Elder Selection The elder candidates will meet this Wednesday at 7:30 PM in the  sanctuary to share their individual discernment and then create a slate for the membership to vote on. Continue to pray for God’s direction in our elder selection process.

Prayer Opportunity Global Disciples is hosting a prayer meeting via zoom for ministries they are involved with that cannot be reported on publicly because of security reasons on the third Friday of each month from 8 to 9 AM through December. This is an opportunity to be involved in God’s work among the unreached without having to leave your home! Contact Daryl Mast for the link to the meetings.

Singing Evening is Sunday, November 1st. Virgil & Meribeth Slagell, Lyndall & Kathie Switzer, Tim & Angela Stutzman, and Michael & Faith Slagell  are responsible for specials. If you prefer not to organize a special for the month, or have a conflict, please contact Luke Knisely.

Membership The elders want to inform the congregation Ryan Minden 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.

Internal Church Documents — New Location An additional literature rack has been installed outside of the secretary’s office. This location will house PVMC’s internal  documents and forms such as: Monthly Financial Reports, Daily Bible Reading guide and Prayer calendars, Congregational Survey Results, etc.

Note: Newsletters, devotional reading materials and Mission support information will remain available in the original literature rack near the mailboxes.

 

Day in the Country Preparations

We are collecting candy and small prizes to distribute at Day in the Country,  October 31st. If you would like to contribute, please place  donations in the box located in the foyer. Thank you!

We need help with the Day in the Country Bake Sale!

BAKERS – we need lots of baked goods and would like to have more specific “Fall type” baked goods like cinnamon rolls, pumpkin rolls, pies, 3 layer cakes, homemade bread or rolls as these items seem to sell the best. There will be a sign up sheet in the foyer.

HELPERS – we need helpers the night before, early morning and during the event working an hour or so in the booth. Contact Beth (580-302-0213) if you’re willing to help or have questions. Thank you!
