Can You Help?
Benevolence Ministry--We provide food for families after a death, if you would like to be a part of the ministry team that feeds families during their time of need please see Beth Jackson or call the office for more information.
Nursery Ministry--We have lost 2 of our volunteers that served in the nursery on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Ms. Dawn McKinney was a servant of the church volunteering on Wednesday evenings once per month in the nursery. Another volunteer had to step down due to work conflicts. Please pray and think about serving in the nursery. It would be once per month, if you are led please see Alma Estridge or Beth Jackson.
TeamKID Ministry--Our TeamKID clubbers get to visit the "TK Store" periodically after earning points. Some ways they earn points are by attending, bringing a friend, wearing the TK shirt, bringing their bible, etc. The "TK Store" is in great need of a restock. You can find some great games and prizes at the Dollar Tree and Dollar General stores in the clearance aisles. Toys and games will be needed for children ages 4-12 years of age. Monetary donations can also be made and earmarked "TeamKID Ministry".
Thank you all for your servants hearts!

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!
Wednesday Night Dinner
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.
Food Pantry
A very special thank you to all who gave to the Reverse Advent Calendar food box. We were able to bless several families with meals for Thanksgiving plus some!! What a very rewarding feeling to know that you contributed to blessing families that would have gone without or struggled to find a way to provide for their loved ones. Once again, THANK YOU!
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 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.
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.
