November Birthdays
Keep Step Morgan and his family in your prayers.
After ten (!) surgeries, Step Morgan will be coming home in the next few days, Lord willing.
Continue to pray for no infection as he heals, and that he and his family would be able to adjust to their new circumstances with a joyful submission to the wise, powerful, and good will of God.
There will be opportunities to serve and contribute to his recovery needs, so let’s be ready to step forward as we have opportunity and resources.
Men, the Men’s Retreat is next Friday-Saturday!

Operation Christmas Child is almost here.
POPC has been partnering with Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Christmas Child (OCC) ministry for the past several years to share the light and hope of the gospel to some of the darkest places on earth.
Sunday, November 15th is Operation Christmas Child Sunday. We will be putting together Operation Christmas Child boxes in all children’s Sunday School classes. For more information, please read the letter that was sent home this past Sunday.
If you do not have a student but would like to donate items for the shoe boxes in the Sunday School classes please leave your items and checks in the Children’s Ministry office during the week or on Sunday morning.
Volunteers are needed! If you would like to volunteer during National Collection Week, contact Jenny Murphy at (601) 906-9776.
November is National Adoption Month.
Moses’ Basket is a ministry of our church that seeks to serve and support our church body in bringing awareness to and supporting orphans, foster care, and adoption.
Every November, Moses’ Basket chooses a specific need to support related to orphans, foster care, and adoption. This year the Moses’ Basket team has decided to help Sunnybrook Children’s Home.
Sunnybrook is currently in great need of an industrial combination washer and dryer unit for one of their homes. We hope to be able to purchase this need for them through donations.
To donate, please click here and select Orphan Sunday from the fund drop down menu. Due to covid precautions, we are not passing buckets around this year in Sunday School.
Do you have our church directory on your phone?
If you don’t have Shelby (our digital member directory) on your phone yet, please click here for information on downloading the app and logging in.
If you do have Shelby, please check your information to make sure your birthday, current address, and a current picture is in there. If it’s not, or if it’s incorrect, please update it!
This is a great tool to contact other members, put a face with a name, and other tasks like taking attendance if you’re a Sunday School teacher.
