March Sermon Series - Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament Celebrations  On 8th Mar we begin a new sermon series.  We will be studying four of the Jewish feasts or festivals given by God to the new nation of Israel - Passover, Feast of Firstfruits, Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Trumpets.  These were special celebrations God instituted to help His people to ‘remember’ and to honour His name but they are also important for believers today to understand  because each one foreshadows or symbolises an aspect of the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

All Nations Sunday & Shared Lunch Sun 22nd Mar Our annual All Nations celebration Sunday is coming up next month, Sunday 22nd March.  Book this special Sunday on your calendar and start inviting your friends and family as we celebrate being all nations glorifying God together at PCF.
