This is done by supporting people on their own unique personal journeys. Penn Mar provides an array of customizable services.

Services are recorded and streamed live each week on Zion Lutheran Church’s Facebook page. It is possible during the recording that people attending the service will be filmed.  If you have any concerns about being filmed, please contact the office at 717-235-3276.
