Hunger has grown into an epidemic in our nation. According to 2017-18 Wake County data, compiled by the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, there were 126,480 food insecure individuals in our community. This number includes 41,060 children under 18 who are food insecure in Wake County. Being food insecure means that an individual is unable to access enough nutritious food to live a healthy, active life, or they go hungry because they have to skip meals.

PGC has an opportunity to help in the fight against food insecurities!!!! We are pleased to announce that we will participate in the Summer Food Program again this year. This program provides nutritious meals to children 18 and under who are food deprived especially when school is not in session and they do not have access to free or reduced meals.

PGC disciples, their family members, friends and neighbors are invited to volunteer as PGC serves as Site Coordinator serving nutritious meals (they will be provided to us), participates in games/activities with the children, and has an opportunity to share God's love and His Word with the adults and children at Chatham Forest.

During Biblical times the Upper Room was a place devoted to prayer and reflection. Whether it is a place or space in our lives, we come to the Upper Room expecting an encounter with Christ.

The Virtual Upper Room will provide a weekly opportunity for united and focused prayer. A published schedule of topics, subject to change based on the global events of the moment, provide a call to action - to pray for the lost, needy and suffering. And our commission - to pray boldly and consistently in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Join us every Tuesday at 6:30 am and 8:30 pm EST. Each call will last approximately 15 minutes. We ask that you will take the focus of the weekly prayer and pray consistently and intently throughout the coming week.
