SPC thanks all whose faithful giving even in this time of pandemic make the ministry of SPC possible. We recognize that many in our community are experiencing financial uncertainty in these days. We want you to know that our Session has instituted a temporary suspension on all non-essential expenditures to conserve where we can without compromising our essential ministries for you and the larger community we serve with our outreach partners. Please know that your plate offerings, pledge contributions, and gifts are needed more than ever and appreciated. Thank You for supporting SPC!
Offerings are welcomed in the following ways:
- Mail in a check made payable to Swarthmore Presbyterian Church, with “Sunday Offering” on the memo line

Please note the time and process: we gather this Lord’s Day via Zoom specifically so that we are able to see one another from the comfort and safety of our own homes. Worship will be live-streamed and thus also available also on YouTube. Links to both options will be published Friday, November 20.
› Anniversary Sunday: Our 125th!
Sunday November 22 / 10:15 am
Worship will be live-streamed and accessible via Zoom
he entire church family – and extended church family members who once worshipped here — are invited this morning to worship together. Revs. Joyce Shin, Sarah Cooper Searight and Alex Evangelista will all be present as worship leaders, active member Winnie Host will serve as guest preacher, and members of the Chancel Choir, Youth and Children’s Music Ministries, and the Handbell Choir will all make joyful noises to the Lord. Thanks be to God!
Fellowship at 11:15 am / via Zoom
Following worship this morning, we are all invited to stay on Zoom for a time of fellowship with one another. For most of the worship service, we will have been “muted” (seen but not heard) but afterwards there will be time to linger, first as a large group and then in smaller groups, meeting a few newcomers and saying good morning to some familiar churchgoers that perhaps you have not seen for a while.
On November 16, 1895, a committee appointed by the Presbytery of Chester met with twenty-four charter members and laid the groundwork for the congregation of Swarthmore Presbyterian Church. This month, as we begin our 125th year, we remember those who have come before us, celebrate the love and commitment of all who comprise our church family today, and dream about where God might be leading us in the years to come. The theme, for the stewardship campaign that will sustain us financially in the coming year, for the elements of church history being highlighted throughout the year, and for the work ahead as we envision our future, is SPC: an Endeavor of the Spirit.
