I began to write a blog commentary about a bible verse I have been seeing posted during this trying time. The verse is found in 2 Chronicles 7:13-14, “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. “
Instead of writing out a fairly long blog post I have decided to do a Facebook live broadcast tomorrow evening at 8:00pm. I will talk about this scripture and about what God promises us today as we prepare for Easter in this new situation we are all facing. I hope you will be able to join me.
See you tomorrow, Thursday April 9th at 8:00pm Facebook live. Also, as a reminder, we will be doing a communion service this Easter at our Sunday 10:30am service. Gather your bread and wine and we will all remotely share in communion. Keep your thoughts on all the blessings we still have.
Our prayer list:
Barb Joiner, Barb is back at Barnes hospital and has had another surgery for her broken hip and femur.

PCF choir and family growth, we are praying for more singers for our choir and to expand our PCF family. The goal is to have 20 singers, and 125 regular family members. We must do our part as disciples. Pray for someone in your circle that you know could benefit by becoming part of the PCF family. Watch God open the doors and the miracles happen!
Can’t wait to see everyone together again! Love, pastor kent
