“It is not for nothing that the central rite of Christ’s religion is not a fast but a feast,

as if to say that the one indispensable requirement for obtaining a portion in Him is an appetite, some hunger, is to be without

what we must have and He can give..” —A. J. Gossip

COUNSELING

instruments in the redeemer's handsThe goal of this course is to equip us for leadership and ministry to others while encouraging us to personally grow in resting in the Lord's sovereignty, relying on the resources of His grace, and practically doing His will. June 13–August 15, 7:00–8:30 pm, in Oak Lawn West, we will talk a lot about personal ministry—getting alongside people to serve them—to assist them in making the changes God wants them to make. While that is a formal ministry of the church, it is also the lifestyle calling of every believer and every leader in the church. Please consider this opportunity as a way to grow and develop your own heart and skills so that you might be a blessing to others. You are needed in the life and ministry of PCPC, in your community, and in your home. Email Pat Hobin to register for this course. Contact pat.hobin@pcpc.org or 214-224-2541.
