It will be our largest group of seniors to date, with 19 graduating. |

The question may go like this: “Hasn’t the Church done so much harm?” That question is the focus of this weekend’s message in our series “Corner Conversations.” I hope you’ll join us! |

May 16, 2013-Pastor Wally’s Dangling Conversation16. May, 2013A Dangling ConversationComments OffAnother Delightful Semester! As the lead pastor at Pearce, I enjoy many privileges. I get to stop in the church kitchen each morning to enjoy a cup of coffee with Jim Heeks, I receive an impressive number of hugs from children on Sunday mornings, and I have the opportunity to teach a course at Northeastern Seminary. The course is Pastoral Formation and its focus is on the role of the pastor as shepherd. This past Monday evening was the final class of the semester and I took the opportunity to take a photo of the group. They look like a great group, don’t they? I assure you, they are! |

Through baptism, individuals publicly declare their commitment to follow Jesus the rest of their life. I never cease to be thrilled when I hear someone’s testimony and then witness their baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! |

Kathy’s Scribbles – May 20139. May, 2013Featured, Kathy's ScribblesComments OffMay 9, 2013Some exciting events are coming soon in the life of the children’s ministry at Pearce. One event is our Youth Membership/Baptism Sunday. I just finished interviews with the 5th and 6th graders who are joining the church in youth membership and/or being baptized. It is such an honor to hear stories of their love for God, what they are learning and how they have come to know Jesus in a personal way. Below are some of the words they have expressed to me of their walk with Jesus in preparation for May 12, 2013. |

May 2, 2013-Pastor Wally’s Dangling Conversation2. May, 2013A Dangling ConversationComments OffMission Garage Sale ReportI’ve heard many comments the past few days about this year’s Annual Mission Garage Sale. The sale, which was held last Friday and Saturday, may go down in the record books of this event’s annals. Several veterans surmised that there was more “stuff” for sale this year than previous years. Also, as I heard from no less an authority than Jim Heeks, there was a “better quality” of items than recent years. |
