PCC News: April 25, 2024
Dear PCC Family,
Message From Pastor John Andrew
Greetings, PCC!
It seems as if spring is finally beginning to “spring” in Central New York! It has been so refreshing to feel the warmth of the sun and to see the color come to life in the flower beds and to hear the songbirds. It is as if life has now come from winter!
This image of new life is certainly one that Paul had in mind as he wrote his letter to the Philippians. Paul’s desire was to re-awaken the faith of the Philippian church and to see it flourish as he reminded them of their hope in the gospel. As we begin to conclude our series in Philippians, I similarly pray that the Lord has used this little letter to remind you of the glory of our King Jesus!
This week, we will explore God’s glory and our joy in gospel peace! Join us and invite a friend!
Blessings, JA
Sunday, April 28
Here’s what’s happening this Sunday morning at PCC:
- Pastor John Andrew will continue his series in Philippians (God’s Glory, Our Joy) and be preaching from Philippians 4:2-9.
- There will be children’s church today for 4 years through 3rd grade. They will be dismissed after the kids’ message,
- Nursery for 0-3 year-olds is available for the entire service.
Your Help Is Needed!
Immediately after the service this Sunday we will be moving chairs out and tables into the sanctuary for the Women’s Outreach Brunch. If you can help us that would be greatly appreciated! (Also, if you can help reset the sanctuary after the brunch we need you for that too. Resetting will take place on Saturday, May 4, about 11:00 am. And please let Steve know?)
Women’s Outreach Brunch
Last call! If you are interested in attending the Women’s Outreach Brunch on May 4 and haven’t been assigned to a table yet please email Beckstephens@gmail.com. We want to make sure that everyone who is interested has a seat.
Security Training Meeting
On Wednesday, May 15, all PCC men and women are invited for pizza and wings, 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. Details coming soon!
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 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.
