Flocking has begun!

March 20-May 31.

The flock is coming! For a donation to support their overseas adventure, the High School France Team will “flock” the yard of your choosing with a colorful display of flamingos!

Want to surprise a friend? Amuse a neighbor? Prank your family? Just let our team know who deserves a flamingo visitation, and we’ll handle the rest!

But here’s the twist – each flocked yard will also receive a note revealing who sent the flamingos their way. Revenge flocking is not only permitted… it’s encouraged!

• One Flock: $30 (Instructions below)
• Flock Insurance: $50 (Insurance ensures that you cannot get flocked. BUT, insurance can be superseded by a Super Flock! See instructions below)
• Super Flock: $75 (If you purchase a Super Flock it will override the other person’s Flock Insurance and doubles the flock size!)

Instructions:

1. Choose the number of Flocks (or Super Flocks!) that you would like to purchase.
2. If you would like to purchase Flock Insurance for your yard, select “1” next to Flock Insurance on your registration.
3. On the next screen, “Attendees,” click the dropdown menu next to Flocks and/or Super Flocks and select “Add a new person.” (Do not click the box to “Add this person to my household.)
4.  Enter the first and last name of the person you want to Flock or Super Flock for each purchase you are making.
5. If you are purchasing Flock Insurance, make sure to leave your name in the Attendee field.
6. Select your payment method and you’re all set!

Happy Flocking!

Are you, or is someone you know, in need of pastoral care? We all have times in life when we need support. Sometimes that support is in the form of meals or a hospital visit. Sometimes that support looks like someone to listen and pray with you. Our Pastoral Care Team would love to come alongside you and care for you in this time. Click the button to fill out a prayer request and mark “yes” for someone to contact you. You are so loved.

Join Labor of Love Volunteer Team!

Are you a fixer? Do you love to repair things? Do you want to learn some home improvement skills? We meet the second Saturday of each month at 8:30AM in the Parlor for donuts, coffee, and chatting and then head out to do jobs around the church.

This is a great way to hang out with other people who love home repair and learn more about specific projects. Click here to join the group. Thank you for spreading love in our community and helping us take care of this beautiful building!

The Daily Practice

The Daily Practice is a devotional tool from Platt Park Church for developing the habit of daily time with God.

Learning to love God takes practice. Just like exercising a muscle, our hearts are trained to love from the bottom up, through the formation of our habits and practices. Discipleship is about curating our hearts to love God and the things that God loves. Forces of our culture train us to love things other than God all the time, but spiritual practices help us to be attentive and intentional about what my heart really loves and desires. Following Jesus is more a matter of hungering and thirsting than of knowing and believing and it is our habit forming practices that form our desires over time. May this daily practice tune your heart to sing His praise.

Click HERE to listen on the web, or find us wherever podcasts are available by searching for “Platt Park Church” or “Daily Practice: Time with God”.

You can also listen from the Platt Park Church App!

Apple Tree Clothes Closet

The APPLE TREE CLOSET is open for shopping! Beautiful, upscale women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories are regularly donated to us by Common Threads on South Pearl and you can purchase them for a fraction of their original price.

Students and those with low income can even shop for free! The proceeds from this ministry benefit our Benevolence/Blessing Fund. Come check it out on the lower level!

(Due to space limitations we are no longer accepting donated items from the congregation).

Blessing Team

Did you know that our church has a “Blessing Team?’” This is a group of dedicated individuals who are available to help meet the needs of people in our faith community. Our role is to support and encourage through a variety of means such as providing meals, financial assistance, visitation, and prayer.

Do you know of someone in need? Please let us know.
