Dear PCF family, I think it was two years ago, maybe three that I had mentioned the reason for the season we call Christmas is sin! Which is true. This Sunday I have another revelation I will be sharing with all of you that I hope will help you with your walk as a Christian. I also want to express the sentiment that many of you have shared with me this past year, that being a part of the PCF family is just a wonderful blessing. It has been a year of growth for our PCF family, how exciting to see all the new faces and children that have joined us this past year. As we prepare to close this year out, I want to thank all the people who volunteer their time to make PCF what it is today, a wonderful blessing to all who come to worship with us.

Our prayer List:
- Snookie Louise Burns, Bonni and Robin’s mom, Snookie got hit hard with the respiratory illness this past week. She is improving but needs prayers to help her get over the hump.
- Nadeen Schuette, mom has gotten her scan back and the tumors on the liver have not shrunk, but they haven’t grown either so she will continue with her chemo therapy routine. She is not getting sick after her treatments which is a huge blessing and she has been doing very good! Thank you for your continued prayers.
- Ruth Lange who has become a very regular member of our family is having some pretty serious health issues that we need to lift to God in prayer. We pray for God’s wisdom and guidance as well as healing strength and peace for Ruth.
- Betsy Kelleher’s son David Kalcott is having serious health problems with a failing liver, please lift David and His doctors as he is also moving during this difficult time of health. Betsy and Russ have a lot to deal with so we ask for God’s wisdom, peace, and comfort during this time of trial.
- Wendy Wickham, I spoke with Wendy today and she has a wonderful positive spirit even though the therapy is not easy and she has a way to go before she can even put weight on her leg. Keep the prayers coming and we will see what God can do with her cooperative spirit.
- Brody Sedlacek, Shawna says Brody is trooper going thru his cancer treatments. I’t’s a lot for an 8 year old to carry. Please continue to lift Brody and his family in prayer as he continues his treatments.
- Micah McKinney, Please lift this young man to our healing father. Micah will be entering treatment for lymphoma.
