PBC ANNOUNCEMENTS Friday, September 25, 2026

We have many important announcements today.  Please carve out some time to read to the bottom.  Thanks, Church Family.  You are a blessing!! 

WE REJOICE WITH ALL THOSE WHO WERE BAPTISED 
We rejoice and give God thanks for the many who were baptized last Sunday and for the wonderful testimonies that were shared.  God bless you, Samantha Downs, Debbie Fraser, Mark Fraser, Julie Gannon, Brady Jenkins, and Camden Pope.

NEW MEMBER WELCOME
We are thrilled that God continues to bring new people into the fellowship of Providence Bible Church. Mark and Debbie Fraser are the most recent to apply for membership.  They have completed all of the requirements for membership and have been interviewed by the elders.  We look forward to welcoming them as members.  This is being presented in accordance with the requirements of our constitution, which calls for such notice to be given at least three weeks prior to an official welcome into membership.  

PLEASE NOTE LOCATION CORRECTION !! WORSHIP & PRAYER NIGHT
This Sunday, September 27th, Jesse and Sharon Hunt will open their home for a worship and prayer night at 6:00 PM. This is an opportunity for anyone from our church family who is interested to join together and seek God in prayer for the harvest that is plentiful.   

LOOKING FOR WAYS TO EXPERIENCE MORE MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS?
There is a special blessing that comes when we step out of our comfort zones to serve others in the body of Christ. As we minister alongside our brothers and sisters, relationships deepen and friendships are formed.

Prayerfully consider the following opportunities available now:

Christy Solarczyk ( christy.solarczyk@providencebible.org ) is asking for a few volunteers who would be willing to service in Children’s Church one Sunday per month.

Pastor Jarred ( jarred.edgecombe@providencebible.org ) is asking for someone to volunteer to clean and fill the baptismal on the Friday morning before a Sunday baptism occurs.

Lauchlin Lee would really like to find a few more church members who would be willing to serve on the counting (the offering) rotation.  This would be an easy commitment after the Sunday worship service, about once every eight weeks.  

AN OPPORTUNITY TO SURROUND THE BRIDE & GROOM WITH OUR LOVE AND BLESSING
Below you will find the SignUpGenius for our October 25 Fellowship Meal and our special celebration of Pastor Jarred and Christiane’s marriage.

We realize we are asking a bit more than usual for this event, and we are deeply grateful for your willingness to help. Our hope is that, as you contribute, you will share in the joy of blessing this happy couple and making this celebration meaningful for our church family.

Thank you for helping us create a wonderful time of fellowship, thanksgiving, and celebration as we rejoice together on this special occasion!

*Generally speaking, Aldi and most other grocery stores will put turkeys on sale starting as early as mid-October, so hopefully everyone can find some good deals for the special occasion.

TRUNK OR TREAT OUTREACH EVENT OCTOBER 24, FROM 2-4 PM
This is a wonderful opportunity for our church family to connect with and serve our community. Each year, we welcome around 100 children and their families, and we’re praying for even more this year. To make this event a success, we need lots of helping hands and plenty of participation from our church family.

One of the highlights of the day is decorating vehicle trunks with fun, Bible-themed displays. If decorating isn’t your thing, don’t worry! We’ve put together a collection of easy, ready-made trunk decoration kits available on Amazon. Simply order a kit, open your trunk, and you’re ready to go.

There are many other ways to get involved as well. We’re looking for volunteers to help run games and activities, and we also need lots of donated candy for our young guests.

You’ll find everything you need to know on our Trunk or Treat website: Visit the Trunk or Treat Information Page. You can also find details on the PBC website under Ministries > Kids Ministries > Learn More.

I want to personally invite you to our monthly Men’s Gathering tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. in Room C-8.

Our desire is to see men growing into faithful disciples of Christ who encourage one another, pray for one another, and lead well in their homes, the church, and the community. We’ll enjoy breakfast, open God’s Word, and spend time together in prayer for each other and the church. I hope you’ll join us.”

In Christ,

PBC ANNOUNCEMENTS Friday, July 31, 2026

Fall Sunday School and Community Life Group registration begins this weekend!
We’re also excited to soft launch our new Ministry Corner in the narthex. While it’s still a work in progress, our vision is for it to become a central place where you can discover the ministries of Providence Bible Church and find opportunities to connect, grow, and serve.
You can register for Sunday School and Community Life Groups by scanning the QR codes at the Ministry Corner, and if you need assistance, someone will be happy to help.
Our Fall Sunday School classes follow our Five Discipleship Tracks and include How to Study the Bible, Church History I, Cultivating a Relationship with God, Biblical Manhood & Womanhood, and Biblical Leadership. We hope you’ll stop by after the service, explore the Ministry Corner, and take your next step in discipleship this fall.

Providence Bible Church

BACK TO SCHOOL
Where did the summer go?  Our teachers and students are going back to school!!  Please keep everyone in your prayers.  

LOST N FOUND AND FORGOTTEN
I, Darlene, apologize for forgetting to set out all of the Lost N Found last Sunday.  Let’s try again.  Please stop by the Lost N Found table in the B hallway (right beside the church lobby) this Sunday and see if anything belongs to you.  Many items from previous events have been left in the church kitchen.  We would like to help them all find their way back home.  

NEXT FELLOWSHIP MEAL
Our next Fellowship Meal will be Sunday, August 30.   

UPCOMING MEN’S RETREAT
Men, mark your calendars!  PBC will be hosting a fall men’s retreat on October 16-17.  Details are still being finalized, but this will be a local retreat.  Stay tuned!!
