First Sunday in Lent February 21, 2021


A NOTE FROM THE PASTOR
​February 18, 2021

The Great Ends of the Church
“The Maintenance of Divine Worship”
 
“Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise.”
(Psalm 84:4)
 
This Sunday will be the first Sunday in the Season of Lent. As I wrote in a recent email for Ash Wednesday and in the February Guidepost newsletter, I will be preaching a sermon series for Lent on the Great Ends (purposes) of the Church. This Sunday’s sermon will lift up The Maintenance of Divine Worship. Our Old Testament reading from Psalm 84 speaks of the joy and privilege of gathering in the Lord’s house for worship. “For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live in the tents of wickedness.” (vs. 10) Our New Testament reading from Colossians 3 lifts up the character and Christian values formed and shaped in worship. “…clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience…forgive each other, just as the Lord has forgiven you…clothe yourselves with love.” (vss. 12-14) And our Colossians reading ends with a summary of the content or parts of our worship. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly (reading of scripture); teach and admonish one another in all wisdom (preaching and children’s sermons); and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God (singing in worship).” Finally, our reading ends with a charge to go out into the world, a charge you have probably heard me use in worship. “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (vs. 17)
I hope you will join us for worship this Sunday and every Sunday in the Season of Lent. I hope you will receive my sermon as preparation for our work of seeking a vision for our church’s future and the kind of pastor GPPC needs. Come and listen to my sermon titled “Passionate Worship.

In Christ’s Service,
 
David Cagle
Interim Pastor



COVID-19 Funeral Policy for GPPC
               The policy regarding funeral/memorial services at Guilford Park has been approved by the Session. For the moment, during this COVID-19 crisis, we will have graveside or Columbarium services only, with attendance by family members – currently 25 or fewer people. We will have community memorial services at a later date.
            This policy seems to be consistent with the policies of local funeral homes, like Forbis/Dick and Hanes/Lineberry. They generally recommend either no visitation or limited visitation; graveside services with the family or in small groups; and live streaming services from the funeral home chapel, again noting the current 10 or fewer indoors, and 50 or fewer outdoors policy of the state.

Some Church Staff's emails have been forged and made to look like they are coming from the actual person. Please do not click on any links or reply to any requests for money or gift cards. Church staff will never ask for money / gift cards via email. Should there be any questions please contact the church office.
