EVERYONE SUNDAY WORSHIP
We are continuing to assess the safety of our worshipers on a week to week basis. We are still REQUIRING all attendees to wear masks or cloth face coverings over the nose and mouth while in the church building. If you are uncomfortable with this, we understand and ask that you attend worship online. To help ensure we hold our worship services safely, we ask that you reserve a seat for you and childcare online at pcpc.org/reserve-seat. If you or anyone in your party have had COVID-like symptoms in the past 7 days, we ask that you please worship online with us at pcpc.org/live.
NEW MEMBERS CLASS Begins February 7
The New Member Class gives you the opportunity to hear from different ministry leaders and learn more about our church’s beliefs, purpose, vision, and mission. We talk about the benefits and expectations of membership and walk through the constitutional questions (membership vows) to join the church. We want all our members to connect to Christ and to one another, to abide in Christ, and to extend Christ. We want you to understand what these things mean and how you can take your next step in Christ as you become a member. More info at pcpc.org /events.
THE KING’S STORIES
Our Women’s and Men’s Bible Studies will begin in February. Our Children’s Ministry is also offering preschool lessons, crafts, and activities to compliment your study on The King’s Stories. Our Focus Class is a unique midweek class offering men’s, women’s, or couples small group discussion time of a Scripture lesson followed by a lecture on the passage. We are excited to see what God will do in and through each of us as we study the parables of Jesus. Please register at pcpc.org/studies.
