Ministry News - October 14, 2022

Our fall all-church study begins with a message from Pastor Craig this Sunday. Each week for the next 6 weeks we'll dive into a chapter of What's so Spiritual about Your Gifts? The short book is all about the work and power of the Holy Spirit. We're excited to grow in His power with you! 
On another note, join us as we read through the Bible to mark our 5th anniversary as a church. Sign-up here to take part in the 12 day, out loud, cover-to-cover journey.

The Bible Out Loud! Reading began 10.12 and will conclude 10.22. Join us as we mark our 5 year anniversary. Sign-up here for a 30 minute slot to read at PBC. Questions: Ron Bunch. 
Fall study coming up! Each spring and fall we host an all-church study. Our goal is to know God more through through a church-wide focus on a particular subject. This fall we're reading What's so Spiritual about Your Gifts? It's not what you think—this isn't a spiritual gifts inventory. It's about the giver of those gifts—the Holy Spirit. Pastor Craig and Pastor Billy will share messages inspired by the book beginning 10.16. 
Kids Life Group! Every Sunday morning during the message we'll gather to grow in Christ and community. During the month of October we're exploring everything about what it means that God is patient. Our memory verse is 2 Peter 3:9. Memorize it with us!
