Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well- being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, make choices, and relate to others. At every stage of life - from childhood and adolescence through adulthood – mental health matters.

Our Easter faith teaches us that we are called to serve our neighbor. Easter begs us to ask the question: “How will I now live for the Christ who died, rose, and now lives for me?” This is not always an easy question to answer and sometimes it can be hard to tell if our work is worthwhile. It may feel like the problems of this world are too much to overcome -- natural disasters, poverty, war, prejudice, and a whole host of other things. Our individual lives and collective ministries can sometimes seem small in the face of such incredible brokenness.

Originally titled ‘Hymn for Easter Day,’ Charles Wesley published the well loved anthem ‘Christ the Lord is Risen Today’ in 1739 – which was within the first year of his conversion. The song had its debut during the first worship service at the Wesleyan Chapel in London, England known as the Foundry Meeting House.

A nice thing about living in a big city is that we have access to all kinds of cultural foods. We have Mexican, Chinese, and Italian restaurants like everywhere else, but we can also find Japanese, Greek, Thai, Peruvian, German, Korean, Brazilian, and the list goes on and on. Each culture has its own unique food, and eating the food is a way to celebrate the culture.

Lent is a time to prepare our hearts for Easter and to think about our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. It spans 40 days and represents the period when Jesus was tempted by the devil in the desert. During this time, he didn't eat or drink anything.

We have PLENTY of items to sing praises to God. Work has been completed on the 1st phase of organ repair. Zach has been practicing and THIS WEEKEND we will hear our wonderful organ. The 2nd phase will be completed later this year. Today, the elevator has been repaired and now we can access Acker Hall, 1st Floor, and 2nd Floor with our repaired elevator. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
PHLC, we are truly blessed and getting close to the completion of this construction project.

Revealing, Receiving and Following!
Epiphany starts and ends with a bang. The bright star begins the season, and it culminates with the Transfiguration a bright shining star of a different sort. This weekend the paraments are still white as we observe the Baptism of our Lord, but for the next several weeks the color will be green. During these Sunday’s the celebrations recede, and everyday life re-emerges. What the time between Christmas and Lent captures is that we limited humans can’t take it all in at once. We need a respite, a reprieve to reflect on what has been revealed as we examine our lives.
