Thus begins the current mission statement of Takoma Park Presbyterian Church (TPPC). We are a small, but active church in Takoma Park, Maryland working for social justice from Silver Spring to Jinocuao, Nicaragua.
Our church is known as "a church for all people" because our congregation is made up of people of many races, cultures, occupations, ages, and sexual orientations.
We welcome all to join our worship on Sunday at 11 AM, our Sunday School classes for children and adults at 9:30 AM, and we welcome you here as well.
Note : starting June 6th, worship services will begin at 10 AM for the summer. There will be no Sunday School until the fall.
Our congregation isent the international Charter for Compassion to our denomination's General Assembly, and the General Assembly voted to become the first "mainline denomination" to sign on to the Charter.
A YouTube video on the charter is available. For more information, access the article on the Charter in TPPC News.
The Sunday School classes need your help to help children all over the world. On September 5, we will gather together again to assemble Church World Service School Kits. These kits give children in impoverished schools, refugee camps, or other difficult settings some of the basic tools for learning. Please take a look at the display and collection box in the window, in the back of the sanctuary.
To assemble a School Kit we need:
Yes—it is gleaning time again! What better way to celebrate the bounty of Mother Nature than to take the donated excess produce from our farmers market to Shepherds Table.
We need two-three volunteers to help on August 8th. It's a simple job- meet at 1:50 pm in front of Roscoe/Clock at the Takoma Park Farmers Market with plastic bags (some garbage-size also and boxes) and just ask the vendors for any extra food they are willing to donate to Shepherds Table. No hard sell, but most vendors will give us something. Then we deliver the food to the kitchen at Shepherds Table and their chef turns it into delicious food for over 100 people.
For more information contact gleaning@takomaparkpc.org.
Pastor Greiner invites you to join him in weekly mediation. You are welcome to come for sitting and walking meditation for 45 minutes. Discussion follows on a book about meditation; currently we are reading Pema Chodron's Comfortable with Uncertainty. The group is lead by the Still Water Mindfulness Practice Center, whose mission is to nurture all who wish to practice Mindfulness. Thich Nhat Hanh, a widely-known Vietnamese Buddhist monk, author and activist, is the key inspiration for this group.
For more information see the website; http://www.stillwatermpc.org/ or call Pastor Greiner at 301-270-5550.
