Tithes and Offerings can be placed in the offering plates at the back of the sanctuary before Sunday morning worship and anytime in the black box outside of the secretary’s office labeled “Tithes and Offerings and Prayer Cards.”

The September 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.

New Treasurer’s Mailbox We are pleased to announce the addition of a Treasurer’s Mailbox for our members’ convenience! Members may use the mailbox to submit: receipts, completed vouchers and other treasurer-related items. The Treasurer’s Mailbox is located at the bottom right of the existing  mailbox cabinet (under the Secretary and Pastor mailboxes). Blank vouchers and cash envelopes have been moved to the drawer directly below the new Treasurer’s Mailbox.

Constitutional Review Every five years the church’s constitution is reviewed. The constitution is scheduled for review in 2027 so the elders are starting the process now in hopes that any changes can be ready for the membership’s discernment before the 2027 annual business meeting. The elders have appointed a five member Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) facilitated by Travis Chupp. The other four CRC members are Delvin Mast, Bonnie Vanderwork, Regina Miller and Pastor Jeff. If you have suggestions for PVMC’s constitution, please let one of the CRC members know.

Addition to PVMC’s Approved Giving List On Wednesday, August 19th the    elders approved the addition of the Boys Club to PVMC’s approved giving list. If you would like to contribute to the work of the Boys Club simply note “Boys Club” on the envelope containing your cash contribution or write your check out to PVMC and include “Boys Club” on the memo line.

CEC Needs Your Help! As we begin a new term, we are in need of a Sunday School helper for grades 1-2. For Wednesday nights we are looking for 2 leaders to be responsible for teaching verse memorization.  If you are available, please contact a member of the Christian Education Committee: Cindy Hunt, Martha Miller, Echo Shantz, Susan Shantz, or Karl Stutzman.

Parents — Mark Your Calendars! Imprint: Parenting in Every Season featuring retreat speaker, Gay B. Brown, is an event for parents being hosted here @PVMC September 11th-12th. Check out  the bulletin board flyer and sign up sheet. More details will be announced as the event approaches.

Tea Time! Some of the ladies of our church would love to host a tea party for the girls of the church! Beth has graciously offered her barn and her tea party expertise, but we need volunteers to help host, provide refreshments, and make the event special.
