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.
TPPC has begun its summer worship schedule - worship will start at 10 AM from this Sunday through Labor Day.
Other upcoming worship events include:
About six times each year, several members of our congregation join DC Cares to cook a noon meal for the homeless at Saint Stephen and the Incarnation Church in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood of Washington, DC.
Loaves and Fishes provides a variety of services to homeless men, women, and families in the DC area, providing social service assistance as well as meals for people in need.
Our next Sunday to cook lunch is Sunday, July 26. We usually leave the church at about 9 AM to travel in a group to Saint Stephen's church and cook lunch there until a bit after 11 AM.
We usually have a few regular volunteers, but we could use a couple of people willing to help cook a meal.
If you're interested in cooking a meal for the Loaves and Fishes program at St. Stephen, please contact Brian Monsell at loavesandfishes@takomaparkpc.org by July 22nd.
Pastor Mark Greiner invites the community to a Brown Bag Bible Study every Wednesday at Noon in the Parlor of the Takoma Park Presbyterian Church.
Participants are asked to read the week's gospel passage with Pastor Greiner. The group will meet each Wednesday from February through May.
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.
