Join us for the Fall Metro Parish Picnic (weather permitting)! We will be gathering at the Shuffleboard Court (the rectangular area surrounded by a low stone wall) near 45th St and Chester Ave. Grilled burgers will be provided but please consider bringing a side dish or dessert to share.
On Saturday, September 28th, we're having a PARISH PICNIC at Fort Washington State Park (Militia Hill, Pavilion 1) from 4-6pm. Please bring a main dish, side or desert for our shared dinner at 5pm. Drinks, plates & utensils will be provided. There are nearby grills, if interested. Also frisbee golf and a playground for children. Feel free to bring lawn/camp chairs. This is a great way to enjoy Christian fellowship with others who live in Northern Tier parish.
Tenth Playgroup provides a way for caregivers and kids to find community in the city. Caregivers socialize over coffee while children busy themselves with learning centers and toys.
Join us 9:30-11:30am on the first and third Wednesdays of each month during the school term.
Please note that we ask that you enter via the alley on Spruce Street that runs next to our sanctuary (1708 Spruce Street). We have space to park your stroller and someone will be there to direct you.
No registration is necessary, but you can join the Playgroup Email list here.
Volunteers are needed. Learn more about volunteering with kids at Tenth.
Join us for an inspiring event where Westminster Theological Seminary teams up with Tenth Presbyterian Church to empower Christians to engage meaningfully in the public sphere. Together, we'll explore how to view politics through the lens of a Christian worldview, aiming to be faithful witnesses for Christ in today's world.
Rev. Josiah Vanderveen and Dr. Peter Lillback, President of Westminster, will lead three dynamic discussions, followed by a delicious lunch and an engaging Q&A session.
The registration fee is $15 online or $20 at the door. If the cost is a concern, please don't hesitate to reach out to Suzannah to inquire about scholarships. There is discounted ($6) parking at the Penn South Street Garage (1740 South Street). Bring your parking receipt to Tenth to get stamped. We look forward to seeing you there!
How can we help build one another up in faith? How do we help one another in the church live lives transformed by the Gospel? Join us for this highly practical class as we look at Paul David Tripp’s book, Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands, and learn how God has called every one of us to be instruments of change in one another’s lives.
What makes a Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian? How does our governing document, the Book of Church Order, set us up to do effective ministry in our specific location? How does Presbyterianism give checks and balances and provide the accountability in real time? This class is designed to give an overview of Presbyterian polity, and the basics of Presbyterian parliamentary principles applied to the nitty-gritty of church life in a messy world. All are welcome!
The major theme of this book is that Jesus Christ is greater than any angel, priest, or old covenant practice. Christians, then, must not forsake the great salvation that Jesus has brought about. Come and learn how, with bold assurance, we must hold on by faith to the true rest found in Christ, and we must encourage others in the church to do the same.
Resource: “Hebrews Through a Hebrew’s Eyes”, by Stuart Sacks. This is a short overview by Sacks who was an assistant pastor at Tenth under Dr. James Boice. (You may join this class via a Zoom link. Please contact the teacher for details.)
