Youth Spaghetti Dinner

The annual spaghetti dinner went off without a hitch this year. Families turned up for a great meal and good service, all the servers were teen volunteers. The funds raised from the dinner and desert auction go towards the student’s cost for Student Life summer camp and the New York Missions Trip in July.

Pastor Dan briefs the volunteers before the rush.

For the event to run smoothly, a line of teens plated the food while a team of servers waited on their assigned tables.

The turnout was fantastic!

It was a lot of work, but they still had fun.

Here they are showing off all those tasty treats.

Irresistible!

PHCA - ACSI Music Festival

The many different categories in the competition included: vocal choirs, vocal duets and solos, full bands, various solos, duets and trio with instruments. At the end of the event, there was a mass choir performance from all the schools, singing "A Festive Alleluia".

YAM Book & DVD Drop at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital

On April 30th the Young Adult Ministry was able to deliver a host of books and DVDs to the Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital near the heart of downtown. In all, over 1200 items were collected! 

That's enough to fill up the back of an F150.

 The books quickly took over the reception area.

Thanks again to our team of volunteers!



Our Teens Spring into Service

It’s been exciting to see our teens Spring into Service during their vacation time. A number of our teens were helping meet the needs of our church and community through our Spring Service Projects.

Our first project was to prepare for summer outreach ministries.

We also volunteered and sorted clothes at Thrift Nation, which is a non-profit second hand store that uses all income to support missions, orphanages, etc.

Finally, we spent an afternoon at MedWish, which reclaims medical supplies and re purposes redistributes medical supplies and making them available to developing nations in need.
Praise God for teens who have a heart to love and serve their community!

"Wonder Full World" Women's Retreat

On April 8th and 9th a group of women from PHBC set off on a “trip around the world.” While others have traveled the world in 80 days, it took us just 2 days to step foot on every continent. Along the way we learned that God's world is truly full of wonders. He cares for each of us, no matter where we are. We are royalty, His princesses, and we truly matter to Him. When life gets hard, and the cold winds of Antarctica are blowing on us, He is always there and His Word and His actions show us over and over again that we can really rely on HIM. Making a difference is something everyone can do! We were blessed to be able to put together blankets to send to an orphanage during our stop in Africa.

When we finally arrived back in the States we walked away having grown closer to God, but also to the women who traveled with us. It was a “Wonder Full” time. Keep an eye on your calendars because you never know where God will lead us next year!
