There will be no service this coming Sunday, December the 29th!
We will resume services January 5th, please get the word out. All is good it’s just a scheduling issue with guests and activities at the Schuette household.
Dear PCF family, I am so grateful for each and everyone of you. You have been patient, forgiving, dedicated, and have hung in there even when our journey kept moving us here and there and we faced many obstacles. Today, I want you all to know that my love for each and everyone of you is stronger and deeper than I can even describe. It’s hard to believe that Christmas is already over for this year. Now it is time to begin planning for 2020. I am looking forward to the New Year to see what God has for the PCF family. I have been praying about our future and soon I will be discussing some of the things I believe God has for us this coming year. I pray that you are all being blessed by the services and that God is speaking to you and leading you into a deeper understanding of His Kingdom and the plans He has you. If I could give each of you just one thing that I think would have the most positive impact in your life, I would tell you to pray often. Pray about everything! Go to God before you make any major decisions. Go to God when you are angry, when you are happy, when you are afraid, when you need direction, go to Him for everything and then give Him time to answer you. Be willing to wait! Spend more time with God everyday. I know that your schedules are very booked but there is always a way for you to spend more time with Him. You can do it Before, After, or Instead of!
Remember! God gave his wandering people the Israelites daily Manna while they were in the desert. Jesus repeated this when he taught his disciples to pray, “Give us this day, our daily bread!” Jesus and his teachings are the bread from heaven. We need this daily bread of teaching and the power of the Holy Spirit. It is what sustains our Christian walk. This life is very complex and full of temptations that the evil one has designed to lead us away from the blessings of God and none of us are immune to these temptations. Don’t be fooled into following the liar, the thief, and the destroyer. He is very good at what he does and his primary mission is to keep you from walking close with Jesus. You cannot resist the evil one in your own power, it is impossible. You must rely on the power of the Holy Spirit and the help of Christian friends and family. That is the one of the main reasons for meeting together regularly. We come to learn, yes, but we also need to spend time with one another to share our struggles and battles. I know this seems to be something no one is comfortable with, sharing our battles and weaknesses, but that is what a church family is for. Keeping our battles to our selves is just another tactic of the deceiver to keep you from finding Godly strength. Let’s make this an amazing year of Spiritual growth for you and your family. Be bold for the things of Jesus! With much love, pastor kent

Revival comes when people get dissatisfied with what is and yearn deeply for what could be! The power to change comes from prayer and the Holy Spirit. Prayer initiates the connection to God’s Kingdom and the Holy Spirit comes to direct and manage. Our part is to step out in faith and do what He directs us to do.
See you soon! Love, pastor kent
