Taking a Writing Break This Week
Read Core Values: Being Gospel-Centered Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6
Our First & Second Core Values
Gospel-Centered: We believe Jesus Christ is the central purpose of all Scripture, Christian discipleship, and the substance of both the Old & New Covenants. As a Church, we seek to teach the Scriptures as the whole counsel of God. The method of teaching we use in our public worship, in general, is expositional preaching with the Gospel as the lens.
Community-Oriented: We believe that God calls all believers to live in and submit to a local community of disciples, known in the New Covenant Scriptures as a church. In the church, believers build their most intimate relationships, seek guidance and wisdom for life decisions, and submit to accountability as they walk in the truth revealed in sacred Scripture.
Coming Next…
We trust you found Core Values: Being Gospel-Centered encouraging. Next week, we will explore our second Core Value: Being Community-Oriented. I am taking a little bit of a writing break this week.
We are also turning Core Values: Being Gospel-Centered into a video series. Once we complete the Core Values Series, we will offer a collection of essays and a set of videos for disciples to watch before joining SPCC as members.
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord!

Midweek Worship & Consistory Meeting
No Midweek Worship this week, however, there is a Consistory Meeting.
Consistory Assignment
The first hour 7:30-8:30 pm is dedicated additional learning and is open for all Heads-of-Households and young men to attend via Zoom. For the meeting on the 18th we are reading Chapter 2 of “Life Together” by Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Amazon link) and the Introduction through Chapter 2 in Calvin’s Short Treatise on the Lord’s Supper (Free E-Book on Monergism).
Paul writes in 1 Timothy 3: 1 that “The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task.” Men, if you desire to one day enter the Consistory as a deacon or elder, then attendance to this hour will be important for your development and for the Consistory to gauge your aspirations, gifts, and calling in the Lord.

Finally, come and worship with us on the Lord’s Day. We also meet on three Wednesday evenings a month for Catechism Lesson & Prayer. Another Visit our Homepage or What We Believe for more information. Find us on Google Maps or watch our sermons on Youtube.
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord!
