Hello families! I’m sure the Back to School season has been full of excitement for everyone in the house. I hope your days have been full of stories about meeting new friends, challenges of the next level of subjects your kids are studying, and further relationships students have worked so hard to create within school, the community and our church.
We are thrilled to be a part of your daily lives and have so many opportunities to invite you to call your own. Pinnacle Presbyterian is always looking for new, fun ways to engage busy families. A couple things you can begin to plan for this fall:
- Children’s Music Programming will take place every Sunday from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm beginning September 9.
- Join us at The Table on Sundays for lunch and fellowship with others in our congregation. Every Sunday at 11:00 am in the Fellowship Hall beginning September 9. Enjoy a healthy, hearty meal while building our community. Suggested donation $5 per person or $20 per family.
- Join us at The Table on Wednesdays for dinner and fellowship followed by children, youth and adult Bible Studies. We'd love for you to come and help prep our meal at 4:30 pm. Dinner will be served at 5:00 pm & Bible Studies will take place from 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm. Suggested donation $5 per person or $20 per family.
- Family & special events are always a great way to connect! Take a look at our calendar below and all the fun things we have coming up this fall.
We look forward to worshipping alongside you, learning more of how we can serve our community, and share Jesus’ love and grace. Blessings to you this month and we’ll see YOU at The Table!
xoxo
~Ms. Hillary

Favorite Children's Message From Last Month
|
|
|
We teach and lead because God has called us to do so. For thousands of years God has asked people to participate in the work of helping others come to know God and live as people of faith. You may not even realize that you responded to a call. You may think you merely answered a plea for help, or just knew it was your turn to help the third graders!

Blessings to you this month - let's pray:
Lord, we enjoy much of what September brings; a breeze in the evenings, our greenery growing into beautiful blooms, and the calm as we settle into a fall routine. Help us to keep you in the center of each of our days as we can find a storm in any normal day. You keep us level, and we lean on you through this month. We remember September 11th each year to remind us of our amazing country and how something so strong can be so fragile. We equip our world, ourselves and most importantly, our children with the knowledge of your love and peace you give endlessly. They must be reminded daily of your love and I will be sure to do so in our home, each day. In Jesus name, Amen.
