COVID-19 Update: as long as Berks County is in the "Substantial" or "High" category, masks will be required by all during services and any indoor activities at our church. This is by Church Council action and is based on state and federal recommendations due to increase in cases of COVID infection.

Luke 5:5,6 –Simon answered Jesus, "Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets." When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break.
Jesus’s instructions make no sense to Simon, but following them leads him to make an enormous catch of fish. Steward/disciples often find that God’s guidance leads to greater abundance. When have you seen this in your life?
