INTERN KATLYN – After twelve long and amazing weeks, I have officially completed my internship with WJTL. This experience has been one of the most memorable and rewarding in my college career. I have learned many great lessons and skills that I know will help me as I endeavor to finish out my last year at college and for my “Future in Radio” (Nudge Nudge. Read On! Nudge Nudge).

During my time at WJTL, I have had many different opportunities in and out of the office. As a good chunk of my internship, I was in charge of this summer’s Bumper Sticker Contest. It has taught me responsibility and leadership of how to handle a given task for a long period of time. The greatest part about running the contest was receiving letters from winners who were encouraged by our contest. After seeing all of those, I knew I had done a great job!

One of thing I had the most fun with was working live remote events. These events included the Seretoma Chicken BBQ, Lancaster Barnstormers Game, Kids Cookie Break events, and my favorite, Creation Festival 2015. I enjoy getting to meet listeners and hearing how WJTL blesses them. It’s always nice to talk to listeners in person. It is so nice to hear that they listen to me on the morning show as well!

Speaking of the morning show, one of the most memorable parts of my internship was being on the Get Up and Go show with Fred and Lisa on Tuesday mornings. They have been a joy to be around and I have learned so much from them. I loved being on the air and can see myself pursuing this as a “Future Job” (Nudge Nudge).

Though my journey as an intern is complete, my journey with WJTL is just beginning!! Starting this month, I will be joining the WJTL team as an on-air DJ! I will be your DJ Sunday afternoon’s from 12-4. I am super excited to be a part of the team and continuing to work with WJTL in the future!

As well as being a new WJTL DJ, I will be finishing my senior year at Lebanon Valley College as Music Business major. I have many great groups that I am going to be a part of as well. I will be this year’s Baritone Section Leader for the Pride of the Valley marching band, taking many different classes, participating in the jazz band for the first time in four years, and my favorite, being the President of the Vale Music Industry Conference!

I am so thrilled to be starting my senior year of college and joining this amazing team at WJTL. To hear more about my time here at WJTL, check out my new blog under my name, Katlyn Jumper, where I will be telling you more about what I will be doing here at WJTL. Don’t forget to tune in on Sunday’s from 12-4! Hope to hear from you and maybe see you at our future WJTL events!

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Connection, today’s Encounter with Jesus examines one of the parables He taught from Luke 14.

“A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ But they all alike began to make excuses. One said, “I just bought a field, another I just bought oxen, another, I just got married.”

The invitations went out, but the invited guests had other priorities. Parables are stories about the kingdom of God. Jesus is talking about the great banquet that God is preparing for His people in heaven. Yet, when the value of this invitation is not fully appreciated, we tend to make excuses for not accepting this invitation. We have business to run. We have plans to make. We have places to go, and people to see.

But if we stop and consider the treasure of His grace, and how His love brings refreshment to our soul, and restoration with God, the incentive for saying “Yes” outweighs our excuses for saying “no.”

God’s grace continues to reach out with the simple invitation to come to Jesus, and to trust Him as Savior and Lord. He desires for His house to be full. There is room for you.

A daily connection with Christ leads to a celebration of His love and the eternal life that He gives.

STACEY GAGNE-   If you’re like me, you are still coming to terms with the fact that August is here.   But believe it or not; it’s Back to School season and just a few short weeks from Kids Cookie Break Fest 2015

KCB Fest has become a favorite annual event here at the Junction Center.  This one day festival being held on August 29th is a big hit with Kids Cookie Break fans and and also a great opportunity for families to reach out to neighbors and friends with kids under 12.  Music, games, inflatables, firetrucks, petting zoo, pedal cars, barrel train rides, and more are all offered for free during morning and afternoon sessions from 10am-2pm and 3pm-7pm.

Would you consider joining us and being part of the volunteer team this year?  We need help staffing all the fun areas of the festival.   There are a variety of jobs from parking and stage crew to ticket taking and selling merchandise or snacks.  Maybe you could help with a carnival game or drive a barrel train, pick up trash or help on stage crew.   Please consider joining us on this fun day. Check out our volunteer page and sign up to be a part of the team.

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Relationship-Building Principle comes from Second Corinthians 5:20.

“We are, therefore, Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.”

In political terms, an ambassador is on a diplomatic mission to build bridges of peace between the nation where he is sent and the nation he represents. An ambassador is called to be a voice for their leader. They serve in a foreign land. They do not have the authority to make their own policy or set their own agenda. Their responsibility is to follow the mission of their leader in a way that accurately reflects their leader’s views.

In spiritual terms, the Christian’s citizenship is in heaven, not here on earth. We are representing our king in a foreign land. We are on a peace mission while we live here. Our message to the world reflects the desire of Christ for the world. “Be reconciled to God.” Through faith in Jesus, we are made right with God, and our sins against Him are no longer counted against us.

Being an ambassador for Christ is a vital relationship-building principle to take to heart in the Year of Connection.
