Cranberry Twp., PA 16066, www.fountainpc.com.


Bob’s thoughts:

It was especially pleasant to return to a church where the cross is very evident and the offering is taken in response to the Word.

The congregation seemed much more animated (perhaps it’s the joy of Easter), but the volume of the music in the small Sanctuary took away from the excitement. We were late coming in and there were no bulletins left, and surprisingly none left in the Sanctuary afterwards. I sense the powerful Spirit of Christ at work in this congregation, and I expect great things to come.

It was a special joy for me to see so many children and to enjoy a well-delivered sermon.

Easter blessings to all!

Jan’s thoughts:

“We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:6

Praise God for the Good News of the Resurrection, for Jesus Christ, the cornerstone of our faith.

We attended Fountain Park a few months ago, and were again blessed to worship there today. As at most churches, attendance was up – to the extent that they exhausted their supply of bulletins, but the service was still easy to follow. The Sanctuary was filled with extra chairs so the coffee and refreshments usually found in the back of the Sanctuary were outside instead.

Some members of the congregation were much more energetic than the last time we visited.

The music was inspiring and well done, and the lead singer especially had a very strong voice. The only trouble from my point of view was the volume, which hurt my ears. I thought could have been cut in half and it still would have been plenty loud.

Mark’s sermon touched me deeply. He spoke of the necessity of changing our thinking and our hearts in order to make changes in our lives; of God’s steadfast love for us and His desire for a relationship; and His grace and mercy being new each and every day. Mark has the ability to speak plainly and openly and with great sincerity, allowing the truth of his words to become very real. This sermon has made me think about things I’ve resisted thinking about – that God loves even me, and that it’s possible to change with God’s help. At this point in my life these things are vital to remember, and I appreciated the reminder.
