Announcements

Next week we will be packing MCC School kits during the Fellowship time. Notebooks and pencils are treasures for families who struggle to access or afford school supplies. MCC school kits are often requested after disasters as they help bring a sense of normalcy to children whose families have been forced to flee their homes. Please join us in this valuable outreach ministry. To off-set the cost you may make a donation toward this project. Make checks payable to PRMC, in the memo line note for "MCC kits".


Wednesday, September 25th is See You at the Pole. See You at the Pole™ is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event. Come join our students in prayer at 7:15 am.


Next Sunday's message will be "The Music Machine" performed by the Eberly ladies and Barry Maust.


The Worship Ministry has a survey and would like ALL to participate. Please take the time to share your input and return to Denny Weidman's mailbox by next Sunday, September 29th.
