A word of encouragement

A word of encouragement

At one of our recent Monday morning prayer meeting the following extract from Prision Fellowships, Prayer and Praise points, was shared:

Chaplin at a Correctional Centre in NSW, shared how God has been stirring in the lives of some of the inmates in the Maximum Security section of the prison.  A few started gathering to read the Bible together and to pray in the open, out in the yard.  What began as a group of 2-3 men has now grown to a group of 20-30 men gathering daily outside in the prison yard.  Several men have become followers of Jesus while others who had lapsed reconneted with Jesus.  Many are joining the group as curious seekers.  This has resulted in an increased demand for bibles as the new Christians are hungry for the word.  People have noticed a changed in the atmosphere in the prison and a reduction in the number of incidents in the prison.  The Holy Spirit has stirred the hearts of these men to gather, pray, read and support each other.

If God can work like this at a prision, he can do it anywhere, even at here at PCCBC!

Getting Excited for Vision

Getting Excited for Vision

feedback from workshop

At the end of our recent 'Getting Excited' series we held a workshop, where we were provided with some valuable feedback, our vision consultant group anaylised the feedback, as a result we are looking for some people for the following, if this is you please have a chat with Rev David.

We are looking for some passionate people who may be interested in leading or hosting Bible study groups, in particular a mens, youth and  mixed gender. 

We are also looking for someone who is passionate about making people feel welcome, we are looking for someone to oversea the welcome and morning tea teams.  

In addition, if anyone who would like to serve in any area of our Church we would love to hear from you too.
