Dear PCF family and friends, it’s Wednesday and Jesus is at the throne of God interceding for all of his followers who are praying and seeking to be closer to him. Amen
This Sunday I am so excited because we will be dedicating a little one at the end of the service. Olive Geninatti, daughter of Missy and Seth Geninatti and granddaughter of Kip and Cindy Goff. The PCF family continues to grow, how wonderful.
