From the Pastor's Desk

      Rev. Jim Woodring

Welcome to our electronic church.  Would you like to be a part of us?  Well, don't buy a pig in a poke.  Let me tell you about us.

The purpose of our church is to do our best to keep the two commands of Jesus, to love God with our whole beings, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.  We do this by seeking the well-being of other people.

1. We do it on an individual level with people we meet in our daily rounds at school, job, home, at play, or while shopping.  We love others through these direct contacts seeking to promote healing, wholeness, and well-being.

2. We do it through Church programs and offerings- One Great Hour of Sharing, disaster relief, Repair Affair here in Bell County, pencils for school kits for children in other countries, Acts of Mercy Fund for emergency financial help, and soup for emergency food needs.

3. We do it through those two wonderful Bible teachings of sanctuary and hospitality.  Our building and field are community resources for as our sign says "Presbyterian Field Everyone Welcome".  This welcome includes Pineville Independent School programs of the High School Band, cheerleaders, and field days.  Then there are pick-up football games, T-ball, soccer practice, and the beauty, joy, and shade of our giant oak tree.  Inside we welcome Girl Scouts, 4-H Club, Parent's Anonymous, community music, and Domestic Violence Council.

We are called to use all of the resources we have to the highest glory of God.  Come and see us, We need all the help we can get in our mission of loving others, and working for their well-being.
