2026 Annual Meeting Fundraiser Meal The PVMC youth group is excited to provide a donation luncheon today before the Annual Meeting. They will be serving haystacks (can also have wraps too!) plus Oreo fluff for dessert. There are gluten free options available. The meal is by donation to help the youth fund. Thank you! The Annual Meeting is Today A list of committees open for nomination has been posted to the bulletin board in the foyer. The elders have received the 2026 budgetary needs for the committees and have met with the treasurer to assess available funds for the 2026 budget. Thanks to your generous giving, the elders are recommending a budget of $474,743.26. The budget breakdown is as follows: Elders: $130,100; CEC: $23,000 ; SALT: $20,000 ; Trustees: $143,310.33; and Missions: $158,332.93. Annual Meeting Agenda

Wider Church Affiliation Vote is Today This vote will direct the elders to pursue affiliation with either FEC (Fellowship of Evangelical Churches) or LMC (formerly known as Lancaster Mennonite Conference), both of whom have distinct onboarding processes for potential member churches. Absentee ballots are available and are due at the time of the vote which will take place during this morning’s worship service.
The February 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.
Membership The elders want to inform the congregation that Larry White and Micheal & Carly Barnes 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.
Wedding Shower Help us celebrate the marriage of Destiny and Dakota Miller and shower them with gifts. The shower will be Saturday, February 7th, at 3 PM in the home of Stenson & Amanda Miller. The couple is registered at Amazon, Walmart, and Dillard’s. Both men & women are invited to attend!
Comforter Blitz The annual Comforter Blitz is just a few weeks away. Brochures are now available. Currently looking for someone to oversee the food part of the Blitz. Good food goes a long way in a fellowship oriented event. If you are interested, please visit with Delvin Mast.
Spring Break Service Trip Opportunity! We have the opportunity to go to Waco, TX over Spring Break to serve with World Hunger Relief as they strive to alleviate hunger in their community through sustainable agriculture, education and research. They have a variety of ways we can help them including fence repair, construction, small welding and equipment repair projects, demo of unusable structures, and general farm infrastructure improvements. There will be options for all ages and abilities! The group will be traveling to Waco on Sunday, March 15th, serving on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and returning on Thursday March 19th. Do you have some skills and time you can share with them? Contact Tonia Martin if you have any questions and sign the interest sheet on the bulletin board if you are interested in joining this adventure!
