They have made the plans and ordered the cake, and they are anxious for the vows that they'll make Help pass the time and shorten the wait a shower is planned and here is the date...

Inquiring Minds Want to Know You can learn a lot about our church from the website or attending our worship services, but the best way to get oriented is through the personal interaction of an Inquirer’s Class. Beginning this Sunday, February 19, 2017 during the Sunday School Hour, Pastor McIntosh will be teaching an HPC orientation class in the Office Conference Room.
What then is God's holiness? Probably the most common explanation of the term 'holiness' is that to be 'holy' means 'to be separate from', 'to be cut off from', 'to be placed at a distance from'. And so we often say that God's holiness means that he is separate from sin and therefore separate from us.
There is no obligation to join the church after completing the class, but participation is encouraged by our Session if you want to join HPC.
There is a good measure of truth in this. But…[that] describes the Creator's attribute of holiness from the viewpoint of the creature; it describes his purity from the standpoint of the sinner. And ultimately that is to do our thinking the wrong way round.
Assistant Needed
What do we mean when we say ‘Holy Father' and 'Holy Son' and ‘Holy Spirit' and 'Holy Trinity'?
Pastor McIntosh is in need of a new part-time Administrative Assistant. Please be in prayer for the Lord’s provision for this much-needed assistance. If you know of a gifted Christian with a serving heart who may be qualified for this position, please have him or her contact Pastor McIntosh ([email protected]).
We mean the perfectly pure devotion of each of these three per-sons to the other two. We mean the attribute in the Trinity that corresponds to the ancient words that describe marriage: 'forsaking all other, and cleaving only unto thee'—absolute, permanent, exclusive, pure, irreversible, and fully expressed devotion.
This Week at HPC
First, that it is not something mechanical, or formal, or legal, or even performance-based. It is personal. In a sense 'holiness' is a way of describing love. To say that 'God is love' and that 'God is holy' ultimately is to point to the same reality. Holiness is the intensity of the love that flows within the very being of God, among and between each of the three persons of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is the sheer intensity of that devotion that causes seraphim (whose holiness is perfect but creaturely) to veil their faces (Isaiah 6:2).

When we grasp that this is true in the Trinitarian fellowship of God's being it will help us understand several things about holiness.
If this is what holiness means in God, then in us it must also be a corresponding deeply personal, intense, loving devotion to him—a belonging to him that is irreversible, unconditional, without any reserve on our part. Simply put, it means being entirely his, so that all we do and possess are his. We come to think all of our thoughts and build our lives on this foundation. To be holy, to be sanctified, therefore, to be a 'saint', is in simple terms to be devoted to God. ~ Sinclair Ferguson, Devoted to God: Blueprints for Sanctification
