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.

PPC Summer Singers
Do you have a couple Sundays this summer where you will not be laying on the beach praising God for sunlight, ocean breezes, and sand? Do you like to sing, but cannot attend a mid-week rehearsal? Well then, Come join the Summer Singers of Paoli Presbyterian Church. What are the Summer Singers? We are a group of people who will offer special music at the 8:30 worship service this summer. We will meet at 8:10 am in the Choir Room to rehearse a hymn tune or easy anthem and offer it up to the Lord during the service. There will be no mid-week rehearsal to join this group, we will not sit in the choir loft during the service, and it will be to HOT for choir robes! How more laid back can you be unless your on the beach itself?
If you are interested in raising your voice to the Lord in song this summer, please contact Jonathan Kreamer Where do you find him? Better check the beach in Ocean City, NJ or the organ bench!
