SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\n\nNew Perspective\nBeing a disciple requires an expansive perspective on forgiveness. Today our perspective is broadened by the good news that God’s forgiveness is not based on our idea of fairness\, but rather on abundant\, unimaginable grace. God “[has] not dealt with us according to our sins\, nor repaid us according to our iniquities” (Ps. 103:10). The king forgives our entire debt\, no matter how enormous it is (Matt. 18:23-27). We also are challenged to stretch our perspective and forgive each other. With Peter\, we learn to stop keeping score (Matt. 18:21-22). \nIt’s not an easy thing to do. Again and again we fall back on limited human understandings of what is “fair.” Looking at the story of Joseph and his brothers\, it’s easy for us to say that his brothers really didn’t deserve forgiveness. Even their plea for forgiveness is dishonest and manipulative—have they really repented (Gen. 50:15-17)? Joseph takes the wider view and realizes that it isn’t his brothers’ intentions that matter\, but God’s. God’s forgiveness is much greater than what is fair\, what we deserve. \nSo what does this new\, broadened perspective look like in the lives of Christians and congregations? Paul provides a pragmatic glimpse: “Those who eat must not despise those who abstain\, and those who abstain must not pass judgment on those who eat\, for God has welcomed them” (Rom. 14:3). If all are truly welcomed by God\, we are called to share the good news of that welcome in all we say and do. \n\n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Adult Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:Adult Bible Study\nAre you looking for a meaningful way to engage with scripture and connect with others on the journey of faith? Our ongoing Bible Study at Perry Highway Lutheran Church is the perfect opportunity to do just that—no matter where you are on your spiritual path. \nAt PHLC\, we believe Bible Study isn’t about having all the answers or being a “Bible expert.” Instead\, it’s about creating a welcoming space where curiosity is encouraged and every voice matters. Together\, we open the scriptures with honesty and humility\, asking real questions\, sharing life experiences\, and exploring how these ancient words continue to speak into our modern lives. Faith\, after all\, grows best in conversation. \nEach gathering is a blend of thoughtful reflection and genuine connection. Some weeks we find ourselves laughing together; other weeks we wrestle with challenging passages or tough questions about life\, justice\, and hope. Always\, we seek to listen deeply—to scripture\, to one another\, and to the movement of God in our everyday lives. This is a place where doubts are not feared\, stories are honored\, and grace is practiced. \nWhether you’ve been attending church for many years\, are returning after time away\, or are simply curious about scripture and faith\, you are truly welcome here. You don’t need prior knowledge\, special preparation\, or the “right” answers. Just bring your authentic self and an open heart. \nOur Bible Study community is grounded in encouragement and support\, helping one another discern how to live out a grace-filled\, compassionate life in the real world—at work\, at home\, and in our wider community. \nBest of all\, you can join us virtually\, making it easy to participate wherever life finds you. If you’re seeking connection\, thoughtful conversation\, and a deeper engagement with scripture\, we would love for you to be part of this journey with us. \nTo join virtually\, email Pastor Ryan at pastor@phlc.org for the link.

SUMMARY:Film Club
DESCRIPTION:Film Club\nFilm Club is getting together again\, and everyone is invited to join us for our next movie and discussion! We will meet over lunch on Sunday\, September 13th\, to watch A Serious Man (2009)\, a darkly humorous film from acclaimed filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen. \nThe film follows Larry Gopnik\, a physics professor whose life begins to unravel as he faces a series of unexpected personal\, professional\, and family challenges. As Larry searches for answers and tries to make sense of everything happening around him\, the film explores questions of faith\, uncertainty\, family\, morality\, and the sometimes absurd nature of life. There will be plenty to think about—and plenty to talk about! \nAfter watching the film\, we will gather again on Sunday\, October 4th\, which is also the day of our blood drive\, to discuss A Serious Man together. This gives everyone some time to reflect on the movie before we come together to share thoughts\, observations\, questions\, and different perspectives. \nFilm Club is a great opportunity to enjoy a good movie while also getting to know one another through thoughtful conversation and fellowship. Whether you are a longtime film enthusiast or simply enjoy watching an interesting movie and discussing it with others\, you are welcome to participate. \nSo\, mark your calendars for September 13th for the movie and October 4th for our discussion. We hope you can join us for this month’s selection and be part of the conversation! \nCome watch\, think\, laugh\, and discuss with us—because sometimes the best part of a movie is the conversation that follows.
