"Studying Sin Seriously"

Taught by Damon Baltimore

Wednesday Night Bible Class


CARE  (Compassionate Aid of Resources)
Contacts:  Damon Baltimore
This is a operation that creates stockpiles of staple foods, bedding, and household supplies, which can be distributed to those in need in the Harrisburg area. It is our responsibility to serve those in need and to be inclusive and not reclusive and serve those in need. We are also looking for supplies that can be trucked to areas of need in times of disaster. In addition, medical supplies are being acquired which will be shipped to medical mission efforts throughout the world.


Vacation Bible School    July 9th - 13th, 2007                   
Contacts: Damon Baltimore
VBS is a 5-day summer program of Bible stories, skits, and crafts designed for classes for all ages of children, teens and adults. Our 2007 VBS is a special effort is made to reach and bring in children in the surrounding communities. This years theme is
"Take the plunge’ Make a splash with Jesus."

Philippians 2:15 urges us to be, "children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation." The verse then continues to define our responsibility by saying, "among whom you shine as lights in the world." Though we are not of this world, God expects us to make a difference in it.

This series offers a starter course in how to do just that. While each of our own situations is unique, this series will look at five broadly applicable lessons on how not only to survive but thrive in this last frontier we call life on earth.

Camp objectives

PCC is open to everyone, regardless of race, color, or creed.  Our goal is to provide campers with an opportunity to enjoy Bible study, recreation, and the association of their fellow campers in the midst of some of God's most beautiful handwork -- Blue Knob State Park.  Since PCC is a CHRISTIAN camp, each camper is expected to act in harmony with the high ideals that have been characteristic of past camping sessions.
