Disciple
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19
Walk with Jesus During service on Sunday, April 14 our Kids Life group will walk through Holy week, experiencing the shouts of Hosanna, the Last Supper, and Jesus death on the cross. We will finish the Easter story with the joy of the empty tomb. It’ll be an awesome, hands-on experience that you don’t want to miss. All kids welcome! Invite friends!
Middle Youth Group Join us! Sunday, April 14 from 3 to 6 pm in Fairfax. All 4th through 8th graders welcome! This month we are digging into “Speak Life” by Toby Mac and making fleece blankets for children in homeless shelters. RSVP to Megan – megan@hughesnursery.com
Thinking about a Life Group? If you’re not in a Life Group, Lent is a great time to get a feel for the life-changing power of growing in Christ alongside brothers and sisters in our community here at PBC. Make the short-term commitment for Lent and then pray about becoming Life Group member beyond. Interested? Contact Pastor Craig, Tom, or Mark and they’ll connect you!
Kids Life Group Community + God’s Truth + Joy. Every Sunday Morning. Preschool through 6th grade. In April our attribute of God is omnipotent. What does it mean? How does God want us to live in light of our knowledge that He is omnipotent?
 
Serve
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Romans 12:11
NEED: Fleece please! Our middle youth are making fleece tie blankets for a local homeless shelter. We are in need of fleece. Can you help? We welcome 1 ½ yard increments of any color. Bring donations to church by 4/14.
