Thank you from our friends at J.H. House
This is a note we received from Leanne at J.H. House Elementary. Leanne is a school counselor at J.H. House, and she helps us coordinate all of the mission work we do for the school.
Hi PCR Friends!
I just wanted to tell you thank you again for lunch Monday! Our teachers are STILL talking about how wonderful and generous that was, and how appreciative they are for your kindness!
We're still munching on the candy you left us in the conference room!
Thanks so much for all you do!!!

Special Singing Sunday
On October 23 we will make a joyful noise! Our Worship Service will be in song and we need your input. What is your favorite hymn? Old favorite or a new favorite? If it’s not in our current hymnbook, we will do our best to find it. While singing in past hymn sings, I have found myself wondering about the connection of each hymn to those around me. With that in mind, for this year’s service, we invite you to include the significance of your selection. Feel free to share a favorite memory of singing this hymn; or an emotion this hymn leaves you with. Tell us your story! We will include your anecdotes, along with who picked each hymn, in our bulletin. If you prefer to remain anonymous, simply submit your hymn choice without your name.
There’s a sweet, sweet Spirit in this place as we lift our hearts and voices in song! The Lord doesn’t care if we can carry a tune or not, just as long as we’re singing for Him so come make a joyful noise with us on October 23.
