OUR MISSION
Twelve Corners Presbyterian Church’s purpose is to enrich the lives of its members by offering them hope, support, and a warm, welcoming community in which to flourish in an otherwise secular world. Through the presence of Jesus Christ in our lives, we encourage personal growth and a continuous journey of faith. We strive to accomplish this through our worship, educational ministries, evangelism, and outreach initiatives. Walk through our doors and experience a place where God is encountered in worship, work, fellowship, and dialogue and experience a place where experiential learning occurs, spiritual renewal is nurtured, and all are welcome as God’s children.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Our Church has always been active in the Brighton community. In fact, our church houses many community events and organizations including Twelve Corners Nursery School, Lilac Children’s Garden, Golden Link Folksingers, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Adirondack Mountain club, Rochester Dance Network, and Rochester Philatelic Association, and many support groups.
WE WELCOME YOU TO JOIN US FOR ONLINE WORSHIP EACH SUNDAY MORNING AT 10 A.M.
We are more than ready to be done with COVID-19, but the mutating virus is not yet done with us or our community. For more than a week, our Rochester area has been in the “Extreme Risk” category for viral transmission. The number of hospital admissions and persons in the ICU with COVID-related illness has increased and both of our major health care systems are warning that they are beginning to become overwhelmed. They are asking even those who have been vaccinated and boosted to avoid indoor group activities where possible.
Our Session has decided that we will have ZOOM WORSHIP ONLY for the rest of January and will reassess as we approach February. It is our intention to open the sanctuary again for worship as soon as it is safer to do so. This is a hard but important step in following the Biblical mandate to first protect life and care for not only each other, but our neighbors beyond our congregation. We could consider this another hardship – or we could decide to use these next Sundays as an opportunity to stay in, out of the cold, put on comfy slippers, and grab a cup of coffee or tea to join together in worship and fellowship. Perhaps this is also a spiritual opportunity. What might happen if we each decided to use the time before worship that we would ordinarily be getting on our coats/boots and driving for Bible reading, devotional reading, or prayer?
