Psalm 118:24This is the day the Lord has made;  We will rejoice and be glad in it.

No matter where you go, what you do, what you think, God is there! He see's He hears, He knows, He loves you because you are His child.

Correction

The visitation for Randy's dad is at the Dewey United Methodist Church in Granite City from 1 til 2 pm with a service immediately following. The church is located at 2138 Dewey Ave. Granite City Il.

I incorrectly said the UCC church in my last message.

Live Like Jesus



Funeral services for Randy Belling's dad will be at Dewey United Church of Christ, Granite City on Sunday May 31st from 1 to 2 pm.

The bible is thick and contains unlimited wisdom! There are also many things in the bible that people disagree on. My suggestion is this, Keep it simple! Live like Jesus! Pray for guidance, love, forgive, show compassion, help people!

John 14:6-76 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

See you soon! Love, pastor kent

Randy's dad has gone on to be with the Lord!

Love one another!  pastor kent


We are all Fragile…A Summer Prayer!

Prayer Request: Randy Belling's father is in the Hospital at Christian NE in St. Louis. He is in very poor health. Please lift up Randy's family and dad in prayer. "Father God creator of all things, please bring your peace on Randy's father and give the family peace and strength. Surround Randy's dad with the love of Jesus removing all fear and giving him your Joy as he transitions from this life to you! In Jesus name, Amen.

It's summer! There are so many wonderful and beautiful things to experience this time of year and yet we must always remind ourselves that each and every one of us have a limited time on this earth. I was listening to a preacher on the radio yesterday talking about the end times, the coming of Jesus. He was talking about what must take place before Jesus returns. The bottom line is this, Jesus could return for you or me at any moment! Therefore we must always be ready. Live a life of gratitude, love, peace, joy to the best of your ability! I am going to see Stan in a few minutes. I look at Stan and see what he has endured and what he must continue to endure and also see his love for God and his hope and I am quickly reminded of just how blessed I am.

We forget! We take for granted! We get caught up in the things of this world! We all do!

"God, forgive me for my self inflicted separation from you. Forgive my ungratefulness. Forgive me of all my selfishness and self centered focus. teach me to see you and hear you in all things. Help me to keep you as the central focus of my life. Thank you for all my blessings which are many! All good things are from you and I am grateful! Thank you! Amen.

Celebrate your life with love, forgiveness, kindness, compassion, sharing, caring, and a close walk with God!

See you soon! Love, pastor kent

Stan is out of the hospital and at Edwardsville care center on St. Mary Drive and 143. Please continue to lift Stan in prayer for healing.

This coming Sunday will be our last 12:00 noon service! BUT…..BUT…….BUT….NOT our last service!  We will have service every Sunday all summer at 9:00 AM!   We are going to share the 9:00 AM service time with Immanuel Methodist! It's a perfect solution to the summer schedule when many people are traveling and busy. One big happy family this summer. Pastor Jackie and I will be sharing the role as pastor on Sundays.

All is good! The PCF music team will also be sharing the music responsibility with the Immanuel Methodist music team. Don't Worry….Be Happy!

In Case You are Wondering!



News: Stan will be transferred to Edwardsville Nursing and Rehab located on the corner of St. Mary Drive and Route 143 in Edwardsville. He will be there for about 6 weeks. Please stop by for a visit and keep Stan in your prayers

Last night we had to take "Snookie" Bonni's mom to the hospital in Granite City. She is in the ICU with undetermined heart issue. Please lift her in prayer. I will keep you posted.

PCF will meet this next Sunday for our last 12:00 noon service. 
Starting in June we will be meeting at 9:00AM every Sunday for shared worship with Immanuel Methodist congregation. Bonni and I are are going to be sharing responsibilities for Sunday worship with Pastor Jackie and with the Immanuel Methodist Praise Team. Bonni and I are going to use this Summer schedule to "recharge" our spiritual batteries. I am very dedicated to this church and it's future! So, if there are any rumors contrary to that I am dispelling them now. But, that being said, I really do need to recharge my spiritual batteries! This new time and combined schedule gives me a much needed respite and I can assure you I will use this time wisely. It was very nice coming to worship this past Sunday to be "in" the congregation.

Bonni and I will be attending a pastoral conference in Chicago in a few weeks as well as taking time to travel a bit. We both are looking forward to a re-energized future and have some plans that we will be sharing a little later this Summer. We are a great little church that has and will continue to introduce people to Jesus.

The SAKS program will be starting and if you would like to be part of this wonderful program of feeding kids lunches please contact Faye Heuchert at 618-444-5650.

See you soon. If you need a visit or have any questions call me at 618-334-3575.
Love, pastor kent
