**Help the Happy Church Bible Quizzers get to Holiday World ☺️**

The Happy Church Bible Quizzers have worked so hard all year long learning and memorizing God’s Word, competing in quizzing events, and growing in their faith. As a reward for all of their dedication and hard work, they will be taking a trip to Holiday World this summer! 🎢☀️ This will be the first trip to an amusement park for many of our kids!

The quizzers and their parents have already worked tirelessly through multiple fundraisers (including selling our Happy Chicken eggs) and have successfully covered the majority of the housing expenses for the trip. We are so proud of their commitment and effort!

We are now asking for help covering ticket costs for the kids and their parents. Any contribution, big or small, would be such a blessing and would help make this special trip possible for every child involved.

Most importantly, thank you for supporting these young people as they hide God’s Word in their hearts and grow into strong men and women of faith. ❤️

If you would like to give toward tickets, Vanessa’s (Mike and Connie’s daughter) Venmo and PayPal information are listed below, just type “Holiday World” as the reason!

What a beautiful Mother’s Day at The Happy Church! Our hearts are full after seeing a full house of precious families. We celebrated by gifting flowers to all the women and watching the kids lovingly create special arrangements for their moms. Truly a blessed day!"

The Honorable Robert Bruce McGuinness, Esq., 68, passed away Friday, May 1, 2026, in Jackson, Kentucky where he resided with his wife, Genevieve Neace. Born on September 8, 1957, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, he was the son of the late James B. and Carolyn N. (Mantz) McGuinness. He was predeceased by his brother:
(Scott Alan McGuinness (1963-2016).
Bob was a 1975 graduate of Louis E. Dieruff High School. He graduated from Purdue University and earned his Juris Doctor degree in 1983 at the University of Alabama School of Law. He began his career in the law in the legal aid arena in Kentucky, was a public defender in Franklin and Towanda, Pennsylvania where he served from 1996 to 1999 as District Attorney and from 2013 to 2023 as Hearing Master of Bradford County, Pennsylvania.
Alongside Bob's passion for the law was his love of the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Eagles in that order: Bob was equally at home in a stadium and a Broadway theater, with a beer or a good glass of wine, in a board room or at a chess board, and before the bench, on the bench or warming the bench.
In addition to his loving wife, Bob is survived by stepson: Kenneth Ray Neace. Step grandchildren: James Michael, Christian Isaac, Miranda Malone and Mariah. His sisters: Karen, wife of Aaron Wilcoxson; Sandra Kipp; Barbara; and sister-in-law, Jennifer McGuinness, nieces, nephews, and a host of other friends and colleagues.

So proud of our amazing State Champions! 🏆📖

Yes, they brought home awards—and we’re celebrating that—but what matters most is something far greater: they’re hiding God’s Word in their hearts.

Seeds are being planted, faith is growing, and lives are being shaped for eternity. 💛

“Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11

We are canceling services for Sunday. Weather is the biggest factor, but there is a slim possibility the roads could be “good enough” by noon. I, pastor Mike, came down with Covid Thursday night. I am about 50% better already but not able to speak much without coughing. Also, with Phil, our tech magician, living in a shady hollow, he probably will not be able to get out. So, we are canceling, but hope to see y’all next week!

What a beautiful way to celebrate the season!

The presents, coats, food baskets, and other ministries remind us that Christmas is about giving, serving, and coming together.

We hope to demonstrate God’s provision by making bodies warm, stomachs full, and hearts blessed.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated and volunteered to make this possible!
