New Church Websites!
This week, we're excited to announce our new church website has launched! Same address! www.perdidobay.church
Another exciting new avenue of communication to our community is christmasinperdido.com - a website built to use as a community invitation to the celebrations and events offered the Christmas season!
And as you may have heard last week, our new church app is ready! Download today! This will be a simple way to access many helpful aspects of church communication! You can find it by searching Perdido Bay Methodist Church on the Apple App store or Google Play (this is a separate app from the church directory).
Coming soon is a new church channel on Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV! More info to come!

We will fly to Greece as a group, and travel by motor coach through the same cities that Paul visited. Currently, 30 people are registered for the trip so come join us!

December Bed Build: It's sign-up time!
Sunday, December 6, 10:00am-2:00pm
Step away from the busyness of the season, setting aside just a couple hours to do something that could greatly improve a child's life! Sleep in Heavenly Peace exists so that "no kid sleeps on the floor in our town!" We were rained out last time, but it's time to try again! We need many volunteers to sign up to help us meet our goal of building 40 beds. There is a job for everyone and everything needed is provided! Please consider signing up on the link and let's make this last build of the year a huge success!
We also need six volunteers to help unload the truck, back at the warehouse, at the end of the bed build, if that timeframe works better for you! Email renee@perdidobay.church if you'd like to be on the warehouse team!
*If you signed up for the rained out Bed Build, you do need to sign up again below (please!).
