PCC News: May 2, 2024
Dear PCC Family,
Message From Pastor John Andrew
Greetings, PCC!
This is a big weekend! This Saturday will be our Women’s Outreach Brunch. Many women will gather at PCC on Saturday morning from a variety of backgrounds and it is our prayer that through the time of fellowship and the time in Scripture, the gospel would go forth! Beginning now, let us pray as a church that seeds would be planted that the Lord would make grow.
Also, on Sunday we will conclude our series in Philippians. On a personal note, it is a somewhat bittersweet feeling to wrap up my first series here at PCC. It has been such a blessing to spend time in this powerful letter and I pray the Lord has used it to help us orient our lives around the glory of God and find the fullness of joy therein!
I can’t wait to see you all on Sunday to wrap up our series and celebrate all the Lord did at the Women’s Outreach Brunch!
Blessings, JA

Here’s what’s happening this Sunday morning at PCC:
· Pastor John Andrew will complete the series from Philippians called “God’s Glory, Our Joy” today. His message is from 4:10-23.
· We will have communion at the end of the service and the kids in children’s church will be brought back in during the song just before communion. We want to make communion available for those kids who have decided to trust in Jesus, and for the other kids who will benefit from observing the sacrament of communion.
· There will be children’s church today for 4 years through 3rd grade.
· Nursery for 0-3 year-olds is available for the entire service.
Your Help Is Needed This Saturday!
The Women’s Outreach Brunch will take place this Saturday (May 4). Last Sunday the sanctuary was cleared out and tables and chairs were set up and it looks great in there. Now when the brunch is over on Saturday (it’s scheduled to end at 11:00 am) we need to reset the sanctuary for Sunday’s worship service. We will need lots of help to do this. Can we count on you? If we can, would you please text Steve at 315.414.6980? THANK YOU!
Brand New Picnic Tables
Did you notice the 6 brand-new, custom-made picnic tables under the pavilion? They are there for you to use! So come up with your family, small group, neighbors, or your fellow workers and enjoy a meal together. And if you time it right you might enjoy a spectacular sunset.
Free Community Dinner
This will be offered on Monday, May 13, starting at 5:00 pm. Why not invite some friends who need to be blessed by delicious food and loving PCCers?
Security Training Meeting
On Wednesday, May 15, all PCC men and women are invited for pizza, followed by a safety and security presentation by Matt Mallory, Founder and Lead Instructor of Public Safety and Education. Pizza will be served at 6:00 pm, with Matt’s presentation running 6:30-8:30 pm. We take the safety of all who come to PCC very seriously and Matt has been instrumental in helping us stay vigilant and prepared. No prior security experience is needed.
QBAMM
The Oversight Council invites you to the first Quarterly Brunch And Ministry Meeting in 2024. This will take place after the service on Sunday, May 19 and promises to be a time for great fellowship over a delicious meal and then to celebrate some of the amazing things that God is doing at PCC. There will be signup sheets for the meal in the lobby this Sunday. Please plan to come.
Special Memorial Day Display
On Sunday, May 26, we are going to honor family and friends who were in the military and have passed away. We are looking for framed photos of them in uniform that we can display in the lobby or gym that day. Sharon Phillips will be collecting and setting these up, so please find her with your photos and questions. By the way, photos need to be to her by this Sunday, May 5 please!
Stephen Ministry Update
We are blessed to have commissioned our Stephen Ministers who are now ready to be matched with care receivers. There are cards in the pockets on the chair backs that explain more about Stephen Ministry and how to request help. The easiest way to request a Stephen Minister is to go to the PCC website where there is a Stephen Ministry link. Click on the link and scroll down to the bottom where you can find and fill out a confidential form to request a Stephen Minister and submit it. A Stephen Leader will contact you soon.
Nursery Volunteers Needed
Help! We need workers during the Sunday school hour, 9:30-10:30 am, every Sunday, to minister to our precious 0–3-year-olds. If you are a current nursery worker, please consider signing up for this time slot. If you are not a nursery worker, please contact the church office to find out how you can join the team.
