PASTORAL GREETINGS
“The word is near you,
in your mouth and in your heart”
(that is, the word of faith that we proclaim), because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For one believes with the heart, leading to righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, leading to salvation. The scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (Romans 10:8-15)
Dear Siblings in Christ,
In this passage from Romans, Paul reminds us why our shared ministry at Camp Hill Presbyterian Church is so important. At the heart of all that we say and all that we do, is our call to proclaim that “Jesus is Lord” and it that everyone “who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
This reading from Romans also reminds me of my particular call to preach, teach and proclaim the Gospel. It is always my hope that God will use my ministry to help you hear the Good News of Jesus Christ and to trust in God’s promise and mercy.
As we move through this season of ministry together, I trust that God will raise up the leader that you need for your next chapter of ministry and in the meantime, we are blessed to hear and proclaim God’s Word together.
Thank you for sharing this journey.
Be Blessed,
Pastor Richard E. T. Jorgensen, Jr.

Please plan to attend Many Voices, One Song. Enjoy an exciting gathering from churches throughout our Presbytery for great music, great preaching and a fellowship picnic. Most gatherings of the Presbytery are primarily for Pastors and Elders. Many Voices includes regular folks in the pews who look forward to meeting other local Presbyterians outside of their congregation. Our special guest is Rev. Cece Armstrong, Co-Moderator of the 226th General Assembly. She has been inspiring Presbyterians across the denomination with her enthusiasm and vision of unity amidst diversity. Many Voices will be held on Sunday, August 30, 4pm, at Second Presbyterian Church, Carlisle, 528 Garland Dr., Carlisle, just off of I-81. (Please reach out to Abby Tierney at 717-608-8885 if you’d like assistance finding a carpool). Worship is at 4pm; free picnic dinner will be around 5:30pm. Rain or shine. The building is air conditioned and there will be outdoor tents for shade. There’s plenty of off-street parking. The building is fully accessible to all. Come–and bring a friend! No need to sign up or register, unless you want to sing in the intergenerational Many Voices Unity Choir. To sign up to sing, go to: https://carlislepby.org/join-the-song/.
