This Lord's Day, we embark on two new series!
In the AM service, Pastor Grotenhuis begins a study of Christian discipleship. We'll learn its biblical basis, demands, and blessings. You'll also be challenged and equipped disciple others.
In the PM service, Pastor Spotts will examine the doctrines confessed at the Synod of Dort (1618-19). We'll discover their biblical truth and vital importance for Christian faith and mission. Can't make it out? Be sure to catch the series online.
Would you enjoy some manly fellowship in the great outdoors? Then mark your calendars, men, because we're going tent-camping on Jan 11-13! More info here.
A Fall membership course is being offered by Pastors Grotenhuis and Spotts for all those who are interested in becoming members at PURC. The course will be offered on two consecutive Saturday mornings:
November 25 and December 2 from 9-am-12 pm at the church.
Coffee and bagels will be provided.
Planning to attend? Please contact Pastor Grotenhuis:
pastorgrotenhuis@gmail.com.
The class is designed to give prospective members information about our church’s history, beliefs, and practices. We welcome questions and comments. Current members have expressed appreciation for the insight they gained during the course.
Note—there is no obligation or expectation for all those who attend to become members. The purpose is simply to help you explore the Faith and make an informed decision about where to worship and serve.
