Peace I Leave with You by Giacomo Perti
Peace I leave with you. My peace I leave with you. Let not your heart be troubled; do not be afraid. I am the way, the truth, the life. Let not your heart be troubled. Peace...my peace I give to you.
Peace I leave with you. My peace I leave with you. Let not your heart be troubled; do not be afraid. I am the way, the truth, the life. Let not your heart be troubled. Peace...my peace I give to you.
A NOTE FROM THE PASTOR
April 8, 2021
“Peace Be With You”
“When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’” (John 20:19)
“Peace be with you.” We say it all the time in the church, “Peace be with you.” It sounds nice. It is a pleasant greeting. But have you ever really thought about what it means or why we say this to each other in the church? Folks, it is more than just a pleasant greeting or a nice-sounding thing to say. In the narrative context in which Jesus offers these words, our Risen Lord is proclaiming a whole new reality. This is the “evening” of the first Easter, and Jesus says to those frightened disciples gathered together behind locked doors, “Peace be with you.”
Would you like to know more about this peace that Jesus offers? Then join us for worship this Sunday on YouTube.
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.
