A cross was installed in our worship space recently as a front and center reminder of who and whose we are.

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.

Kids Life Group! Every Sunday morning during Pastor Craig's message we'll gather to grow in Christ and community. This week's teaching and fun is based on the rich Gospel summary picture book The Garden, the Curtain, and the Cross. 

Serve
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Romans 12:11
Books and school supplies. Students at Hoover Elementary in CR are in need of school supplies and reading books. Hit especially hard by the derecho, several students are displaced from their homes. With the potential for at-home learning on the horizon, there is a call for school supplies and picture and chapter books for these children to have at home to facilitate their learning. Used books are welcome. All types of school supplies are welcome. Bring your gifts to the donation box near the Miracle Barn at PBC.
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.
