TODD'S TAKE
Good morning and welcome to our worship.

Summer is upon us!  We had a great kickoff last Wednesday with Church on the Lake. The weather was fantastic and the fellowship was sweet. And that's not even mentioning the good food we enjoyed.  Thanks to the church staff for putting all that together. In addition to our ministerial staff we are blessed to have Sue Lain, Joan, Mark, and Mike. They do so many things behind the scenes that help us pull off all the things going on here at PACOC.

Let me encourage you to make Wednesday nights at the church a summer staple as we gather together to watch The Chosen. Spending time considering the great life and teachings of Christ will always come back to bless us. I saw a sign at a local church recently that says, “Jesus is God’s selfie.”  As the Hebrews writer says, Jesus is, “the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.” We know God better by seeing Him in Jesus.  We will have some chairs set out, but if you want to bring your fancy-dancy chair you are welcome to do that. We will also be serving refreshments.

Thanks again for your generosity in our Debt Reduction Contribution last Sunday.  Every extra dollar applied to the principal saves us money in interest and brings us closer to being free from that debt. At this pace we will have the Ark paid off in less than three years—12 years faster than the original loan!

Today we will continue our journey through I John. This morning we will be in 1 John 3:11-24.
 
It’s so good to be together to worship. Glad to see all our church family and a warm welcome to our guests.
