Rep. Matt Bradford visits Salford

State Rep. Matt Bradford was kind enough to visit Salford on Sunday night for a forum. Salford’s Justice and Peace Ministry Team prepared presentations on some key political issues – the death penalty, prison reform, and gun violence – and heard Rep. Bradford speak on these themes and others, as well as taking some questions from those on hand.

Annual Knot-A-Thon

Salford’s annual quilt knotting blitz was a big success!  Thank you to all who came out last week to tie and assemble so many warm comforters to be given to those in need.

Celebrating Shalom

Today’s worship service highlighted this year’s Peace Camp week and how we live out “Shalom” in the world. We also celebrated sending Nate and Sabrina out to serve with Jubilee Ministries in Georgia.

A few weeks ago Salford set up a booth at the local Harleysville fair to get to be present in our local community.  Thanks to all who stopped by to visit our booth!
