Calling all ladies!! Come join the Women at the Well as we learn to grow spiritually during our quiet times and the dark we sometimes experience. We will grow as we drink deeply from the Well of the Living Water (John 4:14). Your quiet time may be limited to a drive to work or a walk with your pet. Your dark be a time of physical, emotional or spiritual suffering. Please join us as we discover ways to grow spiritually.

To TK Parents who attended our parent meeting:

Thank you so much for coming and adding input into how to improve our TeamKID club. Your input was so encouraging, please stay connected!! 

We have been searching for volunteers for our nursery for quite some time, the biggest hold back for people is that they didn’t want to miss the service…...well, we have installed a tv in the nursery to allow the servers to hear the message and/or play music for the children! We are currently working on getting the Wednesday night prayer meeting broadcasted as well. With that being said, we need workers for not only Sunday school and morning worship but for Wednesday nights as well. Just remember the more people that volunteer the less time you will need to serve! If you are not comfortable with smaller children then you can serve on Sunday mornings in Children's Church with the older children, teaching them the word of God.  Please contact the office, Beth McNees or Diane Lethbridge if you are called and willing to serve! Thank 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.
