Presbyterians Read Advent 2021 Book Study
|
|

In Advent 2021, Presbyterians across the country are invited to join a study on Adam Hamilton’s Incarnation: Rediscovering the Significance of Christmas.
In this book, Adam Hamilton explores the why and to what end questions of the Incarnation (i.e., Why would God come to us in Jesus? What was the purpose of the Incarnation? How are we meant to respond to the Incarnation, to God’s coming to us in Jesus, today?) and reflects on the significance of Jesus’ incarnation to our lives and world.

Learn About and Get Involved in Cyclical PCC
|
|
|
Cyclical PCC, a church-planting support initiative, is designed to encourage presbyteries and individuals within the denomination to take first steps towards beginning new worshipping communities.
New worshipping communities are innovative and creative expressions of ministry that are responsive to the work of the Holy Spirit. These ministries take many forms—dinner churches, sports ministries, house churches, traditional church plants, café ministries—but what they hold in common is that they are focused on Word and Sacrament, reaching new disciples and calling people to walk with Jesus.
