The December 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.

Elder Selection Results 75 ballots were cast in the elder selection vote and Travis Chupp and Michael Steigman were affirmed in their willingness to serve as elders starting January 1, 2026. 

The Missions Committee is hosting a time with John Norris from Global Partners Dec. 6th at 7 PM in the church conference room for those who would like to learn more about this ministry. Global Partners will be highlighted in a Missions Moment led by John during worship on Dec. 7th.

Singing Evening There will be no Singing Evening December 7th, instead come enjoy a Christmas Program put on by the children of PVMC.

All Angel Tree gifts are due back to the church by December 7th. Please wrap gifts in 2 boxes per angel. Write Your name on the provided form next to the Angels you picked.

Missions Survey The Missions committee wants to hear how the congregation values the work of the ministries we currently support through our budget. The survey results will influence how the committee allocates the PVMC mission funds for 2026. Paper copy surveys are available in your church mailbox or from the credenza. Digital forms have been sent out via the text-em-all system. All surveys are due on Dec. 7th some the results can be tabulated in time for the Dec. 10th Missions meeting.

SALT Event Ladies, please join us on Dec 13th for supper and fellowship starting at 6pm. Please sign up under the mailboxes and include the number of any guests you will be bringing. Ellen Jensen will be sharing a quick reminder for us about the Christmas Season. If you have questions please ask Jordan Nel or another member of SALT.

Community Opportunity PVMC has been asked to sing at Maple Lawn Manor’s Christmas Program Thursday, December 18th at 1 PM. The residents enjoy guests of all ages, but especially little kids. Contact Kathie Switzer if you or your family can participate.

Wider Church Affiliations The elders have a timeline for the first step of discerning PVMC’s wider church relations. There will be a vote on Dec. 21st narrowing the options from 3 to 2. Absentee ballots will be available Dec. 14th. The three affiliation options are FEC (Fellowship of Evangelical Churches), MB (Mennonite Brethren) and LMC (formerly known as Lancaster Mennonite Conference). PVMC is currently a provisional member of the South Central District of LMC until the summer of 2026. Please pray for God’s direction as we seek wider church affiliations.

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service Each year on Christmas Eve, we gather to commemorate the birth of Christ through song, the reading of scripture and an impromptu reenactment of the events chronicled in scripture. If you would like to be a part of this service please contact Pastor Jeff.

2026 Annual Business Meeting The annual business meeting is set for Sunday, January 25th. A list of committees with terms ending in 2025 and are open for nomination has been posted to the bulletin board in the foyer.

Have you heard?  PVMC has an app!

Our new app is now live and available for download today! As we  begin transitioning away from our current Text-Em-All service provider, this app will become a helpful way for us to communicate time-sensitive announcements, changes in schedules and much more.

First: Update your email address into our new

database by following this link: https://40338.people.myamplify.io/external/form/96587119-9ae4-404d-985c-12936d9f9c30

Then:

• Visit your app store and search for “My Church Home”
• After downloading, open the app, Type in “Pleasant View Mennonite Church” and click “Find Your Church” (You will recognize our logo, address and mission statement.)
• Click “Allow” to enable notifications

A guide with further aid in accessing the app on your device and highlighting some of the features currently available can be found in each Adult Sunday school classroom and is posted to the bulletin board in the foyer.

Please reach out to Amanda at the church office with any questions.
