Many at PHPC become people on the move during the summer. We take time to step away from the regular rhythms and find time to reflect, re-create, and rest. The gospel of Luke is often known as the “on the way” gospel. Jesus, the disciples, and those who take their first steps in following Jesus are always on the way. Together, we will come to know that God meets us on the way.
9 a.m. Contemporary Worship | 11 a.m. Traditional Worship
