Welcome

Welcome!  Church is a place to find comfort, wrestle with the big questions, to make a difference, to encounter the presence of God.

Poolesville Presbyterian Church is in the business of making disciples of Jesus Christ.  Discipleship is a lifelong process so we welcome children, youth, adults, and the elderly alike. On Sundays we worhip together and hold Sunday School.

Throughout the week we gather for various reasons:  to serve food at the soup kitchen, to rehearse choir, to teach English as a second language, to care for those in need.

PPC is a small church with a lot going on. We treasure the human touch and we also embrace technology. Our newest venture epitomizes the connection of these two things, a cybercafé.  Connection Cafe: a ministry of hospitality connecting people to the Internet, to each other, and to God. We hope you'll stop by some Wednesday.

Our historic facilities are not large or impressive, but we do a lot with what we have.  We believe that above all else, we are called to be Jesus' hands and feet in a broken world.

We are always growing in faith, both as individuals and as a community.  Won't you join us?

May God's peace rest upon you.  Shalom!

9:15am - 10:15am .. Sunday School for All Ages
9:30am - 10:15am .. Worship
10:15am - 11:00am .. Fellowship Time

A Community of Believers by Lisa Roberts

1983 was a year of life-changing events for me: Our first child was born in May, I quit my 60-plus hour a week job to be a stay-at-home mom, and my husband Bill & I moved to our new, partially-finished log home in Poolesville (built by Bill). My parents had moved from a too large home in Rockville to a smaller ranch-style home in Poolesville earlier that year and started attending church for the first time since moving to Maryland in 1967. They chose to attend Poolesville Presbyterian Church because they had immediately felt accepted and welcomed by the small congregation. I too, felt it was time to return to church, so in January of ... (read the remainder)

Connection Cafe on Wednesday, June 5, 2013
Living Small:
We like Big Things. Everything in our society moves towards bigness. Our cars, our homes, the volume of our possessions, and...thanks to portion sizes...even our midsections. We have been taught to consume, to be dissatisfied, and to need more. But that is nearly impossible to sustain. In this discussion, we will talk about how to resist this cultural tendency, and how to find a more sustainable, contented path through this life.

CHURCH PICNIC
Save the date - Sunday, June 9th. Ann has again graciously offered All Seasons Farm for our annual church picnic. We will be grilling hot dogs and hamburgers (and veggie burgers). We just ask you to bring a side dish or dessert to share. There is a pool for swimming, a lake for fishing, badminton, lawn darts, slip-'n-slide, smores and spending time with your PPC family. So plan to join us at Ann's place, and bring a friend or more.
If you have any questions, ask Alicia Thomas.
