10.24.2023 PBPC Family Bulletin
PBPC Family,
This Sunday is Commitment Sunday, an opportunity for us to celebrate God's covenant faithfulness to us and respond with commitments of our own. As part of the service, there will be time to bring forward our pledges of time, gifts, and finances as an act of worship.
If you need a commitment card, there is a link below to download one. You can also email Ginnie Daniel at accounting@pbpc.org. If you have not yet received a commitment card, we will also have them available in worship on Sunday.
I look forward to worshiping with you all on Sunday!
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Calvin

All Saint's Sunday - November 5
Traditionally, All Saint's Day is November 1, a day to remember and recognize individuals who played a role in our faith and who now rest in Christ's eternal embrace. These can be parents, relatives, theologians, or historical figures. On November 5, we will have a special service to honor and remember these saints. Please bring a picture, item or a story to share of someone who has shaped your Christian faith - these will be included in our time of worship.
