The Grape Hyacinth, also known as Muscari, is an early springtime flowering plant that attracts honey bees. God supplies for every creature in just the right timing and in every way.

Dear PCF family, Bonni and I along with Robin and Darren have been out of town most of this week and that is why there have been no blog updates until now. We are back and looking forward to a wonderful Sunday of worship, Sunday school, and God’s word. This Sunday is taking us closer to our Easter celebration. Come join us and allow the Holy Spirit to fill your life, heart and soul with Hope. We live in tough times and the only thing that helps me stay focused on what’s truly important is God’s word and His promises. Without His truth, life can become cloudy very quickly. So join us Sunday as we enter the truth and the light of God’s words of blessing!

Reminder: There can be no visitors in the Sunday School classroom! Only Parents or grandparents are allowed in the classroom to pick up and drop off their children. We are not only creating a safe zone for the kids but it helps Robin and her helpers to keep track of all our precious little ones and when people come in to talk and visit it creates a distraction. Robin says, she loves all of you but during Sunday school she needs to be concentrating on the little ones. Thank you for your cooperation.

There will be a new face in Sunday school this Sunday, her name is Rachel Stolte. Rachel is Savannah Halbe’s sister. She is married to Luke Stolte from Edwardsville. Rachel has a teaching degree and will be helping Robin on Sundays since our Sunday school is full of precious children.

Our church is full! God is blessing our church by bringing many people into our family. Make sure you reach out to any new faces and welcome them into the PCF family of Joy!  Ask them is they have any questions. Make sure they get one of our welcome cards available by the greeters station.  Getting their name and email address really helps me to get to know them better and allows me to connect them to the blog.
