On Sunday, October 30, 2016 the Council of Faith PRC will begin overseeing worship services at Heritage Christian School (Hudsonville, MI - meeting in the new music room on the far east end) for a group of about 40 families (200 of her members) who desire to form a new daughter congregation in the Hudsonville/Jenison area.

Worship services will be at 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. The morning services will be led by Rev. J. Slopsema (emeritus PRC pastor), who will preach the Heidelberg Catechism sermons. The evening services will be supplied by PRC Seminary professors and students, as well as area ministers.

Those in the Hudsonville/Jenison area who are looking for a faithful Reformed church home are welcome to join the group in worship and fellowship.

Through Faith PRC's Council, the group plans to request Classis East in January 2017 to be organized into a new congregation.

On Sunday, October 9, 2016 three PRC congregations voted to extend calls. In alphabetical order they are as follows:

BYRON CENTER PRC - To Rev. C Griess (Calvary PRC, Hull, IA), for home missionary.

SW PRC - To Rev. B. Huizinga (Hope PRC, Redlands, CA), for pastor.

Let us remember these men and these congregations in prayer as they seek to discover God's will for them.

We also continue to remember Rev. N. Decker in prayer as he considers the call to serve as third missionary in the Philippines.
