Dear PCF family, Bonni and I are back in town and we are looking forward to this coming Sunday. I want to thank Dave Schaake and Tom Gain for stepping in and serving this past Sunday, it looked like a wonderful joyful service. It is such a blessing to be with the people you love! And speaking of blessings, I am going to be looking at what the bible says about that topic this coming Sunday.
And speaking of blessings, I mentioned Dave and Tom helping out but I want to give Al Kaburick a huge shout out for the wonderful BBQ dinner we shared a couple of weeks ago along with our amazing dinner crew who faithfully step up and put in a lot of work setting up for the dinner and cleaning up afterwards. I apologize for this late thank you. You are all greatly loved and appreciated. The dinner crew are Cathy and Gary, Nelleke, Kip and Cindy, Bill and Judy, Patti, Cathy Crowder, Kay Gieselman who donates the wonderful Annie’s frozen Yogurt, and we have a new volunteer who made the most amazing decorated cookies, Erin Tendick! Thank you all!
Announcement: Sheryl Burian wants to remind everyone to return the greeting cards to church to the white basket by Sunday June 30th. Sheryl says there are plenty of cards left if you need one. Sheryl will be mailing all the cards the first week in July to our PCF friend. If you want to know more about this see Sheryl or Rusty on Sunday.
A thought for the day: Ordinary people all over the world are waking up each day starting their often times mundane jobs, and routines many of them struggling going unnoticed in a very busy world. People from all walks of life doing what they can to get by, to get through, to live life. Many of these ordinary hard working people are believers in Jesus, they are Christians which means the Holy Spirit lives in them. We are His Holy Temple so it doesn’t matter what your current circumstance in life is, whether you are rich or poor, happy or sad, at peace or struggling, fulfilled or unfulfilled, God can and will use you right where you are if you tune into Him. He will use you to bring HIs light into someone’s else’s life. And when He uses you to bring that light into someone’s darkness guess what happens? That light lights up the entire room, the light doesn’t just light up the path for the other person but it illuminates the entire space for everyone. If you believe in Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of light, lives within you. Let His light shine through you and watch what happens to your path, it too will become illuminated! Have a blessed, illuminated day. Sincerely. Kent
