Last Day of 2012

Ideas and goals for Praise Community Fellowship for 2013.

The following four ideas I know we will be initiating in 2013. 

1.) Sunday evening fellowship. There have been several groups of PCF family members that have been meeting at local restaurants after the Sunday services. Starting next Sunday, January 6th, we will announce where the fellowship will meet after the service so anyone wishing to join in is welcome.

2.) Informal fellowship Wednesdays for men.  I have over the past several weeks been meeting informally with a couple of guys from PCF just to talk about anything and everything. Starting this Wednesday any guy wishing to join us, we will be meeting at Breadco at 9:00 am.  There is no agenda to these gatherings. Just come and share what ever is on your mind.  Gals, I am more than willing to do the same for you. If you are interested let me know.

3.) Bible Study.  I have had several people express an interest in a bible study class. I will be contacting a couple of people who expressed a interest in leading a bible study class and will keep everyone posted on when this class will start.

4.) Weekly Youth Group meetings.  Vickie Gabriel has done a wonderful job in launching our youth group from scratch this past year.  She got the group up and running and has done some wonderful things with the kids ending the year with an amazing Christmas party a Beverly Farm. This coming year Andy Darbon has agreed to step in a start a weekly youth group and between Vickie, Elizabeth, and a few other volunteers it looks like we will have a growing, dynamic youth program continuing in 2013.  Look for more announcements soon.

On the wish list for 2013

1.) A marriage enhancement class.

2.) A solid plan for our future growth and development.

3.) Prayer meeting, and a dedicated prayer team. (Those who feel a special calling to pray for others)

4.) Sunday school for our youth.

I am sure there are many other ideas and dreams many of you have for our wonderful new church. Your church. Send me your ideas and dreams and I will include them in a future blog. 

We are called to bring Jesus into peoples lives. That is our #1 priority and purpose. Why? Because when a person gets to know Jesus, their life is going to change for the better. It's that simple. People who get close to Jesus and His teachings will help make this world a better place. Step up and become part of the dream.  God has a plan for your life, and it is a wonderful plan. But, it is up to you to go to Him and seek His will. Prayer, bible study, worship, and fellowship are ways in which God can reveal His plan to you. Don't wait like I did for so many years trying to do it "my way."  The best way is Gods way! I want all of you to experience that no matter what your current circumstances, and no matter what your current frustrations may be. Let this year be a blessing to you and your family. Get to know Jesus!    Love, Kent
