Lenten Discussion Series
Join Us! Sundays in the Finney Room at 11:30
At FPCG, Lent has traditionally been marked by provocative series intended to stretch participants’ understanding of the Christian faith in our lives and culture so that we might experience the resurrection power of Christ more fully in our individual and communal lives.
This year, Rev. Porter will be leading a study of a report and recommendations unanimously adopted by our denomination, the PC(USA), at the last General Assembly entitled “Gun Violence, Gospel Values: Mobilizing in Response to God’s Call” The resolution calls congregations to participate in grassroots faith-based activism to prevent the deaths of so many who die or are injured by guns each year.
As you may know, FPCG is a founding member of Northwest Partners to End Gun Violence an organization seeking to put these gospel values into action in Philadelphia. You can get a copy of the report from the literature table or by going to the Presbytery
of Philadelphia’s website, www.presbyphl.org and clicking the link entitled “GA Report on Gun Violence: Gun Violence, Gospel Values” on the home page.
Then join Rev. Porter after worship on April 17 in the Finney Room for a provocative discussion on this timely topic.
