Welcome from Reverend Dr. Jeffrey Jones
‘Ecclesia’. That is the Latin word for congregation. It means that each congregation is more than a simple gathering. It is an event of God’s grace. We believe God has called us together here in Harmony Evangelical Presbyterian Church to know and share His grace in Jesus Christ. Perhaps God is calling you to be part of His church. We would love for you to come and discern your call with us. Only together can we be the Ecclesia of God.
Worship
"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received:
that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he
appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve."
If we worship in faith, he will appear to the heart of faith, and
we will know that what we have received is true and we are
called to proclaim it.
~ The scripture lesson for Sunday, July 28, will be 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.
The sermon title for Sunday, July 28, will be "Apostolic Faith."
~ Next Sunday, August 4, is a communion Sunday. ~
Please prepare your hearts to receive the gifts of the Lord's Table.
~ Our Directory for Worship in the EPC states:
"The people are to prepare themselves
by the examination of their inner spiritual life,
of their present relationship to Christ,
to confess and repent of known sins,
to forgive those who have offended them,
to pray earnestly for the renewing grace of the Holy Spirit,
and to draw near with
a true heart in the full assurance of faith."
