The Women at the Well group invites all church ladies to join us on Sunday afternoon, February 5th at 4:00 p.m. for an opportunity of serving others. Ladies will be creating simple cards, writing personal messages and addressing envelopes for those on our personal and on the church prayer lists. Please join us for this hour of serving others!

The next Ladies Day Out will be on Saturday, February 25th. We will be going to Hendry County for the annual swamp cabbage festival. Put on your walking shoes and meet us at the church at 11:00 a.m. for a day of fun, food and fellowship!! 

There is a sign-up sheet in the vestibule, if you have any other questions please see Rebecca Taylor for more information.

We are in search of some helpers in our kitchen. We serve dinner every Wednesday evening for the congregation, this takes a lot of work and preparation. There are also special dinners, breakfasts or other meals that are served at differing times. Some of the people that have been serving in our kitchen are unable to do so any longer so we are asking that some of you will be called to help serve in this ministry. Please be in prayer about this and if you feel led to serve then please contact the office or Beth McNees. Thank you!!

**Correction! Thursday, February 9th will be the first game night!**

Thursday, February 2nd will begin our church-wide game nights again. We'll begin at 4:00 p.m. and these game nights will be every other Thursday. Remember to bring a few dollars with you to order dinner. We look forward to gaming with you!! 

The men meet every Thursday morning at 7:00 a.m. at the GC Grill House (formerly Golden Corrall) here in Lake Placid. Men, please come join in on a great time of fellowship and bring a friend or neighbor along as well!! 

In today’s society many people do not carry cash or use checks to pay their bills, we are in the technological age with many people paying bills, buying items and transacting daily business online. We also have the capability for you to pay your tithes and offerings online as well! All you need to do is visit our website at www.placidlakesbc.com and click on the giving hand in the top right hand corner of the screen. It will then prompt you to enter the amount you’d like to give and the frequency of that giving, you will then proceed to paypal to make the payment. If you have any questions or need any help please contact the office during business hours and we will assist you. Thank you for your giving and support of our church! We love you all

The church would like to start implementing a prayer card ministry. If there is someone on our prayer list that you feel would like to receive a card letting them know that their prayer needs are being prayed for by our congregation then please submit their name and address via (1) the church email (2) you can call the office during business hours to relay the information to Beth Jackson and/or (3) you may submit a person’s information through the offering plate on Sunday mornings—just fill out a How Can We Help You slip located in the back of the pews, note that it is for the Prayer Card Ministry and place it in the offering plate as it is passed.

Come join us on Wednesday evenings at 5:15 p.m. for a good meal of food and fellowship! 

**Please note that the doors will not open until 5:15, this is too prevent any unsupervised children in the building until the leaders arrive. 

We have a food pantry located here at PLBC, we are partnered with Feeding Tampa Bay and Heartland Food Bank to provide for the needs of the hungry here in our community. The food pantry is open Tuesday & Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.; anyone that is experiencing a need or unexpected emergency may come to the food pantry during these hours. We are blessed to be able to help people in need and our goal is to assist them during their time of need and see them progress in the future without our assistance. If you or anyone you know is need of assistance please send them to the food pantry or contact the church office at 863-465-5126 for more information.
