ESSENTIAL PATHS: STEWARDS OF GRACE
FEBRUARY 6 – MARCH 6 Whether you have been walking as a Christian for days or decades, we all need growth and renewal. One of the key steps along this path is cultivating a life of generosity. Join us as we explore how God’s generosity to us compels us to use our time, talent, and treasure in generosity to others. This is the second course in our new Essential Paths series of discipleship courses. pcpc.org/essential-paths
PASTORAL CARE TRAINING
FEBRUARY 7 – MARCH 14 Have you desired to help a friend or family member walk through a difficult season but just not known how? You are invited to participate in a special six-week class dealing with the topic of building healthy and deeply meaningful relationships. While you will be given the opportunity to sharpen your skill set and add tools to your tool belt, you will also have the opportunity to look deeply into your heart and life and how these topics impact you on a personal basis. It should be a great time of fellowship, learning, introspection, and application. This class will meet on Monday nights from February 7 to March 14, 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Register on the PCPC app or at pcpc.org/events.
