Announcements

Communion All are invited to the Lord’s table who have been baptized into a community of faith, are living at peace with God and with their brothers and  sisters in the faith, and are willing to be accountable in their congregation. Celebrating the Lord’s Supper in this manner, the church looks forward in joy and hope to the feast of the redeemed with Christ in the age to come.

T-Shirts In promotion of this year’s theme of Rediscovering the Church, the elders are making available T-shirts, free of charge, to the congregation. Order forms are available near the credenza and are due today. Completed forms can be turned in to the ballot box.

Kids Bible Class  Wednesday nights in May and June,  from 6:30pm – 7:30pm, Cindy Hunt will be teaching kids in grades 1-8 a Bible class in the commons room. The curriculum will be from Answers in Genesis entitled “The Answers Book for Kids:  22 Questions from Kids on God and the Bible”.  Kids are encouraged to bring their Bibles and learn answers to some of their questions straight from the Bible.  If you have questions please reach out to Cindy.

Membership The elders want to inform the congregation Ryan Minden has started the new member process. Please pray for him as he pursues membership at PVMC. If you have questions, please contact Pastor Jeff or one of the elders.

Vacation Bible School A sign up sheet for VBS volunteers and a list of position descriptions is available on the round table in the foyer. If you have further  questions, please contact Cindy Hunt, Becky Peachy or Allyson Chupp.

Baby Shower If you would like to host or help with a baby shower for Jordan & Heidi Miller on June 22nd, please let Blair Cilliers know!

The Christian Education Committee is looking for someone to be  a resource person for Right Now Media. Someone who stays in contact with the organization and   communicates with the congregation. If God is calling you to serve in this way, please contact Faith Slagell.

Singing Evening  is Sunday, June 2nd. Devert & Kathy Thomas, Phyllis Stutzman, Clifford Zook,  Dennis & Candace Slagell, James & Cindy Hunt are responsible for specials. If you prefer not to organize a special for the month, or have a conflict, please contact Lyndall Switzer.

Kitchen Remodel/Fellowship Hall Update Survey  The project has received the affirmation of the membership.  Now the question is “when to start?”  The first part of the answer hinges on the Fire Marshal’s approval of the plan and the  second part depends having the financial resources available to complete the plan.  When do you think the project should start?  When we have 100% of the funds or 75% of the funds?  Please complete a survey and return it by June 2nd.
