Greetings Team ~

Well, this week I need you all to pray. Seriously, we need to pray!
We've seen this theme of LOVE for the past few months. People have been trying to live that theme more fully, so naturally, Satan is pissed! He is going to be working overtime to cause trouble. We have a lot of new people attending the church, which is great! They bring with them their own issues and expectations, which when added to what is already there, has the potential for strife. We have an open staff position in the very important Children's Ministry, and 2 positions on the Ministry Team. Areas that the now defunct Pastoral Team used to deal with, and our ongoing money issues. As you can see, there is lots of potential for problems. I do hope that I'm way off base and being a worry-wort. If we faithfully seek God and his will, and continue to love, most problems will be avoided.
Please pray for the Nominating Committee as they bring candidates to the Ministry Team to fill all the open positions. Also, pray for the By-Laws Committee as they make changes to the By-laws that will have an effect on all the members of the church. Pray for Russ and all the leadership of the church, including staff.
Pray too for Night in Bethlehem, the outreach possibilities, and what your involvement will be in the event.

Other things to pray about:
The PCC fundraising event that our team will be providing the music for (please excuse the poor sentence structure...lol)
The 20th anniversary celebration for our church
Dawn's health, and ministry opportunities
Julie's continued recovery
Heather's neck issues and headaches
Songs & Services this week:

All Because of Jesus
I Am Free
Blessed Be Your Name
Better is One Day
To You
Worthy is the Lamb
Mighty To Save

Scripture ~ 2 John: 1-6

Thanks for your continued service and support of the Worship Ministry of PBEFC. I pray for you all often, and trust that God will greatly bless you (even more than He already has).
Have a great week!

Matt
