Our first work day for Manatee County Habitat for Humanity’s 25th Interfaith Build is Saturday January 11, 7:30 am-noon. We are excited about this opportunity to serve, and welcome family and friends to join us!

Volunteers 16 and older are needed at the home site at 2207 11th St. W., Bradenton to work alongside experienced volunteers who will guide you through tasks such as painting, planting, hammering, and loading and unloading materials; no experience is needed. You may also volunteer to help provide snacks for workers. Sign up in the Sanctuary lobby, or by calling the office at 941-792-3141.

As a participant, you will learn about Habitat’s advanced construction techniques that dramatically reduce maintenance and energy costs for homeowners, while keeping construction cost low. You are asked to sign a waiver form, wear closed-toe shoes, and observe other work-place practices described in this information sheet provided by Habitat's Program Manager Barbara Slater.

Volunteers are also welcome at the home site on other Saturdays, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with advance sign up.

This Second Sunday in January is traditionally a day to remember the Baptism of the Lord and to renew one's own baptismal covenants. Everyone will be invited to renew their baptism and receive a glass pebble as a reminder of their baptism and renewal.

If you have been away from the church, if one of your New Year's resolutions is to get back to church, this is an excellent time to do so.  'Come back to church' this Sunday for this special service of spiritual renewal.

In keeping with the theme of renewal, the new classes of Elders and Deacons will be installed at this worship service, to begin their work and ministry with meetings on January 21.

The Development Director of Turning Points, Margi Dawson, will talk about their programs during Minute for Mission at the end of the service.

Following the service, there will be an informational gathering with Pastor Ted in the fellowship hall, for those who have  questions about Palma Sola Presbyterian Church, being Presbyterian, and what it means to be a member. A light lunch will be served.

Return your reply letter(s) to your Palma Sola Elementary School pen pals today in the Sanctuary lobby.

Enjoy reading, thinking about, and discussing books? Read a book and join the group for lively discussion and refreshments on the second Monday of the month. Discussions are held in the Media Center on 2^nd Ave W.; enter at the blue awning door.
