| Pastor Kent's 10pm pickup of donations |
Although rarely making headlines, there are daily efforts to extend compassion to the York
community. Two days ago we observed Pastor Kent making his regular 10 pm pick
up of donations from West York Panera. These donations are given away weekly at the York City Campus.

For more than 53 years, the
York Rescue Mission has offered food, clothing, shelter and spiritual guidance
for the poor and needy of York County. We were surprised at the number of connections between our church and this organization. Check out this partial list
of Stillmeadow people involved at The York Rescue Mission.
Pastor Scott Beattie leads worship at our City Church Campus and is also the Life Skills Director at York Rescue Mission. Check out Scott’s comments in a local TV station interview about a new York Rescue Mission partnership HERE.
Lisa Beattie (Scott’s wife) is Assistant to the CEO of the York Rescue Mission.
Pastor Isabelle Clark serves as our Mission’s Pastor and for more than 16 years has worked at The York Rescue Mission downtown store.
James Young from our City Campus is 1st shift front desk man at the Mission.
Teens and Adults from our Main Campus visit the mission on the first Friday of each month.
Teens and Adults from our City Campus visit the mission on the third Tuesday of each month.

Audrey and Ken Brubaker give proceeds from their popular book sale to York Rescue Mission. (The last book sale raised over $10,000). Held twice a year, the next book sale is October 14-15 at the York Alliance Church @ 501 Rathton Road, York, PA. (Ken also works part time at the York Rescue Mission store in Dallastown).As you can see, many Stillmeadow Nazarenes join the Rescue Mission in their stated goal;
"Service above Self and to be Christ-like; inviting men, women and children to accept the Savior whom God sent into the world (John 3:16). We meet the basic human needs of the many we serve, as well as equip, train, nurture and guide them toward a better quality of life."
"Jesus is always in favor of compassion and connection with all people.”
