10.15.2024 PBPC Family Bulletin
PBPC Family,
On Sunday, I shared a new (informal) policy I'd like us to follow at PBPC.
If there is something that happens during the service that moves you or helps you enter more deeply into worship, please voice that, especially if it was done by another member. If someone is the liturgist in the service and their prayer moved you, please thank them. If someone sings a beautiful song, thank them for sharing their gift with the congregation. Let them know God used them in your life.
On the other hand, if you notice a mistake in the bulletin or the slides, if you have an issue with a song choice, if something makes you mad or frustrated, please talk to me and me alone. As pastor of this congregation, you have called and ordained me to oversee our weekly worship. It is my responsibility to plan and lead our Sunday services.
If you're not sure whether to say something to me, wait 24 hours. If you forget, it probably wasn't worth saying! And if, after 24 hours, you would still like to talk with me, please first call me to talk on the phone or to set up a time to talk in person. I'd prefer to first personally speak with anyone before addressing things via email.
Going forward, when mistakes do happen in our service, let them be an invitation to you to foster a longing and desire for our heavenly worship, which will be free from mistakes and errors!
Looking forward to worshipping with you all on Sunday!
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Calvin
