Thank you
Thank you so much for participating in the  Baby Bottle Campaign. We truly appreciate you. Approximately $70,000 was raised through the campaign with nearly $7,000 raised through Park Avenue. Your generosity allows us to continue to offer our clients hope and help so that they can choose life. Thank you in your partnership in the fight for life.
Sincerely, The True Options Board of Directors

PAWS Volunteers
Our Park Avenue Wednesday Suppers will start back on September 6.  We are in need of team leaders and volunteers to set up, clean up, and prepare food. You can volunteer on the app, on the website, or contact Shelly Calvert directly at (972) 989-7025.  
 
Youth Ministry

  • Wednesday Nights Through August 30th: Park Avenue youth will meet with the whole church!

  • Today August 6th: Park Avenue youth will meet at the Cope’s house (2926 Village Circle) from 4:45-5:45 and then carpool to Denison’s back to school prayer night!

  • October 14th & 15th Mark your calendar for our annual Fall Retreat! More Fall plans to come!

TWO Back to School Prayer Events
Community Back to School Prayer Event
There will be a Back to School Community Prayer Today at 6:00 PM at Heritage Park in downtown Denison for a time of worship  and community prayer for our schools.  We will then disperse at 6:30 to the DISD campuses to offer specific prayer for that school. Make plans to join us as we lift up the schools in Denison.
 
PACOC Back to School Prayer Event
In addition to our community prayer event we will have our own annual Back to School Prayer on Wednesday, August 9th!  We will gather in the ARK at 6:30 PM to spend time in prayer and write letters of encouragement for our students, teachers, support staff and administrators who are beginning their school year throughout Texoma.  Make plans to join us.

Coming Up
Fall is creeping up on us and hopefully cooler temps. I can’t guarantee that any time soon, but what I can say is that plans are being made to resume our full slate of community options in September. Starting Wednesday, September 6 all our classes and our Park Avenue Wednesday Supper (PAWS) will be back. Speaking of PAWS—If you are looking for a way to serve our church family, we are in need of teams to cook and serve our PAWS meals. With enough servants, that would mean serving at one PAWS a month. Give it a thought and if you want to help out call the church office or go to pacoc.net/PAWS. We also need teams to cover the occasional 5th Wednesday.

Until September 6, here is what is in store for Wednesday Nights in August:

  • August 9—PACOC Back to School Prayer

  • August 16, 23—Praise Nights in the Worship Center

  • August 30—Minister’s Cookoff
