Community Services/Non-Profits in Carlisle, PA

“I am a Christian; a repentant, obedient follower of Jesus Christ. I do not take or adopt denominational names (such as Baptist, Pentecostal, etc.), nor those of theologians and theologies, such as Calvinist or Reformed. However, I must say that I am exceedingly grateful for the edifiying writings of the Puritans and to the Banner Of Truth which publishes them. In a world and a "church" where lies and false prophets abound, such extra-Biblical, solid teaching is like water in a desert. One of the things I notice is the Puritans' unapologetic teaching on "religion" and "the fear of the Lord," whereas today, professors of Christ are always trying to redefine and mitigate the force of "fear," and ignore the use of "pure and undefiled religion before God" in the Bible by parroting this oft used phrase: "God wants a relationship, not religion." Anybody who understands the kind of religion God wants, understands one MUST have a relationship with Him to move in that grace of religion. Some of the writings that have become most dear to me (outside of the Bible) are Thomas Watson's, The Doctrine of Repentance, and All Things For Good; Ralph Venning's, The Sinfulness Of Sin; and Richard Sibbes', The Bruised Reed. I can personally and highly recommend the above titles that can all be purchased from the Banner Of Truth. I am confident that the work they accomplish through printing the preachers of the past abounds with much thanksgiving unto the Lord God by a multitude of believers in Christ Jesus.”

“This is an amazing place for the community and kids. With all the negative events and situations that happen in the weather, it is a breath of fresh air to have an establishment that encourages, inspires, and provide info. This is a place where kids can dream and grow”

“The YWCA has wonderful staff that makes you feel like family. I've sent both my children through their Little Wonders Preschool Program. The program has helped my children not only with getting a jump start on their education it also provided them the emotional skills needed to go into a school environment. I would recommend anyone looking at this, to check out this preschool program and their wonderful staff.”

“Good gym overall. I really like using the egym but I wish there were more machines. I am also hoping you get more new ellipticals. I like the addition of the body analysis machine. However, I agree with a previous review, the restrooms outside the locker rooms, for changing small children, are usually really gross during rec swim. Also, sometimes there are too many people at rec swim, making it hard to find space to swim.”
