House to Home Supply Drive
Mar 22 – Mar 31 all-day

In an effort to support the work of our House to Home Team, we are hosting a household supply drive.  If you have a passion for helping provide support and hope to families who have faced unimaginable challenges, select items you’d like to donate from our “Wish Wall” located on the far east side of the Gathering Space or visit our Amazon Wish List. 

 

We are also in need of larger donations such as; end tables, dressers, kitchen tables, etc.  If you have larger items to donate, please contact Brandi prior to dropping them off.  Due to limited storage space and specific criteria, furniture must be approved before being brought to the church. 

 

Approved donations can be dropped off in the donation bins in the Gathering Space on Sunday mornings OR at our drive-thru drop-off on March 11 in the lower south parking lot between 10-12.   

 

If you have questions, please contact Brandi Molina, director of Missions for more information.

 

Pine Ridge Dress & Suit Collection
Mar 22 – Mar 26 all-day
Prom is a super special time for the youth in Pine Ridge. By donating formal wear to the BEAR Project, we are helping students to look and feel their best. Each year, this program services over 300 students annually from Pine Ridge High School, Red Cloud, Porcupine, Allen, Wounded Knee, and other schools surrounding Pine Ridge. During Prom season, the Bear Program Boutique is open extended hours to accommodate the needs of students attending prom so no student in need will go without.

 

Each year, Platte Woods Church partners with the Pine Ridge BEAR Program to collect donations to support their “Yes to the Dress, Woot Woot to the Suit”. If you have prom dresses, suits, or dress clothing in great shape that you would like to donate to teens in Pine Ridge, you can drop it off in the donation rack in the far east wall of the Gathering Space anytime between now and Sunday, March 26th.

Women’s Bible Study
Mar 28 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am
“Are you facing a problem that you can’t fix, no matter what you do? Are you disappointed by unchanging circumstances? Perhaps you have heard the phrase, ‘Let go and let God,’ which suggests that surrender is God’s path to peace for your life. It may be true, but it’s easier said than done.

 

In this seven-week Bible study, you’ll learn how to let go by exploring Jesus’ time in the wilderness. As you look to his example, you’ll discover six principles that will equip you to let God lead you to victory as you deal with the problems and pain you are facing. This study will equip you to give up control, reach for God, let go of fear, and experience the blessings of the surrendered life.”

 

Come join our next study, “Surrendered,” by Barb Roose. We will meet every Tuesday morning from 10:00 – 11:30, February 28 – April 18, in room 251. Hope to see you there!
