Announcements

Construction  Due to the Kitchen Remodel Project, the Fellowship Hall, kitchen and gym will be unavailable May 19th – July 19th. There will not be ice available during this time.  Coffee will not be served Sunday mornings until construction has been completed.

Ministry Opportunity Toddler Time has had an attendance of 6-8 kids each week since the trial period began. CEC recommends this opportunity to stay! We will need your help to make this successful. There is a sign up sheet on the bulletin board in the foyer, with a Toddler Time policy for your reference.  Please let CEC know if you have questions: Cindy Hunt, Faith Slagell, Margaret Schrock, Susan Shantz, and Echo Shantz.

Fiesta! Let’s Celebrate! Vacation Bible School begins tomorrow! If you would like to volunteer, please contact one of the VBS committee members. We have     opportunities for everyone! Allison Chupp, Becky Peachy, & Dana Selzer

Do you have any of these? We are looking for items to decorate with during Vacation Bible School. Our theme is ‘Fiesta!’ If you have things like Southwest style blankets, cacti, sombreros, etc., please consider sharing for the week of VBS. You can contact Allison Chupp, Becky Peachy or Dana Selzer with questions.

Library Additions The library has a brand new set of Sight and Sound DVDs: Noah, Joseph, Moses, Ruth, and Jonah. There is also a new set of Veggie Tales DVDs. Find them in the library’s new location, next to the stairwell in the South Building.

“Pray for Our Future” A new bulletin board has been added to the breezeway between buildings. It is the vision of CEC to use this space as an encouragement to pray over the children and students of PVMC. The names of the children are posted to the bulletin board. Parents are invited to add a picture and share    interests and activities of the child. If you would like help printing a picture, send a digital copy to pvmc.office@gmail.com or contact Faith Slagell.

Dear PVMC Family,

Your prayers, food, cards and thoughtful words meant so very much to each of us during the loss of our mother, Bertha. Your support and care meant so much! 

The Bertha Miller Family
