After being completely closed for many weeks, Discovery Place is now open on a limited basis. We will not have regular office hours for the remainder of the summer, but we will be checking and responding to emails and phone messages regularly. Since most of the staff in the Conference Office are continuing to work remotely, Discovery Place will remain closed to walk-in visitors until at least September 1, 2020.
As classes and small groups resume meeting, take advantage of the fact that many folks are eager for fellowship. We encourage you to submit requests for materials. You may call us at 717-766-7968, email us at discovery@susumc.org, or place an order through our online catalog on our website: www.discovery-place.org. Your order will be sent as soon as possible upon receipt of your request. Please continue to check the Discovery Place website for further scheduling updates, as changes may occur throughout the summer.
As many folks are dealing with fear, anxiety, and stress in these uncertain times, here are some suggestions of resources that may be helpful for your group. We have multiple copies of each of these on hand.

To read descriptions of these resources, go to the online catalog at www.discovery-place.org, and search by title or author. Clicking on the DVD number will enable you to read a summary of each study. If you are interested in a study on a particular subject or for a particular age group, use the “advanced search” feature and search by subject using the drop-down menu. You can place an order directly from that search by clicking on the resource number to bring up the description, and then clicking “add to cart.”
I look forward to serving you in the weeks and months ahead!
