Beginning January 1, 2012 join us at 9:30 AM Sunday mornings for a short (15 minutes) study of the Shorter Catechism. Each week
we will look at a different question from the Shorter Catechism. January 1, we will consider question number 1.
Study question for January 29, 2012
- Q. 5
- Are there more Gods than one?
- A. 5
- There is but one only, the living and true God.
- Q. 6
- How many persons are there in the godhead?
- A. 6
- There are three persons in the Godhead; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory.
The Westminster Shorter Catechism can be found on the OPC website.
Coming November 6: ESTHER
Starting November 6, the adult Bible Study Hour class will begin a study of the book
of Esther. Some questions to ponder as you read through the book to familiarize
yourself with the plotline might be: What characterizes the named individuals in Esther?
Where is God? What is the message of the book? Please join us as we study this book in
the Bible together.
Knox Church 75th Anniversary
This year we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, which came into being on June 11, 1936. This year is also the 75th anniversary of Knox, although our congregation is slightly younger than the denomination! On Monday, September 14, 1936, Knox Presbyterian Church of DC was organized and just over a week later the congregation was received into the Philadelphia Presbytery of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church on Tuesday, September 22. Later, on November 7, 1943, the congregation relocated its worship services to Silver Spring, MD, and in January 1945 the congregation began meeting in its present building.
This fall, we will celebrate 75 years of the Lord’s goodness to us as a congregation. As part of our celebration, Session has invited a number of men who have had a close relationship with our congregation in past years visit Knox to reflect on their time here during the Bible Study Hour time and preach at the morning services of worship. On these occasions we will have a fellowship meal after the morning service as an opportunity to visit with our guest followed by a second, afternoon, service of worship (and no evening service).
These special Lord’s Day celebrations are scheduled to take place on:
- September 18, with the Rev. Dick Ellis as our special guest
- October 9, with the Rev. Tom Tyson as our special guest
- November 20, with the Rev. Len Stewart as our special guest
- May 2012 with the Rev. Bryan Estelle
