UPCOMING COMMUNION SCHEDULE
You are encouraged to take time before each 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.

@ 10:05 a.m.COME AND WORSHIP @ COUNTY FAIR
PPC has been invited to lead the ecumenical worship service at the Columbia County Fairgrounds on Sunday, July 29.The service will begin @ 11:00 a.m.
Please note the change in time for this Sunday!We will be near the "animal barns" for the service. Not sure where "that" is - don't worry! We will have people there to "direct" everyone to the right place.
You are asked, if possible, to bring your own chair or blanket.
As people come for the worship service, we will have "fellowship treats" available. If you would like to donate toward this "fellowship time" check out the sign-up sheet in Parry Hall.
A couple of notes about "transportation" ... If you have room for others to travel down to the Fairgrounds with you, please let us know. We would encourage "carpools" for the day. Let us know if you would have room and we will try to let others know. For those who may be concerned about parking a distance away and having to walk ... we have arranged for "transport" from parking lots to the worship area (and back after worship).
What an exciting opportunity we have been given to share the "good news" to all of God's creatures - and to be ambassadors of the grace and love of God for all.
And what a wonderful chance we have to let others know what we know - that being a part of the PPC community is great - because @ PPC is "a place for everybody!"
See you there!MINISTRY AND WORSHIP @ TIVOLI
PPC is blessed to provide a monthly worship service at Tivoli.
We have found that our worship service is one of the better attended worship times – and that is great news!
We are looking for additional people to come and help get people to and from the chapel.
You will have the opportunity to share in a special worship experience as well as being able to interact with some very nice people. Chaplain Monica remarks how much the residents enjoy having people come and share worship with them.
If you could help with this ministry once in a while, contact Pastor Dave.
NOTE! We share worship on the THIRD Monday in July - July 16th ... & on the THIRD Monday in August - August 20 ... @10:00 a.m.UPCOMING WORSHIP SCHEDULE
