Here at Pacific, we value Life Together, Spiritual Formation, Embodying the Gospel and Transformative Justice.  Out of these values, PCC's leadership is excited to announce that we've made the decision to hire Zipporah Hantke in a part time position as she works with CCK and PCC to see our values lived out in the lives of our CCK clients.

Welcome to the Team, Zipporah!

We are going on a walk in the great outdoors!  Join us on Sunday, February 20 at 2 PM as we head to Houstan Look Out Trail to enjoy the fresh outdoors and enjoy a time of fellowship together!  Our Newcomers Family will be joining us - so if you have a young family, we hope you can come and get to know Benjamin, Kiyana and Nila (2 years old).

Meet at Houstan Look Out Trail at 2 PM and let's spend some time walking and talking!

Join us on Saturday February 26 for the biggest fundraiser of the year! CNOY 2022!!

Come to the church between 1-4 PM on Saturday, February 26 and sign in (if you have already registered).

Or, fully register onsite the day of! 

If you donate or have donated $150 or more to CNOY, you can pick up your "FREE" toque and walk in style!

Walk a 2 KM route or a 5 KM route around Downtown Cloverdale - or choose to walk remotely.  Walk with a team and make a statement as you walk in support of CCK.  Start from the church or drive to the downtown area and walk from there.  Maps will be available for each group walking and the map will indicate which businesses are open to cheer you on (might even get a treat from them!) 

If you've never done this before - we hope you will try it out this year!  It's FUN!  We'd be happy to help you through the process of signing up - fundraising - getting others to join your team!  Call us and we will help you:  778-617-3000

We now have FIFTY teams walking in support of CCK!  That is amazing!! 
And, to date we have raised $88,300

Together we CAN make a difference!

Our Mobile Meals program continues to receive such positive feedback from its clients - very encouraging to the Team!  Moments ago we received this lovely email:

"I just wanted to let you know how delicious these dinners are!  Wow!!  Thank you again!"

The meals are lovingly prepared by two of our cooks and dozens of our volunteers.  We have been able to keep our meals to the low cost of $5/meal, delivered to your door, Monday to Thursday.

Help us spread the word - tell a friend - tell your neighbours - tell your family!  Sign up by calling 778-617-3000, ext. 2.

 Need Ideas for your Growth Group Studies?  Check out the Sanctuary Course!

We were never meant to do life alone!  Why not join a Growth Group and consider going through The Sanctuary Course!  This is an eight-week study guide for small groups. Each week participants will gather together, read through the content out loud or listen to it on audiobook, watch a film, and engage in conversation, reflection, and prayer. With a free subscription, the course is available for you and your group. 

What themes/topics are covered in the Sanctuary Course?
- Over the course of eight sessions, your group’s participants will:
- Explore the intersection of faith and mental health
- Expand their understanding of mental health and mental illness
- Examine the effects of stigma
- Define the principles and processes of recovery
- Reflect on the importance of companionship
- Learn about self-care
- Discuss next steps for their community

Starting this Sunday we will be diving into a new sermon series that is based off of our second value at PCC, Spiritual Formation. We will be spending a number of weeks in the OT book of Daniel to see how the people of God engaged in Spiritual Formation while they were exiles in the foreign land of Babylon. Through this deep look into scripture, we will be asking the big question, how can the church engage in Spiritual Formation within a secular society? I believe this series will help us press in on the Lord for his guidance in how we can be a Faithful Presence in such a time as this.

If you are not able to join us for our in person service, please connect with us online for our Livestream!  Service starts at 10 AM each Sunday.
