• Thank you to the cells/zones for taking turns in setting up the Big Gym for worship every Sunday. The church is now recruiting 30 adult brothers and sisters from both the Chinese and English congregations to take turns in the setup every Sunday. The setup starts at 8:15AM on Sunday and takes about 30 minutes, tasks include extending the bleachers, laying plastic carpets, placing curtains and black mats, and adding chairs for joint worship services. Participants will be divided into groups of 4, taking turns approximately every 4 to 6 weeks. Once the recruitment reaches 20 people, we will start operating in this mode; before that, we will continue to ask the cells/zones to take turns for the setup. PGC is our spiritual home, and we pray that God will move brothers and sisters to actively participate, cooperate, and allow the church brothers and sisters to focus on worshiping God every Sunday. If you have the heart to serve in this ministry, please contact admin Mabel for enquiries, or sign up with this link: https://forms.gle/hBPeHNwrKNW2qjqp9

Offering:

^“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”

- Malachi 3:10 (NIV)

PGC needs sufficient capital every year for development of church ministries. Encourage b/s to make financial offering based on bible's teaching  & God's provision.
