“Sweeter Sounds than music knows charm me in Immanuel’s name; All her hopes my spirit owes to his birth, and cross, and shame. When he came, the angels sung, ‘Glory be to God on high;’ Lord, unloose my stamm’ring tongue, who should louder sing than I? Did the Lord a man become, that he might the law fulfill, Bleed and suffer in my room, and canst thou, my tongue, be still? No, I must my praises bring, though they worthless are and weak; For should I refuse to sing, sure the very stones would speak.” -John Newton Sunday School at 9:00am – Worship at 10:15am 1355 Douglass Road – Huntsville, AL – Calendar of Events from  December 19- Date Night/Youth Christmas Party  December 24- Christmas Eve Service 6:00pm  December 28- No Sunday School  January 3- Men’s Prayer Breakfast at PBC  January 4- No Sunday School  January 7- K Groups resume  January st Quarter Sunday School Begins  January 17-Youth Disciple Now Weekend  January 18- Sanctity of Life Sunday (Child Dedication)  January 22- Pacific Rim Team from PBC Leaves Keep praying for those in missions this holiday season.
