Anticipation!

That is the best way I can describe my emotions about PCF and the prayer we have for our church. Adopting new people who God puts into our path. It has been very interesting to me to have many of you telling me about the people you are inviting and asking to come check us out. I know at the Garden Club (Wednesday night small group gathering at 6:30 in church basement. All are invited! )  there has been a pretty lively discussion about reaching out to people. 

I want to share something with all of you that may take the pressure off if you find it hard to talk with people about joining our church family. First, let your prayer be the primary work you do for our church. Pray for God to move in our church. As you pray this prayer become aware of what God is doing in your life! God works through us. I think you will find some very interesting "coincidences" as you stay focused on this prayer.

Why more people? First and foremost it is what Jesus asked us all to do as Christians. To bring the Good News of the Gospel to everyone! 

What is the Gospel? The word Gospel means "Good News!" The Good News is:

John 3:16-17 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

As a pastor I am contacted by many groups and organizations needing support. Currently we, Praise Community Fellowship Family, have been supporting many worthwhile causes. As we expand our family, we will also expand our resource pool which will allow us to serve even more people. 

PCF family we are very unique!

We are able to serve our community and many organizations because we are approaching this ministry in a very unique way.

1.) We do not have any debt!

2.) We do not have pastor salaries, or support salaries, we are volunteers.

3.) We do not have the huge operating expenses of maintaining a facility. We pay rent, which is very reasonable, but we will not go into debt!

4.) We are trying to exemplify what Jesus taught by serving others and bringing the Good News to people who have not understood the Christian message.

5.) We offer a way for people to come and be part of a Christian family in a very relaxed, but God focused organization.

6.) We do not require membership. If you come to our church and want to be part of our family we consider you a member of our family.

7.) We are NOT competing with other churches! We are seeking the unchurched and are relying on God to bring us the right people.  

What is our future plan? To seek God's direction for everything we do, and to continue to support one another so that we all experience God's love!
