Pastor’s Update

Dear friend of Pine Mountain Christian Community Church,

Just a heads up: This Sunday is Mother’s Day! We plan to give thanks to God for the mothers who come. We will do this by giving each mother a gift, praying for them, and then taking a look at one of the great mothers in the Bible. I would tell you the name of this biblical mother, but the Bible doesn’t tell us her name. She is simply referred to the Shunammite woman. She is called that because she is from the city of Shunam. It just goes to show you that you don’t have to be famous to be great in God’s eyes. What made her great? Her respect for God and His prophet, her contentment with the provision of God, and Her confidence in the Power of God. I’m sure her example will be a blessing to all of us. So be sure and bring your mother to church! And mothers, please come so we can honor you and pray for you.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THESE COMMENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:     

* A big “THANK YOU” to everyone who came to the Work Day at the church last Saturday! It’s great to have clean windows, floors, wood, seats, and yard!

* In addition to Mother’s Day, this is Communion Sunday. After the sermon, we will take the bread and the cup and remember the price that Jesus paid to purchase our salvation. We will also take up a retiring offering at the end of the service to help needy people in our community.

* Do you need a shelf? We removed the double shelf from the Children’s Church room. If you need a shelf, take a look at it before we dispose of it – it is outside of the Children’s Church sliding glass door.  

* May 15th and 16th is the Lilac Festival here in Pine Mountain Club! Please plan to join us at church next week so that we can encourage and welcome visitors! We can be a great blessing to people visiting town as we unite our hearts in worship.
