Greetings in the New Year of 2023!

 

By the time you receive this message it will be time to pack away the Christmas decorations for another year.  Before I do that I want to take this opportunity to thank God and you for all my blessings.  I so much appreciate the willingness of folks to step up and sing in our small choir this Christmas season. Thank you Kathy Kern for all the extra rehearsal time and your patience with us.  I also appreciate all those who attended the Max Lucado study.  Much more than that, I am thankful for your friendship and the opportunities that I have had in the past year to do ministry with and for each of you.  It is a joy to serve in such a loving community and church family.  Each of you are a special one of God's creation and I am thrilled to see you growing in your relationships with Jesus.

 

It has also been a joy to work with our secretary, Judy Parker in the office.  Her experience and efficiency make my work easy and her sense of humor is delightful.

 

It was a joy at Easter time to welcome Pastor Karen Burkley to the church and she has proved to be a wonderful pastor and a loving presence in our church.  Her sermons have opened the Bible to us in new ways and have contributed to building our faith as a congregation and individually.

 

I give thanks too for all the volunteers at the church that help with the food pantry, maintaining the building, staying in touch with shut-ins, and all the little things that just get done!

 

When I count my blessings, I count PCC and all of its' members and staff twice.

 

Wishing you all many blessings in 2023!

 

It is a joy to be serving Christ with all of you in our community of Pittsboro. 

 

Blessings to all,

Pastor Donna
