On Saturday, May 5, at 7pm in the evening we celebrated the Ordination Service for Beth McKinney who has been a member of TPCC since she was a child and which gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, “bloom where you are planted.”  Our small church has had the privilege of producing two ministers who have grown up here and we are very proud of both of them.  We had the honor of having seven members of the clergy officiating at the service, which was meaningful and lovely.  Afterwards, approximately 100 family, friends, church members and associates gathered in Memorial Hall for a reception honoring this wonderful occasion.

On Saturday, April 21, we celebrated Community Day at TPCC.  Community Day is the gathering of local area (DC and Baltimore) ICCC churches for a day of volunteerism, fun and camraderie.  We had many activities:  Line dancing instruction, Games for young people, Prayer group in the Eternity Garden, a Crafts table that featured a variety of clever items, a Beautification table where seeds and seedlings were given away, the putting together of gift bags of useful items for individuals at care-giving facilities and the homebound , an improvised Miracle Mini Choir that beautifully entertained the gatherees with several songs, various groups putting the theme of the day “Christmas at Springtime,” a poem written by Koko Wittenburg, one of the co-chairs of the event into other media: recitation, stepping and mime.  All in all it was a wonderful day!
