Dear PCF family and friends, I pray that Jesus is becoming your best friend. That is the goal of PCF, to introduce Jesus, teach Jesus, trust Jesus, until Jesus becomes our all in all.

This Sunday we will be back at 9:00am and I am looking forward to being with everyone and seeing all of you. I’ll be teaching on a very important lesson that Jesus taught and it concerns each and everyone of us. It is probably the most common trap Christians can so easily fall into. It is such a short teaching yet the message is profound and goes much deeper than meets the eye. You can read about this story in Luke 18:9-14.

Nelleke Weese has decided to retire from serving as the TWIGS director for our church and district 7 children. She has done an amazing job of coordinating this group of volunteers over the past 4 years. Nelleke has worked through many obstacles to make sure that the kids in need always had their lunches. Nelleke I am very grateful for all your hard work and dedication! Sally McLaughlin has stepped into Nelleke’s role as the new TWIGS coordinator, Sally we thank you for taking on this role! There are more challenges ahead because we currently have not found a space to work from but we trust the good Lord will provide for this ministry.

  • Pray for God to lead us to the right 12 unchurched families that we can adopt into the PCF family of joy!
