The December Daily Bible Reading guide & Prayer calendar is available in the literature rack. You may also access it @ pvmcok.org under the resources tab or within our app.

Elder Selection Results 75 ballots were cast in the elder selection vote and Travis Chupp and Michael Steigman were affirmed in their willingness to serve as elders starting January 1, 2026. 

Missions Survey The Missions committee wants to hear how the congregation values the work of the ministries we currently support through our budget. The survey results will influence how the committee allocates the PVMC mission funds for 2026. Paper copy surveys are available in your church mailbox or from the credenza. Digital forms have been sent out via the text-em-all system. All surveys are due today so the results can be tabulated in time for the Dec. 10th Missions meeting.

Mini Blitz There are 4 comforters that need to be tied to take to the Weatherford Transitional Living guys with their Christmas celebration. Come join in the effort Tuesday evening, December 9th at 6 pm.

SALT Event Ladies, please join us on Saturday, Dec 13th for supper and fellowship starting at 6pm. Please sign up under the mailboxes and include the number of any guests you will be bringing. Ellen Jensen will be sharing a quick reminder for us about the Christmas Season. If you have questions please ask Jordan Nel or another member of SALT.

Community Opportunity PVMC has been asked to sing at Maple Lawn Manor’s Christmas Program Thursday, December 18th at 1 PM. The residents enjoy guests of all ages, but especially little kids. Contact Kathie Switzer if you or your family can participate.

Wider Church Affiliations The elders have a timeline for the first step of discerning PVMC’s wider church relations. There will be a vote on Dec. 21st narrowing the options from 3 to 2. Absentee ballots will be available Dec. 14th. The three affiliation options are FEC (Fellowship of Evangelical Churches), MB (Mennonite Brethren) and LMC (formerly known as Lancaster Mennonite Conference). PVMC is currently a provisional member of the South Central District of LMC until the summer of 2026. Please pray for God’s direction as we seek wider church affiliations.

Christmas at Weatherford Transitional Living Program Home is Dec. 22nd This is an opportunity to show love to some young men who have rarely known love. There is a sign up in the foyer for food, snacks and small gifts for the guys. In  addition to donations, consider giving of your time and join the event and bless the guys with your presence. Contact Kathie Switzer or Pastor Jeff if you have any questions.

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at 8 PM If you haven’t already, I invite you to add attending the Christmas Eve service to your annual celebration of Christmas. This is a casual, family and guest friendly event. We’ll sing Christmas carols, hear the Christmas story from the Bible, light candles and some of you will even have opportunity to be  impromptu actors in one of the most important events in  human history, the birth of Jesus. I look forward to seeing you there! Pastor Jeff

2026 Annual Business Meeting The annual business meeting is set for Sunday, January 25th. A list of committees with terms ending in 2025 and are open for nomination has been posted to the bulletin board in the foyer.

Have you heard?  PVMC has an app!

Our new app is now live and available for download today! As we  begin transitioning away from our current Text-Em-All service provider, this app will become a helpful way for us to communicate time-sensitive announcements, changes in schedules and much more.

First: Update your email address into our new

database by following this link: https://40338.people.myamplify.io/external/form/96587119-9ae4-404d-985c-12936d9f9c30

Then:

• Visit your app store and search for “My Church Home”
• After downloading, open the app, Type in “Pleasant View Mennonite Church” and click “Find Your Church” (You will recognize our logo, address and mission statement.)
• Click “Allow” to enable notifications

A guide with further aid in accessing the app on your device and highlighting some of the features currently available can be found in each Adult Sunday school classroom and is posted to the bulletin board in the foyer.

Please reach out to Amanda at the church office with any questions.
