Communion ScheduleYou are encouraged to take time before each scheduled Communion to reflect on the meaning of the Lord’s Supper for you, for PPC and for the world.
The “Directory for Worship” notes that “in preparing to receive Christ in this Sacrament, the believer is to confess sin and brokenness, to seek reconciliation with God and neighbor, and to trust in Jesus Christ for cleansing and renewal.”
As Presbyterians, we believe that coming to the Lord’s Table is not a right, but a privilege given to those who come in faith, repentance and love – the gifts of God for the people of God.
PEACEMAKING OFFERING
The Peacemaking theme this year is “ Proclaim Christ’s Peace.” What you’ve known as the Peacemaking Offering has been transformed into the “Peace & Global Witness Offering.” Be with us on October 1 as we celebrate World Communion Sunday and receive the Peace & Global Witness Offering Offering. On this day we join with Christians around the world to celebrate the unity that we find at the Table of the Lord. And we receive the Peace & Global Witness Offering to support the efforts of our congregation, our synod and presbytery, and our denomination to spread the peace of Christ in places near and far.
The money collected from the special offering will be divided with 25% staying locally while 75% goes to Presbyterian Church USA.UPCOMING WORSHIP SCHEDULE
