Last year, due to your generosity, and the dynamic leadership of some PCCC members, our January Mission-of-the-Month began a movement that continues still. We were challenged to clean up Our Table (i.e. get things in better shape around the building), and the changes have been measurable and highly empowering. Look at the new rooms, furniture, lighting, and paint (Thanks again, Al!!!). Such work is never finished, of course, but the message our facilities now send is one of organized and welcoming hospitality. You taught me how important that was, so thank you.
This year, therefore, we hope to build on, even mimic, that success. One of PCCC’s greatest blessings is to provide safe and caring hospitality to families and neighbors every day, particularly by working with two primary partners- Yellow Brick Road Childcare and Thy Word
Worship Center. Besides worship, these partners are as central to our church mission as anything else we do. So this January, and beyond, our church leadership is asking us to celebrate
that fact.
Here’s a question I hope we’ll all strive to answer this month- “How can I show our partners how much their flourishing matters to me?” You’ll soon hear the different ways people answer that. You’ll be challenged to act on those ideas, and show our partners the love that Christ gives us. Indeed, in the spirit of our 2010 Theme, our January mission will be to build more authentic and empowering community with the partners we impact, and are impacted by, most often and directly. These, of course, aren’t our only partners. But they’re the closest and most active, and we praise God for that!
