Christmas Eve @ PHPC

Kick-Off Sunday!

Join us as we begin an exciting new year at PHPC with Kick-Off Sunday! We’ll start with a Connection Fair in the Atrium at 10 a.m., where representatives from various interest and formation groups will be available to chat and answer your questions. Over in Jubilee Hall, one side will feature an introduction to this year’s theme at 10:10 and 10:30 a.m., along with an opportunity to purchase our guiding journal. On the other side, children will explore their new Sunday School classrooms as we officially launch Children’s Sunday School for the year! Please remember to wear your nametag on Sundays; it is helpful for new faces visiting! We look forward to new friendships and to growing deeper together in faith!

Church Season

Church Season is a six-week experience for families at PHPC to grow in faith and community. We’ll share dinner at 5:30, enjoy a short teaching, then parents join small groups while kids take part in VBS-style programming. By the end, families will know more about reading the Bible, kids will be excited to see their church friends, and our community will be stronger. The program costs $50 per family and is designed for households with a child in fourth grade or younger, with older kids welcome to help.

Advent @ PHPC

This Advent season, we invite you to explore the different lenses of love as we reflect on four expressions of God’s love: storge, phileo, agape, and incarnation. Advent is a season of love, friendship, and family, and we will see each of these reflected in these lenses of love. We have much to look forward to this season and we hope you will join us.

Lent Table Groups

After Crowded Table, many wanted a chance to meet people from the church who do not go to their service, are not in their Sunday School class, or are in a different life phase. Join us for a less crowded table over the six weeks of Lent. Table Groups will meet for lunch or dinner three times. The groups will be assigned and will stay the same, allowing you to deepen relationships. You will coordinate together whether you go out to dinner, host at home, or have a picnic. Fellowship, joy, and connection will abound. Use the button below to register.

Intergenerational Lent Workshop

You are invited to eat pancakes, enjoy fellowship with your church family, and make Lent resources for your home. Come pick up your Lent devotional and a prayer bead kit to be ready for the season!

Lent Enneagram Groups

Do you want to grow or desire to change, but aren’t sure where to start? Want to learn more about your core motivations—and understand why certain virtues are easier and certain vices stickier for you? Come explore the dimensions of the Enneagram, a personality framework, and how it can be used as a tool for growth and transformation—with the company of a small group. The short-term groups will be hosted by members and will use Suzanne Stabile’s The Journey Towards Wholeness Workbook to guide the conversation for six weeks. Please sign up on Realm or the website by February 2.

Formation Bible Study

We invite you to an 11-week Bible study of the Gospel of John, using the short-term Disciple Bible Study Invitation to John. Space is limited. To sign up, use the link below. The cost is $15 for the participant guide. You will also need a study Bible for the class (NRSV translation is recommended).
