Join with church members from around the world at SACCPhilly as we celebrate our unity in Christ and remember our Lord’s supreme sacrifice upon the cross.
This year’s theme: “How Great a Salvation!”
Come stand with believers from around the world who have escaped the ravages of war; others who have fled religious persecution and extreme poverty. These are the churches that worship with us at SACCPhilly.
Lift up your voices with a throng of thankful worshippers from our 8 different congregations who are singing praises for God’s great salvation now… and will forever around the throne of heaven (Rev. 5:9)
And they sang a new song, saying,
“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation,
and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
It is always a celebration when we come together to remember our salvation! We all have been rescued from the power of sin and death. We come together to praise our Savior and look to him for more grace as we face the trials of life.
Christians know that everything we have comes from God. Together with our refugee and immigrant neighbors, we have much for which to praise God!
