Moving Toward Sunday

Good afternoon PCF family. I am going to give you another reading assignment for this coming Sunday’s live service broadcast on Facebook. I would like to have you read from all 4 gospels about the story of the feeding of 5000. This is one of Jesus’ grand miracles found in all 4 gospels. As you read thru the various versions, think about what this message is saying to you. I am going to cover this story this Sunday and give some insight about how this message speaks to the hurting world today.

Here are the chapters to read.

• Matthew 14:13-21
• Mark 6:31-44
• Luke 9:12-17
• John 6: 1-14

We do plan on meeting at Glik park as soon as we get a break in this hot weather. In the mean time you can enjoy the services from the comfort of your home anytime by going to our Facebook page and clicking on Live. You can access all of the past sermons since we have been doing the live broadcasts.

We get many requests for prayer. The reason people request prayer. Here is an illustration as to why your prayer matters. Imagine someone you love has fallen into a deep well. They are in need of treatment and there is no room to get anyone else down next to them. The only hope is to lower a rope and try to pull them out. But even though you and a few others are trying your best to pull the rope with your loved one attached, it’s just too heavy for those assembled. So a call goes out for more help. You get the call but you see there are others gathering there, and it looks like rain, and you have many things to do today so you decide the others can handle it. Sound familiar yet? In all situations, if enough people pull together for the same goal, mountains can be moved. There is a point when the right amount of help and strength will prevail. You could be the tipping point. Never discount the power of your voice pleading with God for someone who needs His touch. It could be the tipping point! It’s part of the Christian walk!

She now has to be quarantined at home while trying to take care of Mike. And, on top of all that the new Director at Beverly Farm has resigned meaning more pressure is back on Lori.
