The March 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.

Communion All are invited to the Lord’s table who have been baptized into a community of faith, are living at peace with God and with their brothers and  sisters in the faith, and are willing to be accountable in their congregation. Celebrating the Lord’s Supper in this manner, the church looks forward in joy and hope to the feast of the redeemed with Christ in the age to come. Thank you to Kathie Switzer for providing the bread for communion today. 

Comforter Blitz Come join the fun as we work together to make warm blankets that will be sent overseas to provide warmth and comfort to people displaced by war or those recovering from natural disasters. This 3 day event starts Thursday at 9 am. Come for an hour, or the whole day. Meals and refreshments will be provided as well as instructions if you are uncertain how to do it. Set up will happen Wednesday and help would be appreciated Wed. evening to pin in the first comforters.  See you there!

Affiliation Survey The wider church affiliation vote on Feb. 8th didn’t reveal a clear direction forward.  As a part of our ongoing pursuit of God’s will for us, the elders would like everyone to complete a brief six question survey (three multiple choice, three short answer). You are encouraged to complete the survey online using the QR code or the link on the church app, however paper copies are also available on the credenza. Surveys are due after morning worship, next Sunday, March 1st. Completed   paper copy surveys can be placed in the box by the credenza. https://40338.people.myamplify.io/external/form/85ad9019-f53a-444e-9fd8-78e60ea99794

Singing Evening is next Sunday, March 1st. Daryl Mast, Monica Miller, Jason & Brittney Miller, Freeman & Margaret Schrock and Tim & Kinzie Haley are responsible for specials. If you prefer not to organize a special for the month, or have a conflict, please  contact Luke Knisley.

The agenda is as follows: Review and approve minutes from the Annual Meeting Feb. 8th, Share financials for the Student Aid Committee and the Youth, Question: How does everyone feel about posting prayer requests, birthdays and anniversaries online?, Share affiliation survey results and Pastor Jeff’s sabbatical.

How Does God Relate in My Life Today? Women of PVMC are invited to join Sherry Corrigan and Lekea Koehn during the Sunday school hour in Room 102. They are facilitating an 8-week Bible study exploring how God’s Word speaks into our everyday lives, our relationships and the challenges we face right now.

Do You Enjoy Bible Stories and Playtime? Great news! PVMC’s youngest attenders do too!

New Member Recommendation Micheal & Carly Barnes have completed new member classes, as outlined in the PVMC constitution.
