FAITH & CULTURE: LIGON DUNCAN

FEBRUARY 19 | 5:00 P.M. | SANCTUARY

How do we maintain unity in the church and extend Christ to the world as political polarization continues to increase around us? In a world where people are full of contempt for those with whom they disagree, we will consider how we can live as disciples of Christ with wisdom, humility, and love.”

PCPC WOMEN’S RETREAT

February 24-26, 2023

Join us for a relaxing getaway connecting with women from our church family. Enjoy worship, teaching, meals, and time abiding with the Lord at the beautiful Allaso Ranch in Hawkins, Texas. Registration is $250. If you must cancel your registration for any reason, you will receive a refund minus $50 until February 1st. After Feb. 1st, there are no refunds, and your registration fee will be given as a scholarship for someone else to attend the retreat.

Once registered, you will receive an email at a later date where you will specify your roommate requests. The cabins sleep 8 lower bunks. If you have friends you would like to be in your cabin, remind them to register! Please make sure all in your party have registered before submitting requests.

Author and teacher Courtney Garrett will help us uncover how a posture of confident expectation in the Lord can shape how we view our seasons of waiting, culminating in our patient longing for His return.

We hope you can join us for another incredible weekend away!

Crates for Ukraine

January 2 through March 16

PCPC long-time missionaries, Masha & Doug Shepherd have asked US churches to help. This endeavor is to provide personal and humanitarian aid from the hands of our churches in the US to the hands of MTW Ukrainian churches and believing displaced communities. The winter CFU initiative is that we no longer need couriers to fly crates to Poland. All crates will be delivered to either Dallas or Chattanooga. We have (2) partner shipping companies that are helping us collect, palletize, fly and deliver aid to Lviv. These companies are providing their services to us for free!
