HISTORY LESSON
a. Declaration of Independence 1776
b. PCC 1951
c. PCC 2021
INTERDEPENDENCE DAY at PCC!
"Healing from the trauma (COVID, race issues, politics, departures) being interdependent, not independent."
MYSTERY PUZZLE
"Like a puzzle that is interdependent on each individual piece to create the complete picture, so it is with each of us at PCC as we move forward together."
LETTUCE = HEBREWS 10:19 (NLT)
19 And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. 20 By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place.21 And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house,
22 let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.
24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.
25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

PCC BENEDICTION
May you jump into the arms of Jesus and may He push out into the world. May you be healed as you participate in the healing of others. Not because you must, but because you may. This is why we were born!

Beyond Sunday
Over the next year, as we seek God’s direction for PCC, our overarching theme will be TOGETHER: WE ARE PCC. This theme will be reflected in our Sunday message series, worship/prayer Sundays between series, weekly prayer opportunities, special campus events, and regular updates. Our theme is based on Hebrews 10:19-25 where a church facing challenges and an unknown future was called to stick together and be interdependent. This week we focus on how to be interdependent.
1. During this season of transition at PCC, what are you grieving and/or looking forward to?
2. What does it mean to be interdependent? How have you seen interdependence benefit you more than independence? Why is it hard for individuals to be interdependent?
3. Reflect on Hebrews 10:19-22. List all the things in the passages that Jesus provides for you? Which word or phrase impacts you the most? What emotion(s) does this stir in you? How is this understanding key to us being interdependent with each other?
4. Reflect on Hebrews 10:22-25. Note the 4 “Let us” action statements the church is called to. Why are these essential to being a healthy church? What hinders these from happening in churches? Which one do you see is the most challenging for our PCC community?
5. The 4 “Let us” action statements relate to our PCC Discipleship Pathway G4 Strategy. Which of these come most natural to you and which are more challenging? What small or large step is God calling you to take in one of these areas. And if you do, how will it benefit you and the overall PCC community?
