Forward Together Agenda

  • Wayne Alexander
  • Jul 16, 2008

On Thursday 17th July at 7.45 for refreshments and an 8pm start, the important bi-monthly meeting for all leaders in PBC, including Elders, Staff Team, Small Group Leaders, Team Leaders and other group leaders. There will be the usual opportunity to hear latest news, for prayer and discussing the progress of our vision, but we will be particularly focusing on drawing up together some 'principles of serving', to help PBC develop a strategy for serving.

As we grow as a church in activity and complexity, its important that we can have simple 'principles of serving' to help as guidelines. These will eventually form the foundation in our culture of serving at PBC in the years to come. Some questions to get you thinking:

  • How can we carefully 'pace' ourselves as a church to protect people from drifting into doing too much, neglecting their families, burnout and so on?
  • What should be expected from members?
  • How does inviting people to serve achieve our purpose to know Jesus more?
  • What are the joys and opportunities of serving in PBC?
  • What are potential risks and challenges of serving at PBC?
  • What should those who serve expect from the Pastors, Elders, Team Leaders and so on?
  • How does serving and attendance at a Small Group relate?

Easter Sunday - Baptisms and The Miracle Maker

2nd April, 2012

Easter week at PBC has some thought provoking and interesting opportunities for worship and glorifying our living God. There's Good Friday service at 10am, followed by the Walk of Witness at 11am to the Village Green for the HOPE Pembury Churches Together annual service on the green. Hot cross buns and refreshments will be served at the Hanes' home after the service finishes. And on Easter Sunday, there's three baptisms taking place in the morning at 10am followed by a family opportunity at 5pm to enjoy a cinematic experience with popcorn, icecream and fizzy pop whilst watching The Miracle Maker.
