Meals 4 Children - the weekend food program has restarted for children at our Burrell District schools who are facing food insecurity. We're working with two other area churches: Redemption Church & Grace Community Pres. to provide weekend meal kits that are discreetly delivered by school staff (2x a month). Currently, we are providing for 31 kids. Please pray for or help volunteer for this needed program.
Events for the Week
On Sun. August 16th we will receive our newest members (Jim & Kathy Esterly) by reaffirmation of faith! We will have a coffee hour after worship that day, which will be a great time to welcome them. Welcome, Jim & Kathy!

*Origins (formerly TryLife) offers pregnancy & parenting support resources to those in our area!
*We have "upped" our partnership with them by committing to send a work team the 2nd Tuesday of every month (5-8 PM).
*Origins will be providing all the supplies; they simply need willing hands to help.
There is a sign-up sheet on our Outreach Bulletin Board in the main hallway. You can also call the office to see which months we need the most help.

To help each person live out our Mission & Vision, the Outreach Team wants to encourage every person who is part of the Puckety Church Family to become more involved in the various outreach events that are going on. In the coming year, we plan to explore different ways to show support to our local schools, support local charitable agencies, work with fellow churches, and make a difference with a global effort.
Exciting news! We are moving into "Phase 3" of our Worship & Upgrade Project! We've accepted a proposal through Horizon Information Services – adding much better equipment to replace the outdated equip. we’re currently struggling with, to deal with our sound issues (both in-house and online), a better interface for the praise team, pastor and worship leaders. The overhaul of our technological equipment will not only enhance our worship to honor God; it will help us to implement our Vision to make a “lasting difference” in the world (online broadcasting of services to other community engagement) reaching many others better to bring them to the Lord in new and effective ways.
We pray that upgrading the worship experience will help bring in many people who don’t know Jesus. We believe this is part of the Great Commission to make disciples - that others would come to know and worship our risen Savior – that is the WHY behind all this: to reach more souls for Christ, and serve His kingdom. This is a sizeable project that requires financing. The Session unanimously voted to apply for a 5-year loan from PILP (the agency the church used in the past – in coordination with the Presbytery) for the amount of $75,000 to meet the expenses. We are calling on the support of the members and congregation of Puckety, including financial pledges for the duration.
Please know a great deal of time, thought, prayer, and discussion has gone into the discernment of these changes. Believing this to be a direction the Spirit is leading Puckety, we are calling on the members of Puckety Church to help by pledging to the project. This will need the financial support of our congregation. Since this decision was unanimously agreed on by the Session, you can count on the Elders backing it as well. One of the wonderful things we have seen and experienced together is how we can witness God move and work if we have the faith to follow His lead!
