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.”

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who represented PVMC at the Hydro Free Fair by shuttling people from their vehicles to the fair grounds and back. This is one way in which our church tries to serve our community.

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 teacher and a helper for grades 1-2. For Wednesday nights we are looking for an assembly time leader for grades 3–8, which consist of leading a Bible study on John 3:14-21. We also need leaders and helpers for PreK/Kinder, grades 3-5, and grades 6-8. Wednesday leaders will be responsible for teaching verse memorization and the helpers will assist and listen to kids recite verses. 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.
