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.

This October will be the 40th anniversary of the founding of our church, we will be having a 10/40 celebration…..10 years of Pastor Jeff being here and 40 years of the church. If you have any pictures, directories, videos, memorabilia or know someone who does please submit this to the church office marked with your name. We are beginning to put together slide shows, picture boards and many other things for our celebration….these items will be returned to you!! For any further information please call the church office. Thank you all so much!!

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. There are currently only 3 ladies serving with one only recently joining. The 2 previous women have had to miss half of the Sunday morning services to teach these children! Please contact the office, Beth McNees or Diane Lethbridge if you are called and willing to serve! Thank you!!

We have our new sign installed and it looks great!! We have currently raised $11,701.00 of the $21,000 we owe for the sign. What an outpouring of support that you all have shown with your offerings and donations!! This sign is an excellent way for us to advertise special events and invite people from our community into church. Please remember if you wish to give to the sign earmark your check or envelope "church sign" so that the funds may be designated to the proper account. Thank you all again!!

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.
