Worship event will encourage unity across the county

The fifth annual Reverberate worship night will be held on Sunday, Sept. 17, at Long's Park, 1441 Harrisburg Pike, Lancaster. The free event will be held at the park's outdoor amphitheater from 4 to 8 p.m., and it will feature live music, food trucks and worship activities from multiple local churches.

Multiple food trucks will be stationed beside the amphitheater, including Lickity Split, Chellas Arepa Kitchen, Blazing Swine BBQ, Cabalar, Halo's Eatery and Walk-O Taco. Throughout the evening, bands will provide praise and worship music on the stage, and churches such as Lancaster Evangelical Free Church, Reality Church, Westminster Presbyterian Church and Bright Side Baptist Church will offer worship activities.

Water Street Mission, located in downtown Lancaster, partnered with multiple churches in Lancaster County to create Reverberate in 2019. The nonprofit's primary goal was to promote service to the church, which is one of its core values. The first event was attended by more than 1,400 people from a variety of churches and denominations. In 2020, Reverberate was moved to a virtual platform due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it was transitioned to Long's Park in 2021 and has been held there since. Water Street Mission has partnered with 77 churches for this year's event, and it anticipates more than 2,000 attendees.

"We're super excited to bring together a lot of diverse congregations to allow the community to unite for a night," said Matthew Clements, marketing director of Water Street Mission. "Our end goal is that people are inspired to go out and love their neighbors."

Water Street Mission is a nonprofit organization that provides a variety of services to people in need throughout Lancaster County. Water Street Mission is centered around Christian values, and it incorporates Scripture into its many community outreach efforts, such as residential programs, a community food bank, career mentoring and counseling services. The organization also operates a health clinic that provides medical, dental and behavioral health services for people who are in need of critical care but unable to acquire it otherwise. Services are offered to those who are uninsured, underinsured or experiencing homelessness. Water Street Mission's emergency shelter program is designed to assist people who are in need of a stable living situation or who are navigating a crisis.
