Worship News:
Here at Prairie Bible we’ve worshiped with the help of YouTube for 38 weeks. There are a whole lot of beautiful things about YouTube and worship—and here at PBC we’ve experienced a lot of those. But God nudged us to take the next step. To make worship more personal. He brought us Keith and Estelle Nester to lead this time of transition. We worshiped alongside them last week and our time together was real and joyful and funny and, most important, glorified our Lord and Savior. Join us for round #2 of our new season this week.
