On this last Lord's Day of January 2017, we post the following news items from the PRC congregations and her mission fields:
Congregational news:
- Today Heritage PRC in Sioux Falls, SD celebrates her tenth anniversary. We rejoice with them and pray God's continued blessing on them. This is the note found in her bulletin leading up to the celebration:
On Sunday evening, January 29, during our 4:00 p.m. service, we will commemorate 10 years of worship services in Sioux Falls. After the evening worship service we will have a congregational luncheon. Under the auspices of the Domestic Mission Committee and oversight of Edgerton PRC, worship services began on January 28, 2007 in the Ambassador Room at the Holiday Inn downtown, with Rev. Rodney Kleyn preaching for the morning service and Rev. David Overway preaching in the afternoon. Rev. Brummel will preach an appropriate sermon and we urge you to invite family and friends to join us in celebration of God’s faithfulness. A group photo will be taken after the evening service, so we encourage everyone to be present.
