What I like best about what I do at PBC: God has truly blessed PBC! I enjoy being here and proved it by returning after only a year's absence. I feel as though the PBC family is part of my own, and the ministry performed here is so comforting. I am equally happy to assist with providing whatever talents I have to further enhance PBC's service to God. My job here is by far one of my most loved in the many years I have worked! |
