TP and LC

Two short-term mission teams will be commissioned this Sunday. At 9:00 will be the Cambodia team, and at 11:00 the Turkey team.

Note the Tenth Press article which is a report by Kin Lam on his church planting efforts in South Philly among blue-collar Chinese immigrants. Kin is looking for helpers and hopes to start worship services in August.

I just edited another TP article that will appear August 7. It is by Ed Gross the pastor of Pilgrim Presbyterian Church in Roxborough. The church is OPC (Orthodox Presbyterian) but recently voted to enter the PCA in order to join the new city-wide presbytery forming in January. Grace Chapel, a small PCA church on Henry Avenue, voted last month to merge with Pilgrim. The plan is to move most of Pilgrim's congregation into Grace's facilities and then basically replant a church in Roxborough that will be more intentional in reaching the changing community.

On July 17 new members will be received. Take note of the 24th Living Church. Nada Ghattas will speak. She is the daughter of Nasrat and Afaf. Deaf and unable to speak (will use computer technology to speak), she is a delightful young woman with a strong faith and love for the Lord.
