2025 Annual Business Meeting The annual business meeting is set for Sunday, January 26th. The meeting is open to anyone who wants to learn more about PVMC. A list of committees with terms ending in 2024 and are open for nomination has been posted to the bulletin board in the foyer. If you are interested in serving, please contact someone on a committee and let them know. Committees are asked to begin collecting financial reports and 2025 budgets.

Addition to the Approved Giving List The elders have added Anistemi to PVMC’s approved giving list. The word Anistemi means “to raise up”. Anistemi’s desire is to provide opportunities through education, skill building, microlending and relationship that may allow the people in the communities they serve to raise themselves up and out of poverty. Anistemi is active in Uganda, Kenya and the Congo. To learn more go to anistemicorp.com.
Missing Book Book #1 of the My Bible Friends series by Etta B. Degering is missing from the children’s portion of library. If you are finished enjoying this book, please return it for others to read. Thank you!
