This Sunday is Palm Sunday, the official start of Holy Week. I love our tradition of reading through the whole passion narrative starting with Jesus' entry into Jerusalem.

This Sunday we'll be led by our amazing students in every aspect of our worship service. The preachers will be reflecting on a well known and beloved passage from Philippians.

This weekend, we will join together to proclaim the good news of Christmas alongside our brothers and sisters. Ed will be preaching on an additional name of God, El Roi, which means "The God Who Sees."

Rev. Dr. Tharwat Wahba will be preaching from John 20:19-23 and reflecting on God's call on the Son and Jesus' corresponding call for us.

This coming Sunday is a very special day as well as we will be welcoming Pastor Samuel Adel, pastor of El Sharabia Presbyterian Church in Cairo, Egypt. We are blessed to be in a "sister congregation" relationship with El Sharabia, along with the Christian Arabic Church. Last spring, a group of us from Third and CAC were able to travel to Cairo to spend a week with Pastor Samuel and his congregation. It was a delightful visit and we are so thankful to be able to welcome Pastor Samuel, his wife Phoebe, and several other Egyptian friends to Third this weekend.

This Sunday, mission partner Pastor Leon Dorleans preaches on Acts 26:19-23, focusing on our calling to see the world as God sees the world, a world in need of Christ and his good news.

On Sunday, Elisabeth Hayes will be preaching on the same theme of the Local Missions conference, proximity.

This Sunday we’ll be hearing from Pastor Fakhri Yacoub, pastor of the Christian Arabic Church. Fakhri will be speaking about the current crisis in the Holy Land, and how we as Christians can faithfully pray for what is happening.

This Sunday, we’ll be coming back together after summer break to recommit to our life of following Jesus together. We’ll be looking at a familiar passage from the book of Acts and what it teaches us about living as a community that is seeking to pattern our own life after the life of Jesus.

This Sunday we’ll begin the journey of Holy Week together as we remember Jesus’ great act of suffering love for us.

This Sunday Corey focuses on the simple call to return to Christ, the one around whom our life is centered.

This Sunday, we'll wrap up our summer series "Taste and See" with the culminating image of food in the Bible: the wedding feast of the Lamb in Revelation 19.

The book of Ephesians is all about the new things God has done through the gospel, and in our text this Sunday we’ll focus on two of those things. First, the new life God has given us in Christ, second, the new community God has created through Jesus, which we can now participate in through the work of the Holy Spirit in us.

On this kickoff Sunday, we’ll look at the challenge and call to commit to community with one another, even in these difficult and isolating times.

This Sunday we’ll walk through a biblical understanding of work, both the goodness of work in God’s created order, the futility of work under the curse of sin, and how God calls us to use our work to advance his Kingdom and display his goodness.

This week we look at one of the miracles of Jesus and the powerful transformation he is offering to us to truly be able to see.

This Sunday we’ll look at hospitality and its importance as a spiritual practice.

This Sunday we’re privileged to hear from Fakhri Yacoub, pastor of our sister congregation the Christian Arabic Church. Fakhri will be preaching about the difference Jesus’ resurrection makes to help us overcome fear.

As we begin a new year, we look at God’s call to center our lives on the real meaning of life: to love God and to love our neighbors.

Join us this week as we hear from three of our church leaders, Mike Murchie, Listwella Donaldson and Nan Clarke, as they share some of their own journey walking with God in 2020.

Each year Third Church marks the beginning of Advent with our service of Lessons and Carols. This year we are offering an online experience to mark the start of this season. In a season marked by separation, pandemic and division, we have the opportunity to place ourselves in the story of God. Take one hour to slow down, to listen to Scripture that speaks of God’s power at work in the world, to sing the story of Jesus, and to prepare your heart to welcome our Savior.
