"All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades when the Lord blows on it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever."

Isaiah 40:6-8

GENEVA COLLEGE CHOIR CONCERT 03/09

We are pleased to welcome the Genevans, the choir of Geneva College (RPCNA) in Beaver Falls, PA, for a concert in Telfair Hall THIS Thursday, March 9, at 6:30pm. We have some part in the legacy of the RPCNA, as our Trinity Psalter draws heavily from their Book of Psalms for Singing. The choir’s program will include numerous Psalm settings (103, 145, 46, and 96, to name a few), classic works by Palestrina and Rachmaninoff, and much more. Admission is free (though donations are accepted to help defray the choir’s travel expenses), and families are most welcome.

BIBLE READING PLAN FOR 2023

For 2023, we will offer the Navigator's Book-at-a-Time Bible reading plan. Hard copies will be available on Sundays and in the church office; you can use the provided pdf as well. We are also working to implement this reading plan in our IPC app for your smartphone or tablet. In the year ahead, ask God each day to speak directly to you from the Scripture portions you read. Be expectant, and let your continual exposure to God’s Word reshape your attitudes and behavior as you gain a better understanding of every part of His written testimony to us.
