NEWS & EVENTS

November 1 of each year is All Saint’s Day. Traditionally, in years such as this year, when November 1 is not on a Sunday, we here at PHPC have commemorated All Saints with sharing of the Lord’s Supper together on the first Sunday following November 1. This year that’s this coming Sunday, November 2. We toll the bell in special rememberance of those in our church family who have died during the year gone by. However, no PHPC members have died this past year. On the other hand, given that this will be our last All Saints commemoration together at PHPC, it will be a good time for remembering those who died in previous years and whom we’ll be carrying with us in our hearts into our merge with Westover Hills Presbyterian Church.
We practice open communion. This means that you do not have to be a member of this or any other Presbyterian chuch in order to share the Lord’s Supper with us.
The next sack-lunch gathering of the Cinephiles, a cinema-loving group, will be Thursday, November 13from 11:00a.m. to 1:00p.m. The will be watching The Thing from another world. This is a 1951 film starring James Arness as The Thing, with Margaret Sheridan and Kenneth Tobey. Artic researchers discover a huge, frozen space-ling inside crash-landed UFO, then fight for their lives after the murderous being emerging from icy captivity.
In October 2021, Ruskin published a book of sermons entitled, Metanoia and Other Sermons. The book can be ordered through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Wordsworth. You can find more information about the book at this link: Metanoia and Other Sermons
Unless otherwise designated, money given to our church is placed in what we call the General Fund, through which we cover our regular operating and mission expenses. We also have two special funds through which we fund our work. They are: the Cliff and Audie Lee Jones Ministry Fund, for helping people in financial crisis toward courage, hope, and new opportunity; and the Building Fund, for tending to our building, grounds, and furnishings beyond regular upkeep and maintenance. To donate to these special funds, simply note on your check or envelope the fund you are giving to or you can donate through our website (click the “Donations” button).
