WHOOHOO!!!!!

The remodeling of our new building has begun! Bright and early Monday morning CST Environmental Corporation from Houston invaded our building, set up shop, and began a three week process of demolishing all the unnecessary infrastructure and ridding the building of all the residual manufacturing dust from PC Dynamics.

If you missed the announcement Sunday you missed the big news.  Last week the Board of Directors of Legacy Texas Bank voted to settle amicably with us and cover our expenses for the clean up of the building.  Patrick Shelby, the majority owner of the bank, is a man of integrity. After walking through the details of what occurred with him last Wednesday morning, he assured us the bank would do the right thing—and they did!

What this means is that we are on track for a late fall completion of the building.  Soon after Labor Day we will begin carrying out the exciting transition plans necessary for moving the church to its new location.  In the meantime, please continue to pray that in all the excitement we won’t lose sight of our mission of helping people find and follow Christ.  You can ensure that we don’t by continuing to invite your friends, neighbors, and co-workers to join your for Weekend Worship.

This week continue to pray also for our students at Youth Camp.  Early reports are that things are going extremely well.  We had 49 kids and 21 adults go to Corpus Christi for the week.  Our hope is that God will use this time in the lives of our students to help them make the next right step in their journey of faith.  For some of them that means crossing the line of faith for the first time and entrusting their lives to Christ.  For others it means learning to live out their faith in practical ways in a challenging and hostile world.  You can contribute to their experience and growth by praying for them faithfully this week.  We’ll look forward to hearing a brief report on their week at the conclusion of Sunday morning’s service.

Speaking of Sunday morning, Paul will continue our series What Do I Tell My Kids? and focus on the topic of divorce.  Very few families remain unscathed by divorce in some way.  Whether you are the child of divorced parents, have close friends or family who have experienced one, or maybe even walking through one right now, helping your children understand what is really going on can make a huge difference in their lives for decades to come.  Paul is going to offer some wise advice and counsel from God’s work that will be a great resource to you.  Don’t miss it!

God is up to some remarkable things at PTCC I’m glad you are a vital part of them!

Parenting often feels like a walk through a cultural mine-field. So many forces are vying for the attention and hearts of our children. Quite naturally we want to nurture and guide them in a way that protects them and prepares them for their future. In What Do I Tell My Kids? Jim Johnson and Paul Basden will address some of the most difficult issues that parents and kids are facing today such as sex, drinking, divorce, tattoos and piercings, and dinosaurs.
You will not want to miss this!
