SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE at 9:15am in the main sanctuary. If you didn't catch church on Saturday night, there's a service at 9:15, just before our class.
EQUIP CLASS at 11am in the PCA upper school building. We recently started a 40 week study over the book for Romans. We've covered Romans 1 – 3:26 so far. If you want to read ahead, our teacher Matt Kendrick will be taking us through more of Romans 3 & 4 this Sunday.

THANKSGIVING PARTY We’re thankful for you! And we’re having a party. Come over to Erin’s on Monday, Nov 14 at 7pm. As mentioned in the Evite, all you need to bring is a favorite side dish, dessert, drink, etc. Or if you don't feel like cooking, you're welcome to bring just $3 to help cover the cost of the turkey, which will be provided. RSVP on the EVITE as soon as possible so we'll know how big of a bird we need, and let us know in your response what you'll be bringing. The doors will open at 6:45, and we're hoping to eat at about 7:00, so please make sure the dish you bring is cooked and ready to go, no on-site preparation needed. :) Email Linda if you didn’t get the Evite (l.sp...@sbcglobal.net). Also, we're collecting goods for Operation Christmas Child - see Evite for the details.
