"This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope.

The LORD's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,

For His compassions never fail.

They are new every morning.

Great is Your faithfulness."

Lamentations 3: 21-23

A Happy Birthday Event!

On Sunday we enjoyed a great celebration of life for one of our church members.

Miss Cricket is one of the founding members of our church, a lady who loves to tell everyone what the Lord has done to bring our church into existence, and how He's blessed us.

She's a blessing to us too!

May God give you many more years of loving service.

Fellowship Suppers

On the second Saturday of each month, Pamlico Presbyterian Church hosts a fellowship supper at 6:00 PM for everyone. Please come! You are welcome to come visit us on this informal occasion. We enjoy a delicious meal together and then listen to a brief 15 minute program. Our programs range from musical groups, games, sing-alongs, to presentations from local groups like hospice or charity organizations. Come join us!

Happy New Year!

The members of Pamlico Presbyterian Church wish you a happy new year, filled with joy in our Lord, peace in your life, and fellowship with believers. God bless you!

Lessons and Carols Service, 2012

On Sunday evening, December 16, Pamlico Presbyterian Church offered a Lessons and Carols Service to the community, and to God's glory. The sanctuary was decorated with poinsettias in memory or in honor of loved ones from the congregation members.

Our hand chime choir has been practicing faithfully this fall, in anticipation of this service. They played a lovely peal to open the service, and then played  a beautiful arrangement of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel."

We had special music from several members of the congregation.

After the worshipful service, everyone enjoyed a fellowship meal together. The fellowship hall was very full -- of both food and people! Nearly every seat was occupied, and no one left hungry. We enjoyed having many visitors for the evening, both from the community and those visiting church families for the Christmas season.

Merry Christmas to everyone, from us at Pamlico Presbyterian Church. May God bless you with the joy found only in Him. Below is the order of worship for the service.
