Pastor’s Update

Dear friend of Pine Mountain Christian Community Church,

Why Pray? If God knows what we want before we ask, why pray? If God has already planned the future, why pray? If God is sovereign, why pray? Here’s the answer: God is interested in developing a personal relationship with us. He wants us to know Him and experience His power and mercy. It is only as we talk with God and He talks to us through His Word that we come to know Him and experience His love and plan for our lives.

And much of the time, although God knows what we need, we don’t know what we need! Prayer is not about informing an ignorant god about what we want – it’s about getting to know our Heavenly Father and coming to understand His perfect will. This Sunday, August 16th, we will continue our look at the Lord’s prayer. I’m sure God has much for us to learn as we follow the teachings of Jesus on how to pray.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THESE COMMENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:     

*  This Sunday, August 16th, there will be a Church Council Meeting at 12 noon in the church library.

* I want to remind everyone that we have a library with some great books: resource books, new releases, fiction, and classics.  There is also a lot of books for children available to take out and read to your kids or grandkids.

* Please pray for our students, as they will be starting school this week. Pray that they will trust Jesus in every situation and learn to depend on Him as they work on their assignments.
