Doylestown Presbyterian Church

Verse three of the hymn For All the Saints says: O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle; they in glory shine; yet all are one in thee, for all are thine. Alleluia! Alleluia! On Sunday we will thank God for those saints who entered God’s everlasting reign this past year. As the hymn affirms, we too affirm, “they in glory shine.” - Pastor Mac

Pastor Becca continues our series on Five Truths for your life, discussing “Your Life Is Not About You.” As we look at Paul’s letter to the Galatians, we will center around questions of belonging - and ask ourself: do I matter?

"As we prepare for Sunday Worship, here is some wisdom from Richard Rohr: 'When you set yourself up to think you deserve, expect, or need something to happen, you are setting yourself up for constant unhappiness and a final inability to enjoy or at least allow what is going to happen anyway.' We’ll be talking about the truth: that we are not in control." - Pastor Mac

"Here is a thought from Evelyn Underhill: 'The spiritual life does not mean a mere cultivation of one’s own soul, poking about our interior life with a torch. It is also intensely social; for it is a life shared with all others…Only when we recognize all this, and act on it, are we fully awake and taking our place in the connectedness of the spiritual realm.” So glad to be in community on this journey! - Pastor Mac

This Sunday we begin our sermon series on "The Five Truths"

"Greetings! This Sunday we begin a spiritual journey reflecting on what Matthew 6:21 means for us personally and communally as a church. We hope you’ll come on this journey of reflection. Let us start by praying, “Spirit, open my heart.” 

"I’m sure all of us can hear in our mind's eye a child saying, 'That’s not fair! My sister got three scoops of ice cream and I got two!' This Sunday we deal with the topic of fairness through Matthew 20:1-16.

Our hymnal says, 'Christians meet for worship on the first day of the week, the day Christ Jesus rose from the dead.'  May we too be risen from the deadening things in our lives through the act of worship by the power of the Spirit." - Pastor Mac 

"We will look at Jonah chapter 1 and the question, “Will you pray for and seek to serve the people with imagination?” Our Presbyterian Directory of Worship reminds us: 'God acts with grace; we respond with gratitude. God claims us as beloved children;'" - Pastor Mac

"Happy Labor Day Weekend! This Sunday in worship we will continue our sermon series on the following question, Will you pray for and seek to serve the people with energy, imagination, intelligence and love? Our focus is on love this week. Take time to read 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. I find it particularly powerful in our culturally divisive times. See you in worship!" - Pastor Mac

"Come join in community this Sunday. We're exploring what it means to find our unity in being one with Christ, even with all our different gifts, uniqueness, and callings." - Pastor Becca
