Hey guys!
Cori and I are getting ready to produce our 8th year of "Impressions of Christmas" but this year we need you! Many of you have been a part of our shows in the past and you KNOW what fun we have!
We are expanding our show this year and so we are looking for people who can sing, dance and act to help us make this year's Christmas show the best ever!! That's why you are getting this email. We know that you are creative and crazy enough to work with us AND want to know if you are down for making this year's Christmas show SPECTACULAR!!
Please respond to this email (yes or no) to let me know if you are interested in helping out with any (and all) aspects of producing this show.
We will be having our first organizational meeting on Oct. 9th @ 6pm which will be your chance to come and hear more about how you can get involved. All proceeds for this show will go to help build the new family shelter in Gettysburg and the Adams County Arts Council.
The show will run December 16, 17 and 18th and the location is yet to be determined, but will most likely end up being at either the Gettysburg Middle School (or High School) auditoriums if we can work out the details.
Please consider jumping into this thing with us as we bring the Christ of Christmas to Adams County!!

Two Pro-Life Opportunities (From Heidi Acker)
Hi guys........
Heidi Acker asked me to let you know about two very important ways you can show your support for the cause of unborn children and I'd love for the Intersection to be a part of both of them in a big way. First is a Pro-Life Ad with your signatures, and second is the Gettysburg Life Chain.
These two opportunities are happening over the next two weeks so please plan to take advantage of them if it is your heart to do so...
The Adams County Chapter of the Pennsylvanians for Human Life is sponsoring a two-page, pro-life ad to be published in the Gettysburg Times and Hanover Sun on Sat., Oct 29. The ad will be paid for by individual contributors at $3.00 per line. These names will be printed, with permission, on the ad. Please see Joyce Weaver this Sunday (Oct. 2nd) to sign up.
Gettysburg Life Chain will take place this Sunday, Oct. 2, from 2:30-3:30 at the Square and along streets in Gettysburg. Please join us as we peacefully demonstrate our stand against abortion by holding life-affirming signs and silently praying for protection for unborn children. Pro-Life signs will be available near Adams County National Bank on the Square. Please contact Marilyn Dietrick (334-8480) for more information.

Getting hitched?!?!
Thinking about getting married or know someone who is? I am pleased to report that there is a new pre-marriage class that is about to begin in the month of October. This class is being offered by my good friend, Pastor Marvin Stanley and his wife Mary starting Tuesday nights on Oct. 4th @ 6pm. This class (or one like it) is one of the few requirements to being married at The Intersection and would be an incredible opportunity for young couples to explore the idea of marriage God's way.
If you are interested in attending, you can just leave a comment and show up at the first class on October 4th! However, if you could also email Lana Orr at teacherorr@gmail.com and I to let us know that you are planning to attend, that would be great too!

Armenia Missions Trip Final Update
Okay everyone!
The team is safely back in the States now and everyone is adjusting to Eastern Standard time once again. I was expecting the jet-lag to be worse than it is, but it turns out I am surprisingly resilient :)
So here is the run-down on this powerful trip and all that God did! We went to three
cities during the course of the week and a half we were there. We did nightly worship concerts with an evangelistic message and altar call each night. The Armenians are sincere and passionate worshipers! Despite the language barrier, they sang, danced and high-fived each other like we were singing in their language! I was truly blessed by their openness to our music and energy.
We started our tour in the shadow of Mt. Ararat (where Noah apparently exited the ark) in the town of Ararat near the Turkish border. The people were so open to the message of Christ and I had a chance to speak on His willingness to serve us in the cross, death and resurrection. Many young people responded to the altar that night, crying out to God for the ability to serve God (and others) with their very lives! I am humbled to have had this opportunity to speak to these beautiful people in Ararat.
From Ararat, we loaded everything up and hit the capital city of Yerevan, Armenia with the life-changing music and message of God's love for us! Although, we had trouble getting the word out about the concerts, I believe that many were impacted by these three days of worship and leadership training. Lance did an amazing job, teaching our
need for a savior as we prayed and ministered to those that attended each night. We also had the opportunity to do some exploring during the day that helped us understand the Armenians as a people and nation. I am so humbled that God chose us to bless and serve these chosen people of God! They truly are a people with God-given purpose and destiny and I know that God released some prophetic initiatives that will help them be spiritual leaders in every area of the world!!
We closed the tour with two days worth of ministry in a town called Vanadzor. This town was one of three cities that were nearly destroyed by the devastating Armenian earthquake of 1988. The rebuilding is still happening and many of the Armenians I met were still living in the temporary housing that was set up for them back in '88. I was delighted by how this city responded to the Gospel message and music. They were open to God's grace like few groups I have ever seen and we spent hours praying (and prophesying) over people at the altars of this beautiful church!
Hundreds of people responded to preaching about Christ and His salvation plan during
the course of these 10 days and I know that many others were healed, filled with the Holy Spirit and strengthened in genuine faith in a country where faith has been misunderstood and misrepresented for centuries.
Thanks to everyone who contributed financially towards my portion of the cost for this trip! (You know who you are!) Also a big shout-out to all of you who prayed for the team and I while we were overseas...You were as much a part of the team as those who traveled the 19 hours to minister nightly!
I will try to post videos and pictures as I get the opportunity on my facebook and other similar places. Thanks again to all of you who supported this mighty team of worshipers and teachers...you made a difference in Armenia!!
