It’s that time again to come and join us for another week of continuous 24-7 prayer June 4th to June 11th.  Bring your praises, your petitions, your joys and your grief and come and find some context as you hold them all in The Light of Eternity.  Please sign up using the link here and sign up for multiple time slots.

For those that cannot come to the church in person we are asking folks to sign up for times between 7 PM and 7 AM to pray at home or where you choose. The hours of 7 AM to 7 PM will be reserved for those who can and want to be physically in the prayer room. Come and be blessed. 

If you have any questions please contact Kevin at kevintribe44@gmail.com.  

The Alpha group is heading into Holy Spirit weekend this Saturday. We are so thankful for the deep conversations we’ve had over the past 7 weeks and how God has been knitting together a community of care on Monday evenings. We have faced challenges and seen prayers answered and as we anticipate the coming weekend, we covet your prayers over the guests and leaders and the whole day. We are so excited to see how and where God is working and want to press in on that. Join us in prayer in the days leading up to it and throughout the day Saturday. I’m so thankful for the community that holds us up!

We invite YOU to an evening of congregational singing for ALL AGES on April 30th, from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. Lifting high the name of our Lord through the singing of hymns, sponsored by our 55+ Group!

Please bring a dessert to share; coffee and tea will be provided.  RSVP HERE to let us know you will be coming! 

Join PCC women on May 13th from 8:30am to 3pm, as we unpack what the Bible has to say about our true, God-given identities. The cost is $40 and includes breakfast and lunch! 

With guest speakers Elita Friesen and Anne Miranda, we'll examine not what society has to say, but what God has to say about who we are; because, as important as our roles are as wives, moms, aunts, friends, employees, employers, (fill in the blank!) we are more than what we do.

Join us as we consider what it means to be women of God: called, equipped, sent...what it means to be fully known.

Click on the link below for more info and to register by Sunday, April 30th!

Pastor Jon will be teaching a PCC U course that will take an in-depth look at why we can trust the Scriptures and what the evidence is for saying that our Bible is reliable. We will look at trusting the source, the transmission, and the translation. This will be a course offered over 2 nights (Wednesdays, May 24 & 31). Each night will be from 7 pm - 8:30 pm

Can you trust the scriptures to be the word of God?
"You can't trust the Bible because it has changed so much over the years." Have you heard a statement like that before? Or what about, "Don't you know that there were other letters that the disciples wrote but Constantine kept those out in the Council of Nicaea." Questions and statements like these represent a sceptical view of the reliability of the Bible. Do you know what to say to questions like these? Have you ever wondered if this ancient document can be trusted today?

Register HERE!

God is moving powerfully in the hearts of the next generation, and many students are encountering Jesus in a personal and intimate way.
