Dear PCF family and friends, tomorrow we will share in Communion and witness a Baptism of our newest PCF family member Anne Ford. The choir will get things going at 9:00am. We are called to meet together! Being together is important, because you may have what I need, and I may have what you need. We need each other, especially in this crazy world.
I had a wonderful phone conversation with Jim Ebersoldt this afternoon. Jim and Sue live in Florida and as you know Jim has been on our prayer list for some time now. He has cirrhosis of the liver which seems to be his biggest problem. He is being treated but says he doesn’t have much energy anymore. But the good news is his spirit is still strong. You can hear the same old smiling Jim in his voice. He loves the Lord and he told me he has God’s peace! It doesn’t get any better than that no matter what our circumstances are.
Homework: I am going to start something new at our services. I want to give a short introduction and story about each of our PCF family members. I want each of you to write something interesting about yourself, send it to me in an email, (kent@bonniburns.com) or drop them in the offering on Sunday. Mention things that most people wouldn’t know about you. You can list what you did or still do for a living, hobbies, passions, skills, languages you speak, travels, something you have overcome because of getting to know Jesus. Testimonies would be great! Each Sunday, I will take one of these and introduce one of the responses I get back. I want people at PCF to get to know one another better. Who will be the first one featured?
