2011 New Year's Eve Bulletin
On New Year’s Eve at 7:00 PM, Pleasant Hills Community Presbyterian Church will be having an informal Communion service. All are invited to prepare for the New Year!
If one of your New Year resolutions is to read the Bible, the Bible Gateway web site has several options for you:
The variety of Bible reading plans is amazing. They can even be emailed to you each day.
Bible Gateway is a wonderful resource. There are 30 versions of the English Bible on Bible Gateway for comparison reading. Other languages are also available should you need them.
One other trick: If you can’t remember where a verse is in the Bible, type what you can remember into Google. Almost always, one of the first couple links that come up will be the verse you are looking for!
The Annual Congregation Meeting will be taking place on Sunday, January 29, 2012. There will be one worship service that morning at 10:00 AM in the Great Room followed by the Annual Meeting at approximately 11:00 AM (also in the Great Room). The meeting will include the election of elders, deacons and trustees; the election of members to the Congregational Nominating Committee; and members to the Pastor Nominating Committee.
We are commissioning Deac Dressing Sunday, January 1. Deac will join a team of people who are headed for an overseas mission experience. He leaves Friday, January 6. The group is going out under the leadership of World Mission Initiative which is headquartered at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. The head of WMI is Rev. Don Dawson. They return January 17. Please be in prayer for the group while they are gone. WMI is sponsoring mission trips this year to Vietnam, Nepal, Guatemala, Israel/Palestine and Trinidad/Tobago.
With our increase in attendance this year CrossOver is in need of additional adult leaders to help out–particularly dads! The moms have stepped up. This year we have been blessed with 7 new moms that are helping out on Wednesday nights.
There are many areas in which you can help out: serving food, assisting in leading small groups or just plain being a presence during the evening and filling in where needed. We would love to talk to you about the many possibilities where you can impact student’s lives for Christ. Please contact Tim Comer or Kevin Vinay if you are up for this challenge.
The Thursday Bethel Bible Series Class resumes this coming Thursday, January 5. The Sunday Bethel Bible Series Class resumes next Sunday, January 8. Both classes welcome new members! If you’re interested in improving your knowledge of the Bible, come to one of these classes!
For seven weeks, beginning January 15, the Adult Discipleship Ministry Team will present series that will answer questions bout who the Holy Spirit is and what the relationship between the Holy Spirit and Christians is. The class will run Sundays at 9:30 AM in the Parlor.
