Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in my ordination ceremony last night, it was wonderful! It is such a good feeling to be part of this church family and such an honor to be ordained to serve as pastor of Praise Community Fellowship.

Praise Community Fellowship is about relationships. Your relationship with Jesus, your relationship with your family,  and your relationship with the family of people who attend Praise Community Fellowship. We come together to help each other with life's journey. We come together to celebrate the victories, the joys, the successes and triumphs of life as well as to lift up, carry, attend to, and support one another in the times of need.

I see great and wonderful things for Praise Community Fellowship as we reach out to serve others.

There is a secret to having the fullness of God in your life. It is stated many times in the new testament, and it always has to do with loving and serving others. Jesus made the Kingdom of God accessible to everyone who believes in Him.  Jesus said there are two commandments you need to follow, Love God and Love your neighbor as much as you love your self!  Bingo, do that and your life is going to change for the better.   I have tested it personally and will tell you it works!  Here is one such passage about love from 1 John 4: 7-11

God’s Love and Ours

⁷ Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. ⁸ Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. ⁹ This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. ¹⁰ This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. ¹¹ Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

I am here to serve you.   I really want to sit down with each and everyone of you and get to know you better and discuss your hopes, dreams and concerns. Please call or email me and we will set up a time to meet. My email is bon-kens@hotmail.com or you can go to the link on the Praise Community Website, or call me at 618-334-3575.
 Love, Pastor Kent
