Worship with Us this Sunday | |
|
August 7, 2022 | 10:00am In-person and Facebook Live...and later on Facebook
If you will be with us in person, please note that our Covid Team has made an adjustment in our Covid protocols. St Louis City and St Louis County continue to document a steady rise in COVID-19 cases in our community. We are also experiencing this with church members and friends. Therefore, PUCC is moving from "masks recommended" to "masks strongly advised" until further notice.
Join us in person or on Facebook Live at 10am.
Our scriptures are Isaiah 1:1, 16-19 where we are reminded of what it looks like to live a faithful life and Luke 12:32-40 where Jesus tells the disciples how to be prepared and poised for service. We will celebrate the sacrament of communion at our ‘open table’ – ALL are invited.
The First Sunday Choir – open to anyone/everyone gathers at 9am to learn a simple piece to share in worship.
It’s also Give-A-Meal Sunday. Please consider bringing gifts of non-perishable food items, personal care items or household consumables…
Circle of Concern current needs include: baking items, snacks, jelly, pasta sauce, dinner ‘helpers’, dish soap, laundry soap, body wash (including kids, not baby), pull-ups (3T-4T, 4T-5T), women’s incontinence briefs (XL), sanitary napkins (size 4 and 5)

Ponder
Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.

Grizzlies Baseball Game
Sunday, August 21 | Gametime is 5:45pm
Take me out to the ballgame! Cheer on our Gateway Grizzlies with a dozen or more PUCCers as they face the Windy City ThunderBolts!
The Gateway Grizzlies are a professional baseball team based in the St. Louis suburb of Sauget, Illinois, in the United States. The Grizzlies are a member of the West Division of the Frontier League, which is a partner league of Major League Baseball.
This is a much more manageable excursion than going to a Cardinals game... so if you enjoy baseball and/or want an 'easier' adventure, this is the opportunity for you.
Please reserve your ticket(s) by contacting PUCCer Blake Lyons via phone/text 314-681-0620.
Tickets are $16 each. Please make checks to PUCC with Grizzlies in memo.
We can also work out carpooling a few days ahead.
