Pastor's Desk.............

Dear Friends,

One of the best compliments for our church came from a man who
had fellowshipped with us for several months before coming to me
with what he thought would make a great slogan for our church.  He
said, Pleasant Ridge is a church of:
                "Loving people - Who love people!"

We try hard to exemplify a people who truly love the Lord and love
one another.  We are far from perfect, but we know a perfect God
who is real and personal.  He has forgiven our sins, past, present and
future.  Though he knows us better than we know ourselves, he
loves us still.  And he allows us the privilege of service with him in his
kingdom work.  For that and more, we gladly offer him praise!

We have:  No coffee house, but a friendly gathering place with plenty
of good eats and coffee!  No gymnasium, but plenty of room to
exercise your faith!  No multi-million dollar facility, but a house of
worshippers seeking God's will and purpose.  No dress code, just a
come-as-you-are atmosphere encouraging personal and corporate
worship.

We would love for those of you looking for God or looking for a
friendly church, to come and visit with us!  We promise to do our
best to make you feel
Welcome and at home!

Because He Lives....
