According to recent news from Google, 2PC is one of the most popular local businesses on Google—in fact we are in the top 1% in our surrounding area! To go even further we are in the top 1% of more than 250,000 businesses in the surrounding area.
This is great news and shows our website has grown tremendously in the last year. Very special thanks to Karen Stevenson, Arcadia Kust, Josh Erickson, Dean Kladder and Brian Hiles for all their hard work to make the 2PC website so special!
In keeping up with our 2PC theme for the year, Learn the Word. Love the World., Dr. Roane Deckert has agreed to teach an extraordinary two-year Bethel Bible Series beginning September 2010.
What is the Bethel series? It is a series of 20 Old Testament studies and 20 New Testament studies. This includes two hours of class room time per study, and an image for each study to help visualize Biblical concepts. This is a college level course designed to give the serious student an overview of the entire Biblical narrative. This is NOT an in-depth study of any single Biblical book or set of books. More information coming soon! Questions? Contact Sue Taulbee or Barby Pratt-Mecherle, small group co-coordinators, at 828.6297.
Serving on Saturdays (SOS) returns on June 12! The day will begin with a light breakfast at 8:30am, and a brief devotional at 2PC. After that, we'll go to various sites around the community to serve including the following locations and others: Recycling for Families, Western Avenue Community Center, the Habitat ReStore, the Home Sweet Home warehouse and the Pregnancy Resource Center. There will be a lunch for SOS participants at 2PC at 12pm.
More than 60 people participated in this great event when it was last offered in January 2010, and you can sign up today near Connection Point/Welcome Center or by calling Kim at 828.6297. Attention small group leaders: this would be a great way for your group to serve together. Questions: contact Carol White at 662.4862 or carolwhite77@gmail.com.
Last Sunday was a great day of celebration as the Let Your Light Shine capital campaign culminated with Pledge Sunday. The goals of the campaign are to reach at least 395 pledging units and $3.43 million. Reaching these goals will mean that we will be able to fully retire the debt incurred with the construction of the new sanctuary. So far we have received 331 pledges, and are in the process of confirming them so that we can announce with accuracy the amount of money pledged to-date on Sunday 6/6/10.
Candlelight Service of Rededication and Thanksgiving (Tonight at 7pm): During this service, we will give thanks for the countless blessings the Lord has given us at 2PC. The service will also focus on rededicating ourselves to the continuation of God's work in this community and in the world. The service will have a reverent tone and will end with the transferring of “The Light” to Marquis Chapel for the next 24 hours of the prayer vigil. Childcare will be provided.
