Park Lake Presbyterian Church

                  Park Lake On Wednesday

                  6:00 - 7:45 p.m.

.

Park Lake is committed to being the Body of Christ. This means growing in our faith, in our commitment to Christ, in our community as believers. One of the ways we do this is through gathering mid-week to break bread together, share a meal, share concerns, laugh, talk, and yes, even learn. This is an intergenerational gathering. Come pray with us about people who stand in special need. Come, we’ll sing Happy Birthday or Happy Anniversary to you on your special day! Come be with your church family. Come touch base. Come relax. We have activities for all ages and interests:

There is a rotation of adult activities including drama, crafts, hands-on activities, small groups, Center Stage Bible study, video series, book discussions and more. See the Worship and Work monthly newsletter for activities and menus for the month.

P.L.O.W. is held September through May.

This casual men's group meets each Monday in Struble Hall of the Education Building from Noon-1 p.m. Brown bag your lunch. The Bible study is led by a co-pastor and group members. Contact Dan DeBevoise for more information.

This group of retired adults meets monthly for a luncheon and program, and an occasional organized day trip. Schedules are published in the Worship and Work monthly newsletter.  Please contact the church office for more information.

Women of all ages meet once a month from September - May in their individual Circles for Bible Study, fellowship and mission projects.  Meetings are usually the first or second week of each month.  Locations are listed in the Worship and Work monthly newsletter.  Please contact the church office for more information.

The Bible Study for 2012-13 is "Dispatches to God's Household: The General Epistles" by Nancy Benson-Nicol.  Be sure to attend Circle meetings and enjoy a "ladies night out" of fellowship and spiritual growth!  If you are not currently involved in a Circle, it is never too late to start.  Presbyterian Women would love for you to join them!

As part of their mission projects, Circles ask Park Lakers to collect Box Tops for Education for Thornwell Home, Campbells Soup labels for Duval Home, food coupons for the Russell Home and aluminum pop tabs for Ronald McDonald House.  All items may be placed behind the door in the work room in the church office or given to any Circle member.  Thank you!

The Park Lake book club, the Page Turners, meets at 10:00 a.m. in the Koinonia Sunday School classroom (located in the lower floor of the Sanctuary Building) on the fourth Thursday of each month.  Please join us for some great discussion. All adult readers are welcome!  For book titles or if you have questions, contact Anne Gardepe.  Book selections can also be found each month in the Worship and Work monthly newsletter.

The Park Lake Players drama group includes members of the congregation and friends who enjoy live theater and performing.  Theatrical presentations are made during the Advent and Lenten seasons.  All ages and abilities are welcome to participate.  Cast sizes vary.  No prior experience necessary!  Please contact Anne Gardepe or the church office for more information.

Park Lake Gay Straight Partners is a group of Christians who believe we are all God's children, who come together for worship, friendship and to share His love with all. The intent of this group is to provide the opportunity for dialogue, to share information and to provide education regarding the diversity within our congregation. Meetings are announced in the Worship and Work monthly newsletter and in the Sunday worship bulletin. Anyone interested is invited to attend. Please contact Gayle Schmidt at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
