TREE OF THANKS
Have you added your leaf?
|
We invite you to take a moment to stop by the PGBC library and take a peek at the Thankful Tree on the door. Everyone is invited to get a leaf, write on it the things you are thankful for, then attach it to the tree using the tape provided. Even if you don’t write on a leaf, stop by to see what others have shared.

STANDING RESERVATION LIST
Are you a Meal-n-Missions regular?
|
We have good news! Since we have so many faithful folks who participate in the 1st Wednesday Meal & Missions, we have decided to make signing-up easier for you by creating a standing reservation list.
|
|
HOW IT WORKS: You may sign-up to have your name put on the standing reservation list for meal-n-missions. Each month (Sept-May) you'll automatically be included in the dinner attendee list & will be responsible for payment of your meal as usual.
IF YOU WILL BE ABSENT, then you must contact the church office by Noon that Tuesday to have your named removed from the list. Otherwise, you will be responsible for meal payment. As long as you cancel your reservation in advance then you ill not be charged for the meal.
We hope this will be a nice convenience for you.
|
|
NOT A REGULAR ATTENDER?
No problem, simply continue to sign-up each month as usual by calling the church office (919.552.3522) or emailing
info@pineygrovebc.org.

FALL FEST-
A Glowing Success!
We are amazed at the out pouring of servanthood Piney Grove displayed before, during, and after the fall festival! What wonderful things we accomplish when we work together as the body of Christ! In a matter of hours we were able to improvise and reach hundreds of people in our community to show them the love of Christ. Everyone came together to make the impossible happen, and this speaks volumes about Piney Grove.
We give thanks to those who were working tirelessly in the kitchen and on the grill to make sure all were fed, popping popcorn, keeping us safe, assisting with parking, buying and donating even more pounds of candy when they felt like they had already bought plenty, singing songs and playing music, decorating throughout the church and taking it to the next level, passing out candy, helping with registration, guiding folks, painting faces, tying fairy hair, leading cake walks, carving and displaying pumpkins, hanging signs, assisting with marketing and social media, developing volunteer t-shirts, cleaning up the church in record time before a storm was about to hit, and even those who couldn’t make the festival but worked ahead of time to make sure they could contribute to the success of the festival.
Piney Grove, you may not have dunked anyone in the dunk tank, but you did do a slam dunk with the Neon Fall Festival rain plan! From the bottom of our hearts, we love you and we thank you!
~ Nicole Currin and Michelle Frye
A few final numbers for you:
ATTENDANCE: 717 people came through registration. (actual count was much higher because we had guests who skipped registration or volunteers who may not have registered online.)
CANDY: We collected 1,400 lbs of candy BUT we are fairly certain we exceeded our goal of 1,566 because there were lots of "secret stashes" that folks had hidden for backup.
GOD MOMENTS: Too many to count! Piney Grove, thank you for passionately serving and loving our neighbors and community! So many lives were touched by your kindness last night. That impact will not be forgotten.
Giving God the Glory and Praise!

I would like to thank my Piney Grove church family for the prayers, cards, and words of sympathy that were shared during the loss of my husband. Although he will be deeply missed, we are comforted by the fact that his name was written in the Lamb's Book of Life and we will see him again!
