ALLENTOWN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Allentown Presbyterian Church is a vibrant community of faith, where hundreds of people from a multitude of backgrounds and ages gather to worship and follow Jesus.  For over 300 years APC has proclaimed the love of Jesus to the greater Allentown community and today we uniquely blend our rich history with a youthful spirit to make the story of God’s love relevant for all.  Recognizing that Jesus is the vine and we are the branches, our mission is to help one another Grow in Christ. All are welcome, come as you are. 

Lenten Sermon Series: The Table
Sundays, Starting March 9th
The Gospels are full of stories of Jesus sharing meals with disciples, friends, and even tax collectors and Pharisees. In one moment he's multiplying bread to feed a whole crowd, next he's relaxing with his inner circle, and then he's telling curious elites stories about even greater banquets. These stories culminate in "the last supper" on the night before his crucifixion; a meal he invites his followers to continue eating long after his resurrection. Join us during the season of Lent, as we explore the rich imagery and symbolism of the table -- and how it speaks to our lives today.

4/6 - Fasting as Solidarity with the Poor
We've been talking all about feasting this Lent -- exploring what it means to share meals and participate in fellowship and community around the table. But what does it truly mean to "live justly" (Micah 6:8) around the table? How can abstaining from food be an act of solidarity with the poor? Join us as we learn from John Mark Comer (founder of Practicing the Way) in his engaging and practical video teaching about fasting to stand with the poor.
