Each month this year, I am going to consider, meditate on, and blog about one of the Holy Habits – also called Spiritual Disciplines – that help us grow deeper in our relationship with Christ. In September, you guessed it! I’m starting this series with “Bible Study and Meditation on Scripture.” One of my favorite […]

Jane’s Blog – Dealing with Difficulties, Part 4
I don’t know how many times I’ve read the passage we studied this past Sunday in Romans 7, or how many times my attempts to read it out loud have ended in me speaking gibberish. But this week as the scripture was read (very eloquently!), two phrases jumped out at me. The first was “waging […]
Jane’s Blog – Dealing with Difficulties, Part 3
I have some friends who readily admit that they don’t like making the little decisions – the “micro” ones, as Pastor Sean called them in his message this past Sunday. I know these friends well, and so I find their indecision about things like who will drive to church and where they will eat out […]

PLC is hosting an Art Exhibit this Sunday, August 16, titled “Ignite the Spirit Fire,” and on a whim I decided to try my hand for the first time at painting with acrylics so I could enter the exhibit.

Hi, my name is Susan McClatchey. I am a single mother of a wonderful 25 year-old son named John, and currently working as Head of Quality at a local biotech company. I want to share a little about myself and how I came to be a new member at PLC and a recent attendee of […]
Jane’s Blog – The Language of Culture
Several years ago I had the privilege of going to Athens, Greece, and saw the site where Paul met with the Areopagus to proclaim the message of Jesus. Pastor Rob referred to the site as Mars Hill (Acts 17:22), and today it’s one of the major attractions near the Acropolis. But the phrase that caught […]
Jane’s Blog by Guest Blogger Alison Drews
In a world that glorifies conformity and is quick to associate people with different groups, it can be a challenge to be accepting of those who are not similar to us. However, as Pastor Rob pointed out this Sunday, this is an obstacle we must overcome if we are going to rekindle the fire of […]
