Dear PCF family and friends, I want to start off with an urgent prayer request, I received an email from Cathy Watson this morning with this message: “Our daughter Amy received this from one of the members of her class she is now taking. It makes this Russia-Ukraine problem seem more real when we know someone affected. The girl’s name is Oksana so thought we could add her and her family to our prayer list.  Oksana writes: Hey team, I’m sorry to add to the tough news. I’m more than a little scattered today and I imagine for days if not more to come. My home town has been directly hit this morning by rockets from Russia and while my family is safe at the moment, the situation on the ground is dire. Could use all your good vibes and posters. Keep your loved ones extra close. Oksana.

We can do more than send good vibes, we can call on the God of the universe to intervene and to protect Oksana and her family and friends and pray that they all come to know Jesus and His saving grace. And we can and are called to lift all leaders in the world to God’s wisdom and God’s ways.

As my last blog mentioned,  there is darkness in this world and there is light in this world. Darkness cannot defeat the light! We are a people of God’s truth and in that truth is power. This Sunday at 9:00am at Esic church I hope you can join your PCF family as we come to lift the world to God’s Mercy and we pray for peace and wisdom. I will be talking about the words of Jesus, “Let not your hearts be troubled!”

We are a family of light in a darkening world. Come be part of the light. Let’s raise our vices in worship and Hymns Sunday. The world is moaning for a savior and the Good New is, He is coming again.  Come Sunday to learn more.

Mark your calendars, March 13th, 5:00pm. PCF family catered dinner at Esic Church. It will be a blessing! Come join us. Sign up with Nelleke at church or you can call her at 618-954-4155 to make your reservations.
