Important Update This month we will be transitioning away from our current Text-Em-All system and will begin using our new Amplify platform. General announcements including church service cancellations will be sent through our church app. More personal announcements like prayer requests will be sent via text/call. Please download PVMC’s app so you can stay informed. Instructions for downloading the app can be found in any adult Sunday school classroom and are posted to the bulletin board in the foyer. Questions related to the app or the mass communication transition process can be directed to the church office.

Wider Church Affiliation Vote is scheduled for January 25th  This vote will direct the elders to pursue affiliation with either FEC (Fellowship of Evangelical Churches) or LMC (formerly known as Lancaster Mennonite Conference), both of whom have distinct onboarding processes for potential member churches. Absentee ballots are available and are due at the time of the vote which will take place during the morning worship service next Sunday, January 25th. To learn more about FEC and LMC, please go to their websites. If you have a specific question that you can’t find on their website please let Pastor Jeff know and he’ll contact a representative from that organization. QR codes have been generated to help you access the websites. Continue to keep our discernment process in your prayers as we seek to discover the organization God has called us to affiliate with.

LMC- A Fellowship of Anabaptist Churches https://lmcchurches.org/

Membership The elders want to inform the congregation Larry White 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.

Free Stuff Help yourself to anything on the table in the South hallway and art work that is lined up against the wall. Whatever remains today will go to the Et Cetera Shops.

The Thomas Looming group made and distributed 950 hats during the year 2025. You all helped to contribute to buying the supplies. See listing of where they went on the bulletin board.

Singing Evening is Sunday, February 1st. Stephen & Dori Slagell, Daryl Mast, Brent & Susan Taggart, and Devert & Kathy Thomas are responsible for specials. If you prefer not to organize a special for the month, or have a conflict, please contact Bill Jackson.

Wedding Shower Help us celebrate the marriage of Destiny and Dakota Miller and shower them with gifts. The shower will be Saturday, February 7th, at 3 PM in the home of Stenson & Amanda Miller. The couple is registered at Amazon, Walmart, and Dillard’s. Both men & women are invited to attend!

Comforter Blitz The annual Comforter Blitz is just over 5 weeks away. Brochures are now available. Currently looking for someone to oversee the food part of the Blitz. Good food goes a long way in a fellowship oriented event. If you are interested, please visit with Delvin Mast.

Spring Break Service Trip Opportunity! We have the opportunity to go to Waco, TX over Spring Break to serve with World Hunger Relief as they strive to alleviate hunger in their community through sustainable agriculture, education and research. They have a variety of ways we can help them including fence repair, construction, small welding and equipment repair projects, demo of unusable structures, and general farm infrastructure improvements. There will be options for all ages and abilities! The group will be traveling to Waco on Sunday, March 15th, serving on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and returning on Thursday March 19th. Do you have some skills and time you can share with them? Contact Tonia Martin if you have any questions and sign the interest sheet on the bulletin board if you are interested in joining this adventure!
