THISWEEK@PCPC

Using Rosaria Butterfield’s book, The Gospel Comes with a House Key, as a launch point for our lunch discussion, join current PCPC members who use their home as a place to further God’s Kingdom by welcoming in those who look, think, believe, and act differently into their everyday lives—helping them see what true Christian faith really looks like. This should be a lively, thought provoking time that will spur you to consider how to use your home to extend the Kingdom. Join us on Sunday, February 24, 12:15-1:30 p.m., Fellowship Hall. Lunch will be provided, donations accepted. Please RSVP jenna.tenpenny@pcpc.org or 214-224-2501

The evening concludes with an intimate dinner around a dining table. Eating together opens the door for some incredible conversations, and we love getting the chance to spend time with women that we know and do not know. We are a part of Christ's family as His children and are deeply connected because of that. Everything else is icing on the cake, and it is a joy to learn and grow because of those around us. We have loved hearing the Lord's provision on group dynamics at each house, how the Lord has connected women through dinner and conversation, and how groups have continued to meet even after Come to the Table is over.

We would absolutely love to have YOU with us this year on Friday, February 22. We will begin at the church from 5:30-6:15 p.m. for the service project in the Fellowship Hall. After hearing from leaders at YoungLives, we will spend time worshiping in the Sanctuary before selecting your dinner location. Bring a friend and live life together! Please RSVP to anncarolyn.williams@pcpc.org to reserve your spot for dinner. We can't wait to see you there!

sympathies • Steve & Celeste Tenpenny (CC#04) on the loss of their nephew; Brian Tenpenny (CC#04), Jenna Tenpenny (CC#04) & Jason Tenpenny (CC#22) on the loss of their cousin, Austin Tenpenny, on January 12, 2019.

he Women's Ministry at Park Cities Presbyterian Church's prayer and desire has been to provide a place for the big church to feel small and connected through Come to the Table. Women of all ages are invited to serve and worship together inside the walls of our church home and then head to members’ homes where dinner and great conversation is provided. Time after time, women have felt known, heard, and connected through this beautiful evening, and for that, we say thank you to the Lord!

This year’s Come to the Table will have a similar feeling to evenings in the past. Our service project will benefit the YoungLives ministry here in North Dallas. YoungLives ministers to teenage moms and their children through connections at their high schools. We will have the opportunity, as a church body, to provide items for the moms and babies to help as they head to a one-week summer camp created to love on these young ladies and share the gospel with them. What an honor to be a part of their story! There's something about serving together that brings us closer together as a community. We would love to have you join us!
