Bring your bathing suit, a t-shirt, and a towel this Sunday.

We’ll be serving our church by washing cars during both Sunday services.

All donations we receive will go right back to our ministry to lower event costs for students.

So be prepared to get wet and have some fun as we serve together!

This Tuesday, June 24th, we’re having our Summer kickoff for Breakaway.

We’ll be at Talega Park from 6-8 PM.  Come hungry, as we’ll be eating a little dinner (free), playing some games, hanging out, and having an awesome time.

Click here for directions to the park (from PCC).

Hope to see you there!

“Reaching Today’s Teens: Building Strong Parent-Teen Relationships”

Attention all parents:

On Saturday, July 12th, PCC’s Student Ministries will be hosting a seminar for parents of teenagers.  Sean and Josh McDowell will be teaching the seminar, which will last from 6:30-9:30 PM at PCC.

This is the perfect opportunity to hear from internationally known and trusted authors and speakers (as well as father-son duo) teach on a subject that is relevant to all parents.

As we are constantly looking for ways to help our families connect on a deeper level, we encourage all parents to attend!  The seminar is completely free, and yes…dessert and coffee will be served.

Where:  Meet at PCC at 11:00am… we’ll return to PCC after the game around 4:00pm-ish.

Why:  To have fun together, eat, watch the Angels play Oakland, invite friends, yell and scream, have fun, eat lots of food… you get the idea!

Just a quick post…

I wanted to say a special “hi” to all the new 6th graders that just moved up this past weekend.  It was great having you all with us and I’m excited to see what God’s got in store for us all.  If you ever have any questions or if you just want to talk, feel free to e-mail me or give me a call (940-2600).

Also, be sure to check out the new poll we added to the right side of the page!  What are you looking forward to this summer?

I just spent some time reading the Bible in the book of Galatians. I really enjoy reading this book because Paul (the author) has to respond to some pretty big issues that have been brought up.

There was a group of people (called the Judaizers) who said that all Christians must follow the law of the Old Testament to be made right with God. Paul reacts to that idea and the actions of Peter in these verses:

“And yet we Jewish Christians know that we become right with God, not by doing what the law commands, but by faith in Jesus Christ.

So we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might by accepted by God because of our faith in Christ-and not because we have obeyed the law.

For no one will ever be saved by obeying the law. (Gal. 2.16 – NLT)”

This is such an awesome section of the letter.  Among other things, it highlights the fact that salvation comes through faith in Jesus (not by being “good enough”).

Sometimes we hear certain words all the time and we begin to forget what they really mean… this can happen with the meaning of a word like “faith”.

I just read a commentary and the author described faith like this:

Faith is trust.  It begins with knowledge, so it is not blind.  It builds on facts, so it is not speculation.  It stakes its life on the outcome, so it is not impractical.  Faith is trusting Christ and proving his promises (Barker, K.L.).

As we continue to grow in our understanding of God and try to live more and more like Jesus, our faith should be showing others the greatness of God.
