As a denomination, the Presbyterian Church (USA) has some guiding principles that shape our mission. They’re called The Great Ends of the Church, six statements written in the early 20th century that guide both the vision and work of the Presbyterian Church. And that’s going to be our focus during this series. You see, during the next six weeks, we’ll look at each one, seeking to understand what it means and how we can accomplish it within our community.
- August 11 - The proclamation of the gospel for the salvation of humanity
- August 18 - The shelter, nurture and spiritual fellowship of the children of God
- August 25 - The maintenance of divine worship
- September 1 - The preservation of the truth
- September 8 - The promotion of social righteousness
- September 15 - The exhibition of the kingdom of heaven to the world
On Sunday, we’ll start the series by looking at the first great end of the church: the proclamation of the gospel for the salvation of humanity. Below is the bulletin for the service. You can stream the service by going to the Sligo Presbyterian Church YouTube Channel on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). You can hear a podcast of the service at the Sligo Presbyterian Church YouTube Channel or the Sligo Presbyterian Spotify Page.
