ImpACT!

It's time!  We are so excited about this week's upcoming ImpACT project!

We'll be going out in two waves this Sunday (October 19) - one after the 9:30 service ends, and then again after the 11:00 service.  There will be directions, liability release forms and more information in the hallway after each service.  You must have a signed release form on file to work; if you signed one on October 12, you're good to go.

All of our projects are in the Bell Road/Powhatan Lakes area.  There will be Porta Potties and dumpsters set in place; although we encourage you to bring a lunch to eat before you start, the Grubworm Team will be set up at five different locations to provide hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and drinks.

We have some specific needs for equipment this time, especially for pressure washers.  It would also be helpful if you could bring these items:
  • extension ladders
  • hammers
  • lawn rakes
  • garden rakes
  • shovels
  • lawnmowers 
  • weed eaters
  • safety glasses
  • gloves
Everyone needs to wear appropriate work clothes and closed toe shoes.

This is a wonderful opportunity to step outside of ourselves, to put our faith into action and to make a tremendous and tangible difference in the lives of people in our community.  We encourage you to show up for worship and then go out to serve.

Any questions?  Feel free to call the PCC office at 598.1174.

See you Sunday!

BY THE WAY:  PowerJam kids will have a chance to make a difference today as well! They are packing shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. These boxes bring joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world and each contains a booklet explaining the good news of God’s love. During the morning services the kids will make cards, wrap boxes, then fill them with all kinds of treats. Please remember to being the supplies that morning. Also each box must have the $7 shipping costs included. If this is a financial burden, friends and siblings are encouraged to pack a box together or help make cards. We will have shipping envelopes and wrapping supplies there for everyone.
