Over the next few weeks, the town of Union will change into the town of Mayberry. Andy, Opie, Barney, and, of course, Aunt Bea will be at Harmony Place Church as we study their lives, learning from their stories.
The use of parables is a common way for Christians to grow. Our adult Sunday school class is applying the parables of the “Andy Griffith Show” to our lives today. We will watch an episode every week and explore its depths through a class discussion.
We meet upstairs following the worship service, every Sunday. Come out and join us or we’ll send Barney after you!

Why do we sing songs when we gather together? Why are there times in our worship service when we are called to respond? Why do we even gather to worship God? Can’t we just do this at home?
Starting this Wednesday night, April 9, we begin a new study series about the concept of worship, led by Bob Kemp-Baird, our Minister of Music and Worship. It is a study that will help us explore the basics of worship. And in the end, it will challenge us to worship God more fully.

This Wednesday, March 26, we are going to spend some time in prayer and we are going to walk as we do it. The book of Joshua explains that the people of Israel march around the city of Jericho, claiming it in God’s name. We are going to do the same here at Harmony Place. We are going to walk around the building in prayer.
No, we don’t want the walls to fall down like they do in Jericho but we do want to seek God’s face. This is something that we hope to do from time to time as a way for us to see more clearly and follow more nearly,
(Based on a prayer from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer)
Gracious Father, we pray for your holy Church. Fill is with all truth, in all truth with all peace. Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where in any thing it is amiss, reform it. Where is is right, straighten it; where it is in want, provide for it; where it is divided, reunite it; for the sake of Jesus Christ your Son our Savior. Amen.
