The Fellowship board met last night and after discussion decided that beginning in October we will be going to an every Sunday evening service at 6:30. We continue to see God blessing us by bringing more and more new faces into our services and we look forward to this new step in our direction to glorify God.
As many of you know by the emails and this blog I have said that there has been an ongoing dialogue with the Esic board regarding a possible merger of our two congregations. I feel it is very important to let everyone in the PCF family know exactly what we have been discussing and what possibilities lie before both congregations. Therefore, after our next service on the 23rd of September there will be a 15-20 minute presentation and a question and answer session regarding these talks. There will representation from the Esic board and together we will look at where we believe God is leading us. I want to stress that nothing has been decided regarding this possible merger. We are still exploring the possibility through much prayer and discussion.
Also, I want to make it known that future talks are open to anyone who would like to join us in this conversation. I will be posting future meeting dates on this blog and on the calendar so that anyone interested has a chance to participate in this exciting possibility.
I will be providing the sermon at the Esic Sunday morning service at 10:00am on the 23rd of September. This will be my first sermon in front of their congregation and I would love to see many of my PCF family in the congregation. By the way my sermon Sunday morning will be different than my Sunday evening sermon for those of you who may be wondering.
- Amber Boyles Pellock has designed two nice banners that we will be putting up on the Esic property to advertise our services. She has also had portable yard signs with the same design that can be placed in your yard that will also let more people know about our church and our services. There will be more information Sunday the 23rd for those of you interested in being one of our advertisers.
- Vickie Gabriel will be having a youth group meeting on Sunday the 16th at 4:00. The topic will be on fear. Please check the calendar for more details.
- We have a position available o the Fellowship Board as secretary. If you are interested please contact one of the board members found on the website.
No More parking on the grass or the street soon!
The Esic congregation continues to bless us with open arms and actions. Members of the Esic board approached us last week and announced that they will be extending their paved parking lot so as to accommodate our growing congregation. They are taking bids on the project which will begin soon. Please reach out and thank them for their continued love and support.
As I look back over the past 7 months it is very easy for me to see how God has been leading us and blessing us. As long as we keep focused on His direction and His plans we will continue to experience His blessings. Pray for continued guidance for our church and for Esic Church who has been a shining example of what Christianity put into practice looks like. We are all part of very exciting times. All of you part of the Praise Community Fellowship have been called here for a reason. It is not by accident. God has you here for a specific plan that is unfolding right before your eyes. Be blessed. Very Sincerely and with Love, Kent Schuette
