The Kingdom We BuildMarch 12, 2017 | Pastor Ray Noah

FOR YOUR CHILDREN & STUDENTSWe believe that investing in our children is one of the best things we can do as a church. Each Sunday we have great opportunities for children to grow, from birth through college.

NURSERY CARE STARTING AT 9:00 AM | NEWBORN – 2 YEARS IN THE HONEY HIVE NURSERY

CHILDREN'S OPPORTUNITIES 9:00 AM & 10:30 AM | SUNDAY SCHOOL & KIDS CHURCH

YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES 9:00 AM | SUNDAY SCHOOL

COLLEGE OPPORTUNITIES 5:00 PM | COLLEGE-AGE WORSHIP SERVICE

AS OUR GUEST TODAYWe invite you to fill out a Friendship Card found in the back of the pew. Please take it to the Welcome Center in the lobby for a special welcome gift. We look forward to learning how we can help, pray for and connect you with our church family.

We are so glad you have come to worship with us. We have prayed about the service today, and we are confident you will experience a real sense of God’s presence in our midst. Although we come into His presence fully human, and—unfortunately often—imperfect, we believe we are a church family that pleases the heart of God. You will discover the very nature of Portland Christian Center cannot be pinned to a building, a program or an event—it is about the person of Jesus Christ and growing in a love relationship with Him. Our prayer for you today is that His love would fill you to the point where it overflows naturally into your everyday lives.

We invite you to take steps today to:
