About this week's Guest Preacher

Dr. Jeffrey Arthurs was raised in western PA and came to saving faith in Christ when he was fourteen years old; just a couple of years later, he received a call to preach. He continues to use his experience as a teacher, pastor, missionary, director, announcer, and consultant to equip others for more effective proclamation of the Word. He has been on the Faculty at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary since 2002 where he is now the the Robinson Professor of Preaching and Communication.

Date Change: Gospel in Community: Grace Changes Everything

SUN, OCT 15, 22, 29 | 9:45 AM & 5:45 PM | Park Street Church

Our Gospel in Community series will be pushed back a week and begin instead on Sun, Oct 15. Join us for a 3-week video and discussion series on the gospel and how it is lived out in all of life—in your heart, your community, your campus, your workplace, your world. We’ll listen to a brief video message from Tim Keller (late pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC), and engage in discussion with those who live in your region.


See parkstreet.org/christianformation for more info and registration.

Faith at Work Meet-ups

SUN, OCT 15 | Immediately after each service | Meet near the organ 

Are you feeling disconnected and lonely when it comes to faith in the workplace?

If you’re interested to learn more, come to the front left of the sanctuary near the organ immediately after the service on SUN, OCT 15. We’d love to talk with you.

“How much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” Matthew 7:11

Let us pray for….

  • Our tweens and teens, that they would have spiritual and mental health, growing Christian friendships, deepening identity formation in Jesus, and harmonious relationships with their parents.
  • The elderly with memory struggles: that they are filled with comfort, hope and joy; that God shows them each day how to serve him.
  • Our church to have increasingly clear vision about how to proclaim the gospel in Boston, and among our neighbors and co-workers. Pray that seekers hear and respond to the gospel message.
  • That the Holy Spirit pours out new spiritual gifts upon his people needed for the days ahead.
