Greetings family and friends, this coming Sunday will be very special because we have the honor of dedicating a child to the Lord. Sue Wooden’s granddaughter Isla Klasnja. Let’s show Vlad and Gabby, Isla’s parents and their friends a big PCF welcome Sunday morning.
The PCF choir will be rehearsing this evening at the church at 6:30 if anyone is interested in attending you are welcome to come and listen and worship with us.
Today’s verse Galatians 5:13: “For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to indulge your flesh, but through love serve one another.” You and I were called to serve. Let the love of Jesus fill you with a servant’s heart and watch what Jesus can do through you to bring light into another’s darkness. Opportunities abound! I have found the more I serve the happier and more blessed I am! But the more I self serve, the more unhappy and un-joyful I am. Galatians 6:7 ” Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” Sow happiness, kindness, and blessings into those God puts in your path and watch your own inner garden grow.
Remember God can disguise himself as the beggar, the unwed mother on the street, the homeless person at the park and maybe even the rich business man that is so deep in distress and confusion that all hope is lost to him. You may be the very one that God puts in their path. Be open to the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
