Dear church members and regular attenders:

 

Due to the high demand of clients visiting our food pantry and the limited amount of food we are receiving; we need to limit the number of visits from  our clients. Please call the office and set up a day and time to pick up food.  We will also begin prepacking food for you. There are certain items set aside for events that we will have at the church and for our Wednesday evening meals, these items have been taken due to people not knowing what is set aside for a purpose. This will also make it fair for everyone who comes for food. You will be given the quantity of food per member of your household. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but we thank you for allowing us to help you in your time of need. We strive to meet the needs of many, and this will allow for all to be helped.  Thank you for your understanding.

From the Pastor

Brothers and sisters,

One of the greatest joys of serving Jesus is the privilege we have of giving. Many people have a cynical view of giving, especially when it comes to the church. The common misconception that many have is that the church is always asking for money. The previous statement is not true for several reasons.

     1. No church is always asking for money.

     2. Giving for a Christian isn't a burden it is a blessing.

     3. Giving is a natural character trait for a Christian.

Our church provides many opportunities to give to the Lord.

     * We encourage all our church members to give of their time, talent, and treasure.

     *We provide opportunities to give of your finances at every worship service during the portion of the worship service that is                 called the offering.

     *We also provide opportunities to give of your talents through opportunities to serve the Lord here in the church.

     *There are also special times where we seek to meet special needs that arise through special offerings.

There are several ways you can give:

     *the traditional methods of giving cash or checks in the offering plate

     *online through the giving section of our website

     *through the bill paying action of your bank

God desires that we give generously, and remember that we cannot out give God!

In Christian Love,

Pastor Jeff Taylor

Food Pantry

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.
