Worship & Covid
Here's our working plan. We pray that it brings glory God! 

• Please enter the building through the north doors. Hand sanitizer available at entrances. East doors are also an entry option.
• Please wear a mask. We make this request out of respect for the government authorities and Linn County mask mandate. 
• Feel free to bring coffee, beverage. We won't be serving food or drink at this time.
• Our Nursery and Kids Life Group leaders are excited to share Jesus with all the children! 
• If you'd like to attend in person but remain in your car, we have a live broadcast of the service on 90.7 FM. Park on the south side the building for best reception.
• For those worshipping at home, a live stream of the service is available at 9:30 on both Facebook Live Stream and YouTube Live Stream. 

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
Anticipating Advent Dec. 1 marks the beginning of Advent.—a time to prepare your heart and mind for the birth of our Savior. A simple way to sink into the truth of the season, Advent tools point you toward Jesus. Here's a reading plan for families that we created for PBC. It is based on the Jesus Storybook Bible. Adults: there are many great Advent tools on YouVersion, a dynamic, interactive Bible app.
Middle Youth Group We hope to gather in December! As soon as God brings clarity to the time and place, we'll share it out. Meanwhile, join us in prayer for our young people as they shine a light for Jesus in their virtual environments!
Bible 101 Classes Find links to all the Bible 101 classes on our website. Led by Pastor Craig, this 4-class series was recently presented and is an awesome intro to the Bible. Handouts and videos of the classes are online for you! 
Kids Life Group! Every Sunday morning during Pastor Craig's message we'll gather to grow in Christ and community. We're walking toward the manger with our Christmas theme "Chosen too." 

Serve
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Romans 12:11
Christmas Choir We're assembling a CDC-friendly Christmas choir for our Christmas Eve service. 2 simple selections + 2 simple practices = a joyful noise to the Lord! Watch the Ministry Note here for more info. 
Dec. 6 Congregational Meeting We'll gather right after service on Dec. 6 for an update on all things administrative and ministry here at PBC. Join us for a short presentation and, most important, a discussion about where God is calling us, with time for Q&A. 
Fabric Mask Update Our dedicated PBC seamstress Nancy Zahn crafted more than 300 masks for PBC over the last 4 months. She is transitioning to making masks for Prairie Schools now. Nancy is happy to make you a custom mask if you need. Just give her a ring: 319/558-6727.
Skills Survey We're building a simple database of where and how you would like to serve the Kingdom—@PBC and beyond. Here's a link to the fillable form. You are welcome to print and fill out the paper copy, submitting it at PBC in the Miracle Barn or save digital copy and send it to our coordinator Judy Griffith at griffhb@yahoo.com.

Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:12
