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.
