Weekly Word (July 4-24)

Hello Friends,

DISCIPLE BIBLE STUDY COMING THIS FALL

Beginning this fall, a short-term (11 weeks) Disciple Bible Study will be offered on the Gospel of John.  If you have been interested in this study that was introduced at PCCC last year, but could not commit to a longer study, this may be the Bible Study for you.  I will be teaching “Disciple Bible Study: Invitation to John”  on Sunday evenings from 6:30-8 p.m. beginning Sept. 14 thru Dec. 14.  The orientation for this class will be Sunday, Sept. 7 at 12:30 p.m.  For more information, see the display and sign-up sheets in the narthex. 

NEW DIRECTORIES AVAILABLE

Thanks to Jan Legg and Arlene Flock, there are updated PCCC directories now available.  Pick up your family’s copy in the narthex.  

GUEST PREACHERS IN JULY

Guest preachers scheduled in July are Rev. Dr. Janice Johnson Hume on July 13, who will be preaching from Psalm 119:105-112, and Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 on “Growing Roots.”  Rev. Dr. Jack Snellgrove will be preaching on July 20 from Psalm 139 on “A God Who Sees in the Dark.” 

DIVORCE SUPPORT GROUP MEETS IN JULY

Looking ahead, the group continues their study “The Art of Forgiving,” beginning at 6 till 7:30 p.m. on Sundays July 13 and July 27.  Bring a dish to share; childcare is provided. 

DISCIPLE WOMEN’S GROUP TO LAUNCH AUG. 9

Calling Disciple Women!  A second Disciple Women’s Group is coming soon!  Are you interested in building up the body of PCCC Disciple Women?  Any interested women are invited to breakfast and fellowship on Saturday, Aug. 9 at 8 a.m. (at the church) to explore adding another Disciple Women's group.  This group will be different than a traditional Christian Women’s Fellowship (CWF) as we will explore other ideas for fellowship; possibilities include having an outreach or mission focus, book club, study or other interests brought by the group.   Watch for a sign up sheet in the narthex. Contact Jamie Ray for more information

THE LAST WORD

O Omnipotent God, who cares for each of us as if no one else existed and for all of us as if we were all but one! Blessed is the person who loves You.  To You I entrust my whole being and all I have received from You.  You made me for Yourself, and my heart is restless until it rests in You.   (St. Augustine of Hippo, 5th century bishop and theologian)
