United in Love

"They will know you are my disciples by the way you love one another."

Since CCU's founding, together we have sought to love our neighbors well in the midst of crisis. Together we have walked with individuals experiencing homelessness, poverty, and incarceration. We have seen and heard countless stories of lives being changed because, together, churches in Harrisburg sought to love well.

On May 16th, at Camp Hill United Methodist Church, we want to invite you to gather to dream of ways that we can continue to be United in Love. We invite you to respond to the call to embrace our neighbors, to educate ourselves in best practices, and dream of how we might embody the way of Jesus in our ever-changing world. Gather with other churches, all called and committed to love the people of Harrisburg well. Together we will imagine a way forward for loving our neighbors experiencing homelessness, poverty, & incarceration.

$20 for Individual Ticket
$100 for Group of 6 Tickets
