CPC will gather this day as a congregation to serve our neighbors—families, children, the homeless, and those who have been incarcerated. Compelled by the love of Christ, our purpose is to share His love as we walk and work alongside our neighbors throughout the city of Dallas. This is a great opportunity for every age and stage to come together for a fun day of fellowship with each other and our neighbors. The cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. Register at www.pcpc.org/registrations. Questions? Contact christina.spruill@pcpc.org or 214-224-2520. Watch the video at www.pcpc.org/beyond-ourselves

New books and DVDs!
We have some new resources for you in our library. Feel free to check them out Monday– Friday, 8:30 am–5:00 pm and Sunday, 9:00 am–1:00 pm. For adults, thumb through Louis Markos's Apologetics for the 21st Century or see Nancy Guthrie's Holding on to Hope. And you will appreciate Calvin Stapert's Handel’s Messiah: Comfort for God’s People. For youth, check out A City Through Time or see The Legionary, which depicts the life of a Roman soldier from AD 85 to his retirement in AD 115. In addition, One Small Square: Seashore examines life in the sea through illustration and interesting text. We also have a new DVD entitled Collision, which displays the confrontation of ideas between Christopher Hitchens and Douglas Wilson. And for children, we have these new DVDs: VeggieTales's The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything and Walt Disney's Pooh’s Heffalump.
