Who needs cake when you can have cookie dough? 🍪🎉

Our crew at Pathway Person-Centered Program York celebrated a birthday the sweetest way possible — with a full-on edible cookie dough party!
Because sometimes God gives you a reason to celebrate… and sometimes He throws in cookie dough just for fun. 😉
Chocolate Chips, laughter, and joy all around — proof that birthdays are better when shared with friends (and a little extra sweetness). 💛

Now that’s what we call a blessed celebration!

Ash Wednesday is a quiet invitation to slow down, reflect, and draw closer to God. It reminds us that life is fragile, grace is abundant, and hope is always within reach.

No matter where you are in your journey, today is a beautiful opportunity to lay down burdens, refocus your heart, and remember that you are deeply loved. May this season lead us gently toward renewal, humility, and a deeper trust in the One who makes all things new. 🤍

Our Pathway Person-Centered Program York friends kept it classy and competitive last week! 🛍️🎳

They started the day antiquing at American Daydream Antiques & Miscellanea — hunting for hidden treasures and maybe a few “what IS that?” moments — then rolled straight into bowling where the real personalities came out. Let’s just say… there may have been some very serious lane-side rivalries 😄

From vintage finds to flying pins, it was a full day of laughs, fun, and unforgettable memories. And honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. 💛

Our Pathway Person-Centered York crew recently stepped out for a little culture and color at the York Art Association 🎨✨
From bold paintings to creative sculptures, our friends soaked it all in — and of course added plenty of laughter along the way. We love opportunities like this that spark creativity, build confidence, and make beautiful memories together.

Moments like these remind us that God is the ultimate Creator — and we see His creativity shining through each of our precious friends in the most beautiful ways. 💛

Sometimes ministry looks like celebration days and smiling photos… and sometimes it looks like unexpected repairs and quick pivots.

Back in January, we had to temporarily close our Jackie's House for a few days due to an unexpected repair. That meant our precious residents had to be out of their home — their safe, familiar space. These beautiful ladies never left our oversight. They remained with our trusted staff the entire time, surrounded by familiar faces, somewhat steady routines, and the same love and dignity they experience every day. Their safety, comfort, and well-being were — and always will be — our highest priority. While our team worked quickly to make things right, it came with real costs: hotel stays, meals on-the-go, lost revenue and the repair itself.

Moments like these remind us that what we do together truly matters. Your generosity allows us to respond immediately when emergencies arise — ensuring our friends are safe, cared for, and surrounded by love no matter what.

We are so grateful for your continued prayers, encouragement, and support. If you feel led to help strengthen the foundation that carries us through both the joyful days and the unexpected ones, we would be deeply thankful for your donation.

Thank you for standing with us. ❤️

🍫✨ Warning: excessive smiles may be caused by Hershey's Chocolate World!
Our friends from Pathway Person-Centered Program York recently visited Chocolate World and had an absolute blast! There may have been chocolate, laughter, and very serious quality control happening. 😉

We had such a wonderful morning joining Mrs. Paulette Teague at the Church of the Open Door Women's Breakfast this morning. Paulette shared her heart and her journey with Jessica, and how God has used Jessica’s life in such powerful ways—leading to the WINGS program at COD and Jessica & Friends Community.

It was one of those mornings that fills your cup: good food, meaningful fellowship, new connections, and a beautiful reminder that God is always at work, often in ways greater than we can imagine. We’re so grateful to be part of this story and to witness His goodness through it all. ✝️✨

If you’ve been encouraged by Jessica’s story, or are interested in learning more, we invite you to read the book written by Dr. & Mrs. Teague, "Jessica’s Story, But God!" sold through Amazon (link in story!) It’s a powerful testimony of faith, hope, and God’s redeeming hand at work. All proceeds go to further the mission of Jessica & Friends Community.

🎉 We’re celebrating Jodi Abbott! 🎉

Jodi has been a treasured part of our Jessica & Friends Community family for 4 years and currently serves as a Lead DSP in our Home & Community program. Originally from Arizona, Jodi came to us after faithfully caring for her husband through his illness and loss—a season that clearly shaped her servant heart.
Today, that same love shines through in her dedicated work with four of our precious friends in the Hanover area, who she absolutely adores—and the feeling is completely mutual. They see Jodi as family and especially love the time they spend together out in the community.
Outside of work, Jodi looks forward to her annual trip with her sister—and this year they’re headed to Hollywood, CA! She also cherishes time with her three children and five grandchildren, who bring her so much joy. Jodi’s creative side shines through her love of crafting, especially making greeting cards, and she has beautifully invited our precious friends to help her create cards as part of our Card Ministry—turning creativity into connection and encouragement.
Jodi often shares that when she was handed a Bible at the end of her interview here at Jessica & Friends Community, she knew instantly she was exactly where God wanted her to be. Here, she feels known, valued, and deeply cared for—and we feel incredibly blessed to have her walking out her faith through service each day.
Please join us in thanking God for Jodi and celebrating the beautiful impact she makes through her work and her heart! 💛🙌
