Palm Creek Chapel possible blog

    I have not gone as far as stylizing info for this blogspot,  Neither have I chosen wording very carefully yet.  This is all one LONG blog for now that would be split into much more appealing secions -- all awaiting your decision on the subject of possibilities for communication with residents.  
     A blogspot is a free method of communicating with as many or as few as you wish.
    The website address can be published anywhere -- personally, in Chapel, in Happenings, on NextDoor, etc.  Those who access and read the blog cannot edit it unless we allow it (not recommended).  We can allow comments, allowing us to make corrections if necessary, and to make additions when we wish.
     The outline for Sunday services can be posted as often as you wish, along with special events (Communion, Food Drive, free movie, etc.)

The outline of this blog could be similar to that of Sue Hepler: Do check that out!   PalmCreekUpdate.blogspot.com.   Photos or sketches, etc. could be posted as a heading.
     Each of the next three paragraphs could be blocked as part of the Heading.

PALM CREEK COMMUNITY CHAPEL is a non-denominational ministry that has been meeting each winter since Dec. 12, 1999.  Their mission is to provide an opportunity for worship and spiritual guidance for residents and visitors at Palm Creek.  
    We are here to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, to nurture spiritual growth and to praise His name.

     After administrative expenses, all offerings are donated back into the Casa Grande community.  Thus far, over #$372,466 has been donated to various charities such as Seeds of Hope, Arizona Teen Challenge Boys and Girls Club, and the Casa Grande Food Bank.  Our last two season's (including our 'Covid' year) gifts totaled $42,661.

Pastor Wayne Sheppard is available for pastoral care and counseling both here in Palm Creek and at area hospitals.  Contact him at 318-880-1014 or Waynepcc40@gmail.com.


A fourth block could be beneath the above header, or listed as a right- or left-hand side box, listing Chapel board member(s) with contact numbers or e-mails.  
Volunteer categories could also be listed this way, with contact numbers or e-mails for those who wish to volunteer.



A new post can be published as often as you wish.
The following could be dated posts.       -- have a few pictures that my phone will not send to my computer today.  Could use lots more photos for every spot on the page

Five pick-up loads of food collected by Chapel:






Along with $3200, these were donated to the local Food Bank in January of 2022.


Another post:
A sample of the prayer shawls created in the Park, and donated to those in need of God's loving, healing presence, along with a prayer:
        "May it warm when you are weary.
        May it surround you with encouragement when you are discouraged.
        May it assure you of God's care and comfort when you and your loved ones are troubled.
        May it remind you that you are always safe in the arms of Jesus,
                and that you are surrounded by the prayers of others."
     

I'd add other pictures here.
