At PBC, we celebrate the arts and work to incorporate them into the worshiping life of our church. This fall we hope to open a show in The Gallery entitled “Blessed Are,” which will be centered around ideas from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. If you are a visual artist or have a passion for the arts, we’d love to invite you to a short lunch following the services on July 21. We’ll gather to hear a bit about the upcoming fall series, in hopes that it might inspire some pieces that are a creative expression of the theme. Please RSVP to Linzy at [email protected].

The Pastor’s Lounge is upstairs in the church office building.

Join us for a potluck dinner, games, worship, s’mores, and more! These casual community nights are a time to fellowship together as the body of Christ while having fun here at PBC!

Invite your friends and join us!

Entree provided by PBC. Please plan to share:
A-M – bring a side dish or salad
N-Z – bring a dessert

Camp PBC provides a unique opportunity to spend time living together with brothers and sisters in the PBC family. We will be camping at beautiful Lake Siskiyou, in the shadow of Mount Shasta.

About

Approximately 100 people come to Camp PBC each year. It’s a great place to relax and unwind from the busyness of life and get to know others in our community. Camp PBC is open to people of all ages and stages of life.

Each attendee pays costs directly to Lake Siskiyou resort when you check in. The cost is as follows:

• Individuals 11 years and older: $5 per night
• Cars: $5 per night
• Pets: $2 per night (breed restrictions apply)
• Children 10 and younger: free

For more information, check out our Beginner’s Guide to Camp PBC.

Activities

The pace of the week is slow. Spend a quiet morning at camp or a leisurely afternoon at the beach or take advantage of other activities include boating, river rafting, hiking, swimming, and fishing.

Meals

Apart from the Saturday group potluck BBQ, each family cooks their own meals. There is an option to join with a meal group to share the cooking with other families. That can be done on the registration page. Bring some food for the Sunday appetizer night and bring extras to invite a summer invite to join you one night for dinner.

Provide dinner for our Hotel de Zink shelter guests in August.

PBC will be hosting Hotel de Zink, an emergency shelter, in August for 15 men and women who are homeless. We need volunteers to bring a prepared or purchased dinner for 15 guests at the shelter. Consider inviting your family, friends, or home fellowship group to participate.

Click on “Register for Event” below to sign up to bring a dinner.

Hotel de Zink was established in 1989 and rotates between twelve local churches with each church hosting for a month. LifeMoves (formerly Urban Ministries) oversees the program and provides trained staff to supervise the shelter at night and also provides breakfast in the morning. The host church provides dinner and a place to sleep (in our case, the Upper Room). Guests will arrive between 6:30 and 9 pm to eat dinner, sleep at PBC, and leave by 7:30am the next morning.

Enjoy an afternoon together as a church family, meet new friends, and have fun! We’ll have a BBQ and organized games for “kids” of all ages. PBC will provide grilled food and beverages.

Please bring food to share:
A–L salad
M–Z dessert

Our theme for the retreat is Living Community.

Church is much more than a building or a Sunday worship service. Church is the community of faith through which God forms and transforms all believers, regardless of age, to become more like Jesus. It takes a church to raise a follower of Jesus, and together, we are that church. Our speaker, Charlie Broxton, will help us learn more about what it looks like to be a vital part of this kind of life-changing community.

Our speaker

This year our guest speaker will be Charlie Broxton who is the Pastor to Emerging Generations of First Presbyterian Church in Visalia. Charlie is currently completing a doctorate with an emphasis on ministry to emerging generations. He will be preaching at PBC on July 21 as part of our “Songs of the Soul” series (pbc.org/sermons/).

About the retreat

The Fall Retreat is for the whole PBC family: children, youth, adults, single, and married. The retreat offers an opportunity to learn together, to worship together, and to connect with others in a more deeper way. In addition to excellent teaching and worship, the retreat will feature age-appropriate teaching, games, and activities for children, including a jump house. The possibilities for Saturday afternoon free time include a zip line, a ropes course, a climbing wall, hiking, and swimming. Childcare and classes will be provided for children up to fourth grade during the teaching sessions.

Registration will begin in late August
