An Extra-Ordinary Time

This is the season when we welcome in summer and it is also the time when, in the church, we welcome the season of Ordinary Time. 

Ordinary Time is ordinary as it is not part of our special liturgical seasons which lead up to our Holy Days of Christmas and Easter.  When we think of what happens ordinarily in the church we should be focusing on those things which will renew and grow our ministry and mission together. Ordinary things can sometime seem so mundane that we ignore them and thus stifle growth and renewal. 

During this season of Ordinary Time let each of us pay attention to some ordinary ways we might participate in strengthening our church life.

One way we build up the Body of Christ is through our care for one another. If you know of a concern regarding one of our church members or friends (or your own), please let us know. Did you know that there is a list of persons for whom we are all asked to remember in our prayers?  This list is updated weekly and can be found on the literature table outside of the west transcept of the sanctuary. You can call the church office or our , with concerns.

Anniversary Timeline

Have you seen the newly installed timeline that has been mounted in the Narthex of our sanctuary?

As part of our 200th anniversary celebration, Drew and Leah Hood, with the help of many others, developed a visual outline of the two centuries of ministry and mission of The First Presbyterian Church in Germantown. 

To put our church history in context, this time line also chronicles what was happening during the same time in the world, nationally and locally. 

Be sure to visit the church Narthex to view this new addition to our church building, and give yourself some time to see the pictures and read the stories.
