Minutes from the March 1st Members meeting have been posted to the bulletin board in the foyer for review.

Comforter Blitz A big thank you to everyone that participated in the Comforter Blitz!! 205 comforters were tied and a lot of good fellowship occurred as well. There are still 95 comforters that need to be taken to Newton, let Delvin  Mast know if you are going that way and could take some more.  Until they all find a way to KS, many of them still need binding if you are able to do that.

Wedding Shower Please join us in celebrating Erin Slagell and Max Murphy in anticipation of their upcoming wedding. The shower will be April 19th at 2:30 PM in the home of Dennis & Candace Slagell. The couple are registered at Amazon, Dillard’s and Sur La Table.

Do You Enjoy Bible Stories and Playtime? Great news! PVMC’s youngest attenders do too! Check out the Toddler Time sign-up sheet posted to the bulletin board in the foyer to volunteer. 2 adults are needed each Sunday morning during a portion of the worship service. Reach out to a member of CEC to find out more information: Cindy Hunt, Susan Shantz, Echo Shantz, Karl    Stutzman and Martha Miller.

Membership The elders want to inform the congregation that Larry White, Kathryn Steigman and Eddie Schantz have started the new member process. Please pray for them as they pursue membership at PVMC. If you have questions, please contact  Pastor Jeff or one of the elders.
