Ministry News - March 31, 2022

Hello Prairie Bible family,
Once a year or so here at PBC we open an online pop-up shop for you to grab Prairie Bible tees, sweatshirts, hats, 1/4-zips, and—new this year—a canvas bag.
Yes, a quality tee is nice and we like to think the logo is great, but these simple apparel items are so much more than gear. Over and over again, we've witnessed how garments can point to the power and hope of Jesus Christ. A shirt can be an inroad to share Jesus.
Order for yourself. Order for your friend. Order to grow the Kingdom. 

Worship
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Psalm 150:6
