PCF will be leading worship this Sunday, November the 26th at 8:45am.
God gave us the freedom to choose. This Holiday season can be different in a great way this year if you remind yourself that Love is a choice! Forgiveness is a choice! Kindness is a choice! Compassion is a choice! Generosity is a choice! Patience is a choice! Reading the bible daily is a choice! On the flip side, being resentful is also a choice as is un-forgiveness, impatience, rudeness, selfishness, and ungratefulness. It’s a choice and choices have consequences. Choose carefully! Let’s come together this Sunday to Glorify God in song, in Loving and Caring for one another, in Forgiveness, in Compassion, in Healing, and in Thanksgiving and Gratefulness.

Beverly Farm Christmas Tree is up. We will again be participating in providing Christmas gifts to residents at Beverly Farm who have no family support. You can pick names from the Christmas tree at church. Each name tag will give you some of the items on that persons wish list. Please bring your wrapped gifts back to church as soon as possible so we can get the gifts delivered to Beverly Farm.
