PPC and Cornerstone Christian Academy Benefit Concert May 2, 2008 PPC and Cornerstone Christian Academy Benefit Concert- Unity in Christ through song, dance, prayer, and new friends The PPC church sanctuary was alive on Friday night with beautiful songs of praise and worship! Cornerstone Christian Academy's Voices in Praise choir collaborated with The Paoli Presbyterian Church Youth and Cherub choirs to put on an amazing benefit concert for friends, family, and partners. The evening began with a selection from the PPC choirs. After a video presentation on CCA's ministry, dancers from Rodgers Creative Movement for Christ performed, followed by a selection from CCA's Voices in Praise Choir. The evening concluded with "Hail Jesus, You're My King", performed by both choirs. Cornerstone would like to thank all those who attended and those who gave towards the Love Offering for our continued ministry in Southwest Philadelphia. We are truly blessed to be partners with PPC and look forward to new ways to partner together in the future. For more information about Cornerstone, please visit www.cornerstonephiladelphia.com
Bone Marrow Registry: A Success! March 9, 2008 WAY TO GO PPC DONATORS! I received a wonderful email on Monday (March 10) from Lynne Sampson, Director of the local chapter of the National Assistance Transplant Donation organization, thanking PPC for a great response to the Bone Marrow Donor program. Over 50 people completed the necessary forms and the test swab! Who knows a little swab and ten minutes of your time could save a life! Thanks to all of you that helped with this outreach project for a special need and a special thanks to Ron & Terri Siggs who "captained" and championed this program.Once again PPC goes the extra mile as we walk together toward the cross and Easter.--Dr. Churchill
Harry Potter Visited PPC! (well, sort of) February 2, 2008 What could be more exciting than a handful of Berti Bots' Every Flavored Beans? Why- being involved in a Harry Potter dialogue with Professor John Granger http://www.hogwartsprofessor.com/ of Allentown, Pa., of course! Professor Granger used his deep knowledge of classical literature and his great sense of humor to add some "delicious" ideas and some very interesting thoughts to our understanding of the the Christian principles within the Potter novels.All together, we had 102 interested minds join us (PPC, Trinity Presbyterian, and community) and we had a great evening as John applied the classical position of alchemey (a literary formula of red, black & white) and even the Passion of Christ to illuminate "hidden" aspects of the Potter stories. As one of our elders said, "Granger was awesome!
