February 2017 Monthly Newsle er of Pawleys Island Presbyterian Church

Pawleys Presbyterian

The interim commi ees have completed their tasks, and the Presbytery has approved the Mission Study and authorized PIPC to elect a Pastor Nomina ng Commi ee (PNC)! In the next couple of weeks, our Nomina ng Team will consider members of our church to serve on the PNC and will offer them for elec on by the congrega on at a called congrega onal mee ng for that purpose. You can play a role in the next step of our process by prayerfully considering and sugges ng names of members to the Nomina ng Team who you believe would provide the necessary leadership in seeking PIPC’s next called pastor. Please watch for announcements in the bulle n and the weekly e‐blast in the weeks to come. A sermon series on the Ten Commandments began a couple weeks ago. I have been studying the Ten Commandments (also called the Decalogue) in depth for over 15 years. Even though the sermon series is ex‐tensive, I cannot say (and you wouldn’t want me to!) all the things I’ve learned in the course of my study on the subject. But here are some interes ng dbits about the Ten Commandments you might find instruc ve and interes ng. The Jewish Law, know as the “Torah”, is generally recognized to have 613 commandments. It is no longer possible for Jews to follow all the Torah because some of its direc ves are about worship at the Tem‐ple, and the Temple with its sacrificial system no longer exist. Religious Jews o en consider the Ten Com‐mandments as the first of the Laws, or perhaps as ten organizing categories under which the remainder of the Law is arranged.

CONTINUED ON NEXT

And the second is like unto it, Thou

shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Matthew 22:39

In the Hebrew, the word “commandment” is not used regarding what we commonly refer to as the Ten Commandments. Instead the transla on properly is “the ten words” or “the ten declara ons.” As “words of God” they carry great weight for people of faith, and the fact that they are not “commandments” per se in the original text does not reduce their signifi‐cance or importance. H.O.S.T. Ques on: What was PIPC’s first name? Un l the 16th Century, the common tle for the Ten Commandments was “the Deca‐logue” (the Greek transla on of the Hebrew “the ten words” in the Septuagint). At the publica‐

on and prin ng of the Geneva Bible (the first mass produced English version of the Bible), a sub tle was printed at the top of the page that called this sec on in Exodus 20 “The Ten Com‐mandments” and that was the first historical occasion that can be documented calling this pas‐sage of scripture “the Ten Commandments.” The Decalogue or Ten Commandments are found in Exodus 20:1‐17 and Deuteronomy 5:6‐21. Different faiths and denomina ons that use the Ten Commandments divide and ar‐range them differently. Which version of the Ten Commandments do you use? Grace and peace, Mark

There will be a Congrega onal Mee ng on

We are so proud of our Alleluia Ringers for their dedication! We attended the Handbell Festival in Charleston on February 3rd - 4th and spent hours learning new music and techniques with 200 oth-er ringers. We also teamed up with neighboring ringers from St. Paul’s Lutheran. Well known compos-er, Kevin McChesney, was the clinician. Tentative performance dates are March 19th, April 23rd, & June 11th to finish our season.

JAM Kids are planning to sing the delightful “If I Were a Butterfly” on February 12th.

We also plan to process and sing on Palm Sunday, April 9th, and Mother’s Day on May 14th.

Want to be involved in the music life of our church? Contact Lana at [email protected] or

(904) 434-6753. There’s a place for you! The Chancel Choir needs enough basses, tenors, altos, and sopranos to cover each other for every Sunday. No one expects you to sing a solo or be here every week. It is an amazing group and a joy to be a part of. H.O.S.T. Question 2: What year was the youth recommitment baptism service held in Pawleys Creek?

Grace and Peace,
