Updated Announcements
We have 3 different children and youth ministries with our church.....TeamKID, Fearless and the Good News Club. At each group meeting we encourage the young people to memorize scriptures, bring their bible, bring a friend and we also play games such as Bible sword drills, putting the Old & New Testament books in order, among many others. We like to reward them with small prizes such as candy or small $1 toys. We also have a bigger reward system for those who study hard to memorize scriptures and learn the books of the Bible. We are asking that toy/candy prizes be donated. Donations could be anything for $1 bag of candy or a pack of stickers to a $5 game or toy that will be use for the larger earned rewards. If you don't like to shop but would like to help you can donate money earmarked for children/youth. Thank you all so much for all your serving to our many ministries! You all are appreciated!!
Placid Lakes Baptist Church,
Thank you for the delicious lunch you provided for us at the beginning of the year. It was so thoughtful.
It was so kind of the ladies group "Women at the Well" to provide treats for us in our mailbox.
Love,

From the Pastor
Brothers & Sisters,
For many followers of Christ there is a tension between being busy and being still. In our world we want to be productive in our work for God. After all, a Christian wants to hear God say "Well done thou good and faithful servant." Sometimes we can even feel guilty that we aren't doing anything. Being busy in our society is a sign of significance and importance. The problem with this mindset is that it is up to our efforts rather than God's power. We often equate activity for productivity. The old saying is true that "a washing machine is busy but it doesn't go anywhere." Don't be mistaken that working is a bad thing. We should be diligent in our work. Paul said 1 Corinthians 15:10 that he "worked harder than any of them." What is important is not what you can do for God, it's what God can do through you. He must work in you. Are you busy? Perhaps you need to be still before God and let Him work in you.
In Christian Love,
Pastor Jeff
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 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.
