Join us for a celebratory dinner of all God is doing at Water Street through people like you!
Celebrate God's Work in 2024
During Water Street’s Evening of Celebration, we’ll come together to celebrate all God is doing through Water Street and for those experiencing homelessness and poverty. We’ll also take time to celebrate four individuals who have gone above and beyond in how they care for hurting individuals in Lancaster.
Take A Unique Journey Through Water Street
Our Evening of Celebration is a time to connect with Water Street in a unique, once-in-a-year way. Enjoy food and fellowship, as well as a chance to take a journey through Water Street, it’s ministries, and the lives of those we serve.
You’ll see art installations from local artists and even poetry and art by guests of Water Street Mission themselves, all sharing the story of God’s restoration in our community.
See Your Mark On Our Community
This event is a way to celebrate Water Street, local changemakers, and the many lives being impacted in our community. But it’s also a celebration of you and how you make a difference to your neighbors, through praying, volunteering, giving, and more.
As a thank you, you’ll have the chance to interact with Water Street stories and see in a hands-on way how you are contributing to the lives of our guests.
This Year's Theme
What Does It Take to Walk Through the Door?
We all encounter doorways in our lifetime. Some are exciting to walk through, others daunting. We may wonder, How do we know if it’s the right one? What will we find on
the other side?
This exhibit and program focus on the bravery of walking through a new doorway, and how Water Street meets
people in spaces of vulnerability, with healing relationships and hope that lasts.
