SCOUT LODGE HISTORY

HISTORY OF THE PTCUMC SCOUT LODGE Built by a community for our community. The story begins at our Windgate PTC Campus. The church was growing fast. The church was running out of space fast. Ministries were having to compete for a place to be. At that point we were the host for Boy Scout Troop 175 on our church campus. …

WOMEN OF INFLUENCE

My mother was my original faith influencer. She was the first to teach me that God knew me by name and that God would give purpose and direction to my life. Those childhood conversations formed a faith foundation on which everything that came after was built.  I remember many other women of influence. Mrs. Laney was my fifth-grade teacher.  She …

But every year there was an end to the cold and darkness—the days got longer and as they …

An Attitude of Gratitude

I love November. The full realization of fall cool weather is always refreshing. I often pick up an extra step in my walk as the beauty of the leaves and the crisp fall air begins to awaken something in my spirit that seemed to doze off across those hot summer days. But I must admit this November is different than …

Now the Jordan overflows all its banks throughout the time of …
