John 17:1-5 reads, “After saying all these things, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you. 2 For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him. 3 And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth. 4 I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5 Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began.”

Over the next three (3) months, we will be engaging in a sermon series entitled, “Glory.” In our Glory series, we will be surveying numerous chapters of John’s Gospel. The primary focus will be to illumine our minds and hearts to be attentive to manifestations of Jesus’ glory.

Join us weekly as we unpack various passages in John’s Gospel that give us insight into Jesus’ glory magnified to the people of Israel, His first followers, and the world. Our prayer is for God to use this series of messages to help us bring glory to the Triune God in every facet of our lives.

The board announced this past Sunday, that we are entering into a candidating period with Prince Thomas for our next Lead Pastor.  The candidating week will run from April 21st-28th.  

Our first event will be Sunday April 21st after the Sunday service. We will plan to begin right around 11:45 and the board will be providing a light lunch.  Please plan to stay after the service to get to know Prince and Marisa better, hear about their call to ministry and to PCC.  Prince will also be speaking to the mission and vision at PCC and as well as some of the work surrounding the Key Result Areas as identified by our Health Assessment.  There will also be an opportunity for the congregation to engage in a question and answer time with Prince. Childcare will be provided during the meeting in room 100.

If you are unable to stay after the service on Sunday, we will also be hosting a second event to get to know Prince and Marisa better on Tuesday, April 23rd at 7pm in room 100.  This will mostly be a repeat of our Sunday meeting, so there is no need to attend both. 

If you are unable to make it out to either of these meetings, but would like to join in online on Tuesday evening, please fill out this form, so we know who to send the link to.  We will have a board member moderating the online chat so you will also be able to ask questions of Prince.  After both meetings, you are welcome to come and chat with board members and ask questions of them or share your thoughts with them.

Prince will wrap up his candidating week on April 28th by preaching on Sunday morning.

If you have any feedback for the board during the candidating period, please feel free to send your thoughts to eldersboard@pacificcommunity.ca or speak to a board member in person.  We will be receiving feedback until May 1st.  The board will then go through a final discernment period with the district superintendent.

Please continue to hold PCC, Prince and Marisa, and the board in your prayers as we continue in this next step of our Lead Pastor search.

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. 

There will be a LIVE dessert auction the same time as our Pie in the Face Fundraiser on Sunday, May 5th right after the worship service to cover youth ministry costs. 

We invite you to make a dessert of choice (pie, cake, pastries, etc.) for us to auction off to fundraise money for our youth ministry! Help us continue the good work we are seeing!

Please arrive at the church 15 minutes early to drop off your dessert. It would be helpful if you could make a label or sign to go with your dessert explaining what it is and if it is gluten free, dairy free, what it contains, etc.
