Matthew 18:3 “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Good morning PCF family, and Blessings to all of you. Here is the latest PCF news:
Tom Gain goes in for his hip replacement surgery tomorrow morning. His surgery is actually outpatient surgery which is amazing but we want to lift Him to God’s healing grace so we can get him back to us asap.
Nadeen Schuette will be entering palliative care. She is back home and we will be talking with the nurses and setting her up with the palliative care team over this next week. She is still smiling and has an amazing attitude, she just needs a boost of energy and we are hoping the care team may have some suggestions.
This Thursday, December 12th, the GST church is presenting a Christmas Concert. The group giving the concert are called, “When Brothers Meet.” Doors will open at 6:30pm and the concert begins at 7:00pm. All are invited to attend.
Sunday December 22nd will be our Christmas Service and it will be a communion service.
” But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees with his reply, they met together to question him again. One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question: “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”
We will have a communion Service on December 22nd at our Christmas service.
