The January 16th PCF Quarterly Family Dinner. The outreach theme of this dinner is to help young mothers in need. We will be collecting newborn diapers and wipes and other newborn necessities that you would care to donate. We will begin collecting those items this week at the Sunday service.
Would you be interested in serving our PCF Church in some capacity? We are very fortunate as an all volunteer church in that we have people always stepping up and helping out. Although there is no immediate need, I want to encourage anyone interested in playing a more active role to contact me so we know who we can call on if needed. There are many possible places to serve but here a few: Communion, Quarterly Family dinners, Offering collection, the Church Board, Sound tech, (The sound tech position requires training and big commitment, all rehearsals and Sundays) Sunday School teacher/Developer.

We had a board meeting last night and one of the discussions we had was child care during the services. At this time Cooper is our only toddler. But we realize if we want younger parents to get involved in PCF we will need to have childcare/Sunday school. Esic has a wonderful childcare playroom, we will just need to have childcare supervision during the services. This need is not immediate but we will have to have a plan in place if we want couples with young children to get involved with PCF.
The power and effectiveness of the church comes from the guidance of the Holy Spirit in everything we do. That is why prayer must always precede any church decisions and plans. And even after prayer we must wait on the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This is God’s church and we are to submit to His plans and instructions. It is then we can move forward with confidence and assurance that we are doing God’s will and His blessings will follow.
