SUMMARY:Worship Service - Virtual Only
DESCRIPTION:Due to Weather\, this service will be virtual only on our Facebook page.\nA New Way to Follow\nNations wage war\, gangs battle each other\, families quarrel\, communities of faith divide. We hear others say and even hear ourselves saying\, “There is no other way.” \nIn Jesus\, the light of Gods kingdom draws near and a new way shines for us to follow. \nIn today’s gospel\, Jesus first withdraws (Matt. 4:12). The word anachoreo (to withdraw) is used ten times in Matthew’s gospel—each time as Jesus’ response to violence or conflict. John the Baptist has been arrested\, and tension is beginning to build. The way of God and the way of the world’s rulers are beginning to collide. \nIn Jesus\, a new kingdom has drawn near\, a kingdom of nonviolence and non-retaliation. Jesus’ withdrawal is not simply passivity but points to a vision of an alternate way of reigning as king. Jesus rules not with violence\, abusive power\, or through division but through voluntarily emptying himself of power\, identifying with the oppressed and burdened\, and healing that which is broken. Into this new reign\, Jesus calls the disciples to follow him\, a way that appears foolish and weak to those who cannot discern it. To those God calls\, it is the wisdom and strength\, the light and power of God. \nTo follow in the way of Jesus places one’s life at risk\, for it eventually leads to the cross. To follow\, though\, implies someone is leading. The way God calls us to follow has already been filled with the loving kindness and mercy of Jesus who has gone before us and who leads us to the foot of the cross. There\, in the shadow of the cross\, God makes a way for unity in the midst of division\, for healing in the midst of brokenness\, for peace in the midst of violence\, for forgiveness in the midst of betrayal. Around the table\, the kingdom of God draws near; Jesus’ broken body announces forgiveness\, healing\, peace\, and unity. Many bodies are nourished and formed into the one body of Christ\, called and sent to follow in the way of Jesus\, to be broken and shed for the sake of the world. \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:CANCELLED! Film Club Views "The Truman Show"
DESCRIPTION:Film Club Event\nDue to weather\, this event is cancelled and will be rescheduled.  \nPHLC invites you to join us on Saturday\, January 24 at 7:00 pm for an engaging evening with our Film Club\, featuring a screening of The Truman Show. This thought-provoking and imaginative film stars Jim Carrey in a memorable dramatic role and explores powerful themes of identity\, freedom\, truth\, and what it means to live an authentic life. \nAt first glance\, The Truman Show appears lighthearted and humorous\, but as the story unfolds it raises deeper questions about control\, community\, and the ways our lives are shaped by forces we may not always recognize. Truman Burbank’s journey invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences: How do we define reality? What does it take to step beyond fear and the expectations placed upon us? Where do we find the courage to seek truth\, even when it feels uncomfortable? \nOur Film Club gatherings are designed to be welcoming\, relaxed\, and meaningful. Following the viewing\, we’ll share insights\, ask questions\, and explore the film’s themes together. You don’t need to be a film expert to participate—just bring your curiosity and willingness to listen and reflect. These discussions often connect the movie’s messages to faith\, daily life\, and our shared human experiences. \nWhether you’ve seen The Truman Show before or are discovering it for the first time\, this evening promises laughter\, reflection\, and thoughtful conversation. Friends\, family members\, and newcomers are always welcome\, so feel free to invite someone to join you. \nCome enjoy a movie night with purpose\, connection\, and conversation at PHLC. We look forward to seeing you on January 24 at 7:00 pm!
