There is So Much More!

We began our sermon series yesterday on  "Making Your Life Amazing With God's Direction! I used the scripture from the book of John 2:1-10 The Wedding at Cana. We hope to have this sermon on our website soon. We recorded the service yesterday. This will help any of you who could not make the service stay up with this important series. I'll keep you posted when it is available.

We hope to have a New updated website soon that will help everyone keep up with all the needs and happenings of PCF and IMUC. 

Until then let me give you a rundown of all that is taking place for the rest of January.

Friday Free Lunch. Immanuel sponsors a free lunch from 11:00 to 1:00 every Friday. Open to anyone and everyone.  You can come and eat or talk with Sharon Koening about helping in the kitchen.

Saturday January 23rd, 6:30 pm is Karaoke night at Immanuel. This is a fundraiser for IMUC and all are welcome to join in the fun. Kids welcome. $10 adults, kids 12 - 18 $5.

PCF Praise Team rehearsal. If you ever were curious about how all the music is put together come and sit in with us. We meet at 7:30 and go till about 10:00 every Thursday evening in the sanctuary. Come see what goes on behind the scenes. Ken Winchester is looking for a sound tech backup person. You never know how God may want to use you for His kingdom.

Kids Free Lunchbox Program. Every Saturday at 8:00 am a team packs lunches in the church basement. This is actually a fun activity. The lunches are then taken to 2 locations in Edwardsville and distributed to Children who are vulnerable to hunger. If you want to Be the Church, sign up to help with this program  once per month. I promise it will put a huge smile on your face and warm your heart. You would be finished by 10:00am. 

Sunday school is available. Every Sunday after the 9:00am worship service there are Sunday school programs available to the youth in the church basement. 

5th Sundays.  There are 4 months during the year this year that have 5 Sundays. January, May, July, and October. IUMC has a tradition where they have one service where their 9:00 and 10:30 services come together into one service which is held at 10:00am. We have been and still are invited to attend this special service however PCF may start doing something different on the 5th Sundays. Stay tuned as the board and I discuss the possibilities. It could be meeting at Glik park in the summer. Having an afternoon service. Other suggestions are welcome. This is just something we are looking into. We are still invited to attend the IUMC 10:00 service. 

Coffee and donuts on PCF Sundays. On the Sundays that we lead worship, we are looking for a couple of volunteers to come in before the service and make the coffee and bring the donuts, cookies etc. We lead service 2x per month. This past week we had Sandy Fultz, Nancy Darnell, Sally McLachlan.

We are getting involved with people! That is a huge part of the gospel. Jesus needs all of our hands, feet, mouths, and ears. You can be a blessing!

I'll keep updating the events so stay tuned. 

Sincerely, pastor kent.
