MISSIONS prayer time for missionaries
Is prayer your "this?" For many of you who attended the Global Missions Conference or worshiped in Fellowship Hall on that Sunday, you heard about “Finding Your This.” One very important part of missions is prayer. Join us to pray for our PCPC missionaries Sunday, December 10, 8:30 am, in the Parlor, and you may discover that your “this” is prayer! We pray through the Missionary Prayer Booklet monthly. cindy.rhea@pcpc.org or 214-224-2551
