Youth Fundraisers MYF is planning a missions trip to Costa Rica in July! It will be a 10-day trip filled with training, serving, and exploring. We are looking to raise funds and would love to help out with any projects around/in your home and yard in return for a donation. Let Chelsea Villines or Monica Miller know what project you have in mind and we can help you find a date that will work for us all to help you.

Kitchen Project Vote Results  94 ballots were received and the motion was affirmed by 81%. Thank you for participating in the vote. We will begin the  remodel in just a few short months!

Kiran Paul’s daughter Grace is in her final semester of undergraduate school where she is majoring in Computer Science.  PVMC has supported her tuition for the previous 3.5 yrs and now her tuition for her final semester of school is due. $3,400.00 is needed yet to meet her needs.  If you would like to contribute to Grace’s final semester of school, make your check out to PVMC and making note in the memo line specifically for Grace’s tuition.

Membership Update  John and Sarah Slagell have requested their membership be transferred from PVMC to the First Baptist Church of Hydro where they have been attending the last few years.  We pray God’s blessings upon them as they join the membership at the First Baptist Church of Hydro.
