Pastor Rhett is starting a Communicants Class!  This is a class for youth who are interested in becoming church members.

The Communicants Class will meet on Thursday afternoons from 4PM – 5PM beginning on March 12th and continuing until May 7th.

See Pastor Rhett for more info.

“May I…?” is our Outreach Event for the month of May and is an emphasis on helping our neighbors.  This month we are encouraging ourselves to PRAY for our neighbors, to HELP our neighbors, and to INVITE our neighbors to church and to meet Jesus.  When you do these things this month, drop the corresponding colored pom pom into the display in the atrium.  We would love to overflow our board and cover our whole county!  Let’s be good neighbors!

Join us for our First Wednesday on May 6th at 5:30PM for our potluck and at 6:00PM for our program where we will hear from Rev. Lee Shelnutt and his work with SEEDs Ministry.

The Flat Rock Farmers Market will once again be meeting in our back lot this summer!  Come shop local every Thursday from 3PM – 6PM starting May 7th and continuing until October.

Sunday, May 10th, is Mother’s Day!  We will have a small gift to all the ladies after our worship service.

“a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”

About Serge Internships in Southern Spain

The Serge Team in Southern Spain, through a church plant, Bible studies, outreach, activities for kids and teens, and opportunities to learn English, is seeing a Christ-focused community taking root in an area where the younger generation has been left with a deep cynicism toward the church and religion. Joining them, I will be mentored and discipled by the long-term missionaries on the team, learn what it looks like to do ministry in this context, and support the life of the local church by helping lead English camps, among other things!

As an intern in Spain, I will spend 8 weeks doing hands-on overseas missions work and growing in the gospel. I’ll get to experience Christ-centered, grace-based, personal mentoring and learn how to build intentional relationships, while sharing the gospel in a cross-cultural context.

How you can join me!

I’m asking you to pray for the following things:

  • Trust in the many unknowns this path brings
  • Preparation of both my heart and the hearts of those I’ll meet
  • Fully funded by April 2026

Each Southern Spain Serge intern is attempting to raise $6,476.95 to cover the costs of the internship for 8 weeks including all our travel, living and ministry expenses. I could not do this without the support and generosity of others, and I’m asking that you might pray this week and consider if you would partner with me financially.

About Serge Internships in London

London is perhaps one of the most diverse cities in the world. Many people from South Asia, especially from the Punjab region, call this community home. For over 20 years, Serge has been establishing church plants that seek to celebrate, share, and enjoy the gospel of Jesus in culturally understandable ways in the British South Asian context of North West London. 

As an intern in London, I will get to immerse myself in the Hindu and Jain cultures, while being mentored by long term missionaries and getting to serve alongside South Asian pastors and ministry leaders through the work of the local church and various mercy ministries.  

How you can join me!

A core value that Serge holds to is doing ministry from weakness. This speaks deeply to me as I am continually in need of the reminder that He is God, I am not, and that’s a good thing! I’m asking for prayer for the following things:
 
  • That God would be preparing my heart to intersect with the hearts of those I will meet
  • To rest in the fact that God is worthy of my trust 
  • That London itself would see a resurgence of interest in Christ 

Alongside that, another way that you can partner with me is through financial support. The total trip cost is $7,584.77 which includes all international travel and daily living costs. I’m asking that you pray and consider if you feel called to contribute as a financial supporter. I look forward to reaching out in a few weeks so I can answer any questions you may have!

Pinecrest ARP Church has switched to a new online giving platform.  We will soon end our Tithe.ly services and will only be accepting donations through Zeffy.  This will allow us to receive 100% of all donations, without having to assess any fees.

If you currently have automatic payments set up through Tithe.ly, please cancel them and switch over to our new giving platform using our giving webpage found at the link below.

The church has a new-to-us bus!  This bus does not require a special driver’s license – anyone can be a bus driver!

If you’re willing to be a church bus driver, contact the church office.

A few more volunteers are needed to help with the after worship coffee and cookie fellowship. A sign-up sheet is located on the refreshment table.

The Greeter Team is always looking for new people to help on Sunday mornings.  If you can say, “Welcome to church! We are so glad you are here!” to everyone who enters the church building, you’re qualified! Talk to Rhett Carson to sign up.

On the bulletin board outside the sanctuary is a sign up sheet to provide flowers for the worship service.
