Prayer Needs

Welcome to our services this morning. So glad you are here.

As we gather, take a moment to greet those around you. I’ve had a couple of experiences recently that re-minded me of how we really get to know those we sit by week after week and how that routine can be lever-aged for good. I’ve even heard the term “pew minister” in reference to individuals who were officially assigned to take notice of who is present and who isn’t. I say let’s all be “pew minsters” and welcome one another as fellow disciples.

I was honored this week to participate in a check presentation from BAG Corp, the company Bruce Hol-ley worked for before he passed away. They have chosen the Bar-nabas Center as their charity and presented their donation this past Thursday. Such good work being done and what a blessing for others to work to-gether with us in God’s kingdom.

Todd’s Take

Please notify the church office at office@parkavenuechurch.com for

Nativity in Auditorium Please do not let your children play with the props.

We had a great Men's Conference last weekend. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to pull it all together. We had over 130 men participate and all were blessed and challenged by our two excellent speakers. The food, the fellowship, and the teaching were all incredible. Looking forward to next year’s event.

Mitch Wilburn used Boaz and Joseph of Arimathea as

examples for us as we aspire to be godly men.

Basil led us in praise as well. Our speakers, Mitch Wilburn and Kyle Dendy

Kyle Dendy urged us to find our purpose and

overcome fear.
