Tenth Women’s Committee
As men and women of Tenth, let us “Glorify the Lord with me: let us exalt his name together” (Psalm 34:3). This past November Session meeting, a motion was passed to establish a women’s ministry upon the recommendation of a Special Session Committee on Women’s Ministry, in partnership with an ad hoc Committee for Women’s Ministry. The purpose was to establish a visible, accessible, effective committee to serve women of our congregation, called the Tenth Women’s Committee. The scope of the committee will include:
Working in coordination with existing governance entities and ministries such as Session and its commissions and committees, the Diaconate and its committees, and other appropriate Tenth entities. Responding to Teaching Elders’ and Ruling Elders’ request, along with needs identified through the Diaconate, to assist in matters pertaining to women in the congregation such as encouraging, advocating, mentoring, and...

Incarnation Matters
No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow far as the curse is found.
—Isaac Watts
Jesus entered the world during a time of violence and terror as the wails of mothers whose children were murdered for political expediency surely still echoed across the nation. Government oppression and taxation bore down on those who...

Comfort & Joy
“Their plane is missing.” It was the end of June in 1989, and I was reveling in the joy and excitement of having just graduated from the Curtis Institute the month before. Earlier that day I had played an organ concert at Wanamaker’s (now Macy’s) and a guest at the organ console asked me if I knew the whereabouts of Keith Chapman and his wife Sally. Keith was the head or...
Christian Gratitude
Romans 1:21: “For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.”
This verse is not a traditional Thanksgiving Day verse. Yet, there is something fundamentally important in this text about Christian gratitude. Paul is describing the marks of those who are su...

Learning with Thanksgiving
This post was originally a letter sent to our pastors by a member.
Here are some of the many things that I have learned at Tenth.
1. I learned that our minds and our intellects are gifts from God and are to be used to worship, glorify, and grow in love for him. One of the many aspects of Tenth Church that my husband, Rich, and I loved when we first came was that...

Surprised Foreigners Know About It
After a foreign preacher presented the gospel to a group of people in Asia, a local pastor asked if it might be better to train an indigenous person to preach to his countrymen. The pastor went so far as to express his desire for “believers in [Asia] to think of the gospel as uniquely their own and to be surprised when they learn that foreigners also know about it.” [...
After Ethnicity
What has really been happening these last few weeks? I believe that we have been engaged in an exercise in corporate sanctification. Why corporate? Because most of the New Testament epistles address the body of Christ, the church, as a whole. In fact, the Lord has been addressing corporate sin in the body of Christ that goes deeper and broader than the headline issue on the table.

Electing Nominees
Though only days away from our governmental midterm elections, we are also approaching the annual election of elders, deacons, and deaconesses to their various posts in our church.
As a Presbyterian church, our leaders are elected from a pool of nominees to represent and serve the members of the church. All Christians are to be engaged in service to the world and each o...

Leadership in Christ’s Church
What does leadership look like in Christ’s Church? To begin to answer that question we need to remind ourselves that leadership works at different levels:
Christ is the king and head of the Church and his laws expressed in Scripture rule his assembly. The apostles provide the divine revelation on which the Church’s order and ordinances are constructed. Elders sittin...
