Rick & Janette Schellenberg and Sarah Mast are busy planning the next hike on May 27th for 9am at Belcarra Reginal Park.

For PCC hikers, or aspiring PCC hikers (and friends), here is another hike event to consider. This time it's a reasonably flat hike along the waterfront trail in Belcarra Regional Park, from the parking lot to Admiralty Point, then on to Burns Point and then back to the parking lot. RSVP HERE for the May 27th hike!

For more information and to join the conversation about future hikes, please check out the facebook page PCC goes Hiking!

The Pregnancy Options Centre works in our community to help teens, youth, women and families that are facing an unplanned pregnancy.  They have been reaching out to people in need for 37 years! 

Our church wants to support them in this 'front-line' ministry again this year by joining with them for their annual Baby Bottle Campaign from Mothers Day to Fathers Day!  Your donations mean that the women, men and unborn children that need help in our own community always have a place to turn to for support and encouragement!

The campaign is virtual again this year! Please visit their website HERE for more info and HERE to make your donation.  You can also support them by praying for the ministry and by sharing the campaign with your family and friends!

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?

God is moving powerfully in the hearts of the next generation, and many students are encountering Jesus in a personal and intimate way. Students are becoming deeply committed, and there is increasing student involvement in our youth ministry. We believe that God has much more in store for our students and their unreached friends. Help us continue this good work by donating a dessert to be auctioned off!

There will be a LIVE dessert auction the same time as our Pie in the Face Fundraiser on Sunday, May 28th to cover hospitality, event, leadership, and discipleship costs. 

If you are able to make a pie or dessert to be auctioned off, please contact Diane at diane.wong@pacificcommunity.ca

Please join us right after the 10am service in the common area. Bring a cheque book, cash or pay online (we even take IOU's). We appreciate your support! Any extra funds will be put towards our annual fall retreat at Camp Kawkawa.

Join our youth on Sunday, May 28th after our 10am service in the common area for our annual PIE AUCTION AND PIE IN THE FACE fundraiser! There will be yummy desserts being auctioned off, AND whipping cream pies to pie Pastors Jon, Alex, Paula, and Diane in the face!! Yes, Shelley is making her peanut butter cheesecake ;)

All donations will go towards our youth ministry, covering hospitality, event, discipleship, and leadership costs. Extra funds will go towards Camp Kawkawa.

The pursuit of Justice is one such value here at Pacific. If you were to search the world for the essence of justice you would find it perfectly in the character of God. The Scriptures consistently describe God as perfectly just and biblical stories portray him in this way too. The followers of God are called to His presence and are bid to work out the justice of God within relationships - humanity with God, humanity with one another and humanity with creation.

In our Spring preaching series at Pacific, we will be looking at stand-alone texts and the last two chapters of Jonah for God’s word on how we might be a community more defined by the value of Transformative Justice. 

Summer is almost here!  In order to give our regular volunteers a break, we will be hosting Sunday movie mornings during our July services (for Preschool-Grade 4 kids).

Parents, if you don't regularly serve in Kids' Church and are available to help supervise a movie morning in July, please note your availability via the link below.  Thank you for helping to give our volunteers a break!
