Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended,

That man to judge Thee hath in hate pretended?

By foes derided, by Thine own rejected,

O most afflicted.

Who was the guilty? 

Who brought this upon Thee?

Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee.

'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied Thee:

I crucified Thee.

Lo, the good Shepherd for the sheep is offered:

The slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered:

For man's atonement, while he nothing heedeth,

God intercedeth.

For me, kind Jesus, was Thine incarnation,

Thy mortal sorrow, and Thy life's oblation:

Thy death of anguish and Thy bitter passion,

For my salvation.

Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee,

I do adore Thee, and will ever pray Thee,

Think on Thy pity and Thy love unswerving,

Not my deserving. 

- Johann Heermann

Keeping In Touch

Dear church friends ~

During these weeks when we cannot meet together, Pastor Adam has set up two Youtube channels for us. The first is a channel for the church. If you click here, you will find it. It has some familiar hymns and praise songs that Mary Kathryn has recorded for you, plus a message from Adam and a selection of Scripture readings.

The second Youtube channel (please click here) contains short devotionals that Pastor Adam has made - 5 to 10 minutes each. "Questions in Community" is the title of these devotionals, parables and conversations Jesus had during His ministry that encourage us also to ask questions, discuss, and better understand His meaning.

Please listen to these and leave comments under the devotional videos to engage in the conversation. We hope they are helpful as you worship at home and pray!

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,

whose mind is stayed on Thee,

because he trusts in Thee."

Isaiah 26:3

Announcement:

Pastor Adam has instructed that all our church's services and activities will be discontinued immediately, until at least April 5, 2020. He will notify the church when services can resume. During this time of uncertainty, continue to reach out and stay in touch, and keep each other in prayer.

"Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet" ~

 "... and a light unto my path."  Psalm 119:105

We are thankful for the generous anonymous gift to our church of this pair of oil-burning candles.

 We are reminded of the many passages in God's Word that speak of light. "You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden." Matt. 5:14

 "For with You is the fountain of life, and in Your light do we see light." Psalm 36:9

Worship Service, March 15, 2020

Pamlico Presbyterian Church will have its regular Sunday worship at 11:00 a.m. We invite anyone in the area whose church is not meeting, to join us. We are a very small congregation and would be happy to have you come -- if you are feeling well. If you are feeling ill, please stay at home during this time. We have hand sanitizer at the church as well. 

O Holy Night!

Please join us for a worship service

of only Scripture reading and Christmas carols.

This Sunday evening at 6:00 ~

Candlelight and "Silent Night"

Refreshments afterward in the fellowship hall.

"Worship Christ, the newborn King!"

Seventh Annual Thanksgiving Day Dinner!

 At 2:00 on Thanksgiving Day, a wonderful crowd of 35 friends and family gathered in our fellowship hall for a feast.
Eating together is a spiritual event. Eating with the Lord among us, as Christians, is worship and joy.

 One turkey baked in the oven; one fried in the parking lot with supervision.

 Meanwhile a few ladies transformed the fellowship hall into an autumnal feasting location!

 Pastor Adam baked his melt-in-your-mouth rolls.

 And he whisked up some gravy.

 Then our guests began to arrive.

 This meal is open to anyone - church members, members of other churches, members of no church, friends, neighbors, strangers, passing boaters. Everyone is invited and welcomed.

 Some guests arrived unexpectedly, so we swiped one of the food tables to give us more seating!

 Desserts:

 Even vegetarian eaters found plenty to enjoy!

 This is by far the largest Thanksgiving gathering we've had. Next year we'll need to rearrange our tables. What a delight it was to have everyone here.

 The Lord's table is a big table, a table where each person brings an offering for everyone, a table of sharing and joy, a table to which all are invited and many come.

We hope, wherever you are this Thanksgiving, you share a table with others thankful to God for His provision, love, and care for us all.
