Sermon Preview:
“Behind the dim unknown” by Rev. Eugene Eastman
“The Church and the Call to Communion – … God made known in the reconciling work of Jesus Christ and the continuing activity of the Holy Spirit is the triune God who loves in freedom and who desires that we participate in that life of love. The God whose eternal life is the act of shared love enters into covenant with the people of Israel and through Jesus Christ opens this covenant to all people. God’s own life is in communion, and the end for which God created and reconciled the world is deep and abiding communion between God and creatures and a new life of reconciliation and communion among creatures.”
-- Faith Seeking Understanding: An Introduction to Christian Theology,

We will celebrate Communion this Sunday. Celebrating the sacrament on Zoom creates a challenge. If you are worshiping from home, we recommend that you prepare your own elements for communion – a cup of juice or wine; a piece of bread. We may trust that the holy mystery of the Living Christ among us which we affirm in Communion is great enough to transcend the limitations of our distance from one another in a Zoom meeting in this hybrid form of worship.
Hybrid Worship Continues This Sunday
We continue to live-stream our worship with the primary focus on delivering a complete service for people participating on Zoom.
Our Zoom services will originate from the library. People are welcome to come to church for worship, but no one should feel obligated to be personally present.
The entrance for worship during the renovation will be through the wooden doors on Maple Avenue. We respectfully ask that all those who have yet to be vaccinated including children wear masks in the church for their own health.
An announcement concerning summer worship at TPPC is available on our blog.
About Online Worship
We will gather by ZOOM (feed available starting about 9:45 AM).
Directions on how to connect and participate in virtual worship will be sent via a group.io e-mail. If you are unfamiliar with ZOOM we recommend you read up a little before the service. We will set an informal and experimental mood, ask forgiveness as we stumble along our way in a new medium. It will be fun.
