Ministry Opportunities

Golf Cart Ministry The Hydro Free Fair is August 14th – 16th. Our church will be providing free golf cart rides for fair attenders to and from their  vehicles. An orange sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board for 4 carts each evening. You are responsible for your cart the entire night. If you would like to help as a relief driver, but not be in charge, there is a place for that also. Time will start around 6pm each evening and will go until the fair closes. Thanks so much for volunteering your time for this ministry. Questions? Contact Jeff Selzer.

Toddler Time has had an attendance of 6-8 kids each week since the trial period began. CEC recommends this opportunity to stay! We will need your help to make this successful. There is a sign up sheet on the bulletin board in the foyer, with a Toddler Time policy for your reference.  Please let CEC know if you have questions: Cindy Hunt, Faith Slagell, Margaret Schrock, Susan Shantz, and Echo Shantz.

Traditions Health, a local Hospice organization, is looking for volunteers. Opportunities include:

  • Office assistance: Paper work and filing
  • Bereavement Program: Mailing cards, Making phone calls
  • Patient Companionship: Sitting and visiting with patient, spending time with patient while caregiver is away, cooking dinner, building a wheelchair ramp, yard work, and many other opportunities.

Training is available. For more information visit https:/www.traditionshealth.com

The missions committee is planning two missions opportunities for this fall!  

The first one will be working at the Regional Food bank in Oklahoma City. We have a date! Saturday, September 13th 9:30-12:00. Anyone can go ages 8-on up! We will drive down from the church. All we need is a name, phone number, and email address. Interested? Let Jason Blough, Carolene Jackson, or Daryl Mast know by  August 10th.

The second opportunity is working at the Hope and Redemption Ranch. Ralph & Bonnie have been with us several times. Their most recent newsletter is under the mailboxes. Feel free to look at it. The ranch is located in Kirtland, NM. We will drive there which will take one day, and one day back. We hope to work and sightsee for part of one day for 4 days. We are looking at tentative dates of October 10th -20th. Please let Carolene & Bill Jackson know if you are interested and what dates would work best for you. Several of you also signed up to help plan and do fund  raisers for mission trips. Let us know how you would like to help. Blessings to us all as we  further the Lord’s kingdom in our daily lives locally, in the United States, and around the world.

The Kitchen Remodel Project is completed! The  Fellowship Hall, kitchen and gym availability dates are unknown as we wait for inspection and final approval. Coffee is available again Sunday mornings in the Breezeway.

Amani Community Church Sunday, July 20th,  the Paradizo Choir of Wichita, KS joined us for worship. The choir put on a concert to benefit the Amani Community Church and their goal to purchase a building. Amani Community Church deeply desires to have their own church home, a place of permanence that would communicate their intention to be a church for African immigrants for generations to come. To partner with Amani, checks can be made out to Pleasant View Mennonite Church with a note in the memo  designating the funds to Amani Building Fund.

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

Supplies Needed CEC needs empty paper towel rolls for the group Sunday school  lessons in August. If you have some to dispose of, please bring them by the church.

“Pray for Our Future” A new bulletin board has been added to the breezeway between buildings. It is the vision of CEC to use this space as an encouragement to pray over the children and students of PVMC. The names of the children are posted to the bulletin board. Parents are invited to add a picture and share interests and activities of the child. If you would like help printing a picture, send a digital copy to pvmc.office@gmail.com or contact Faith Slagell.

Run for Hope is September 6th! Run for Hope is an event to remember, honor and celebrate those who lost their lives to addiction. This year, PVMC is again helping sponsor this event which is connected to HIA and Finding Hope. There is a flyer in the foyer explaining how to sign up to run/walk, honor a loved one or volunteer.
