Care for our Pastor Today is Pastor Jeff’s quarterly weekend away. Thank you to Kevin Martin for filling the pulpit this Sunday!

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 Candace Slagell for providing the bread for communion today.

BOYS CLUB is back! The young men of PVMC deserve the best we can offer them for spiritual growth, mentorship and fellowship. So we are bringing back the Boys Club here at PVMC as a fun way to get the boys and men of the congregation together a few times a year to enjoy fellowship and activities, and to foster relationship building and mentorship for the young men here. Our first event will be a fishing trip/cookout on  Friday, May 22nd from 5:30-9 PM. There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board in the foyer. Boys 12 and  older can be dropped off and picked up here at PVMC, boys under 12 can attend with their fathers or a guardian. All men are invited! So come join us, and let’s help each other build up our future leaders!

Lost & Found Please take a moment to check the table setup in the breezeway to claim any items that may belong to you. Whatever remains will be disposed of Monday, May  25th.

Bible Memory Camp Info Elementary & Jr High camp begins Saturday, May 30th. Campers that have registered have received a packing list in their church mailboxes. There will be a short meeting next Sunday, May 24th after the worship service to finalize travel plans. Questions? Reach out to Martha Miller. 

Wedding Shower Please join us in celebrating the upcoming marriage of Erika Stutzman and Ryan Minden as we shower them with gifts and love on Sunday, May 31st. We will gather in the Fellowship Hall for a meal following the worship service. Each household is asked to bring a favorite main dish or side dish. The wedding shower hostesses will provide the desserts. If you would like to help host, please contact Jordan Nel. The couple are registered at Target and Amazon.

New Member Recommendations Larry White and Jacob & Kathryn Steigman have all completed new member classes as outlined in the PVMC constitution. The elders recommend all of them for membership and anticipate bringing Jacob & Kathryn Steigman into the membership on June 14th with Kathryn planning to be rebaptized at Church in the Canyon, June 21st. Larry White is currently in Louisiana with his mother who is battling cancer. A day to receive Larry White into the membership has not yet been scheduled.

God’s Love is Extreme! Vacation Bible School is planned for July 13th – 16th. If you would like to volunteer, please contact a member of the VBS Committee: Ally Chupp, Angel  Miller or Dana Selzer. We have opportunities for everyone!

Day in the Country In the past this has been a good community and fund raising event. We did not have Day in the Country last year and want to see if there is someone who would like to spearhead a Day in the Country this year. If this is something God is calling you to or if you would like more information about what is involved, please contact the church office.
