One of our members lost their keys during 1st service on April 19. There is a bright pink kitty on the ring. If you’ve seen a set of keys somewhere at PVC, please let the office know at 503/658-2248.

Join us for potluck on May 3 after 2nd service, hosted by the Abundance and Berean classes. The theme is Asian/Islander, but all foods are welcome. 😊

Enjoy a day at the Oregon Coast with your fellow PVC Super Seniors! We'll meet at PVC at 9:00 AM and caravan over to beautiful Cannon Beach. We'll enjoy some time on the beach near Haystack Rock (weather permitting), have lunch at Pelican Brewing, and then have some time for shopping in town or enjoying the scenery at Ecola State Park before heading back home. We'll plan to arrive back at PVC between 5:00 and 6:00 PM. Carpooling is encouraged, and we'll help arrange transportation for those who need a ride!

Cost: There is no charge, because we want everyone to be able to participate! For those who are able, a donation of $25 per person will help to cover the cost of lunch. Mark your tithe envelope "Senior Ministry" and place in an offering box.

STUDENT AID APPLICATIONS are now being accepted for tuition assistance for the 2025-2026 school-year. Contact the church office at 503/658-2248 or office@pvclife.com to request an application packet. Applications must be submitted to the church office by Wednesday, May 14 in order to be considered for the upcoming school year.

Faith was never meant to be a solo journey, and every single one of us needs an earthly friend as a companion in the light.  Consider joining or starting a "micro-group": a group of 2-4 people living in the light together, practicing reading Scripture, prayer, and honesty, and meeting once a week.

You can choose your own group members. If you want to join a group and have no one to invite, we can try to link you up with an existing group or someone else looking for a partner. Visit pvclife.com/groups for more information.

Twyla Schneider, one of PVC’s founding members and sister to Matthew Schneider, passed away on March 25. Pray for God’s ministry of comfort for Twyla’s friends and family.

WE ARE CELEBRATING GRADUATES! Are you or someone in your family graduating? Please let us know the name of the graduate, school and grade (8th, high school, college, masters, doctorate, etc.) by contacting the church office at 503/658- 2248 or office@pvclife.com.

PVC’s annual Summer camp-out will not be taking place this year due to maintenance closures at Fort Stevens. We hope you’ll plan to join us for a Summer Camp-out in 2026!

Are you looking for more support in your journey to living free? Maybe you're working through the process of reckoning and release that we've been talking about in our Unburdened series and the Releasing Bitterness seminar. Perhaps you've lost a loved one through death or divorce, and you'd like support in your journey. Or maybe you've been wrestling with an unhealthy dependency upon substances or other destructive behaviors. Did you know that PVC has a weekly 12-step recovery group meeting called Journey to Wholeness?

 Journey to Wholeness is a support system for people of any faith (or lack thereof) who are struggling with things that are hurting them or the people they love. It presents a 12-step model for understanding God and ourselves as God’s creation.

Come on Thursday nights at 7:00 PM and you'll find a safe and anonymous group of individuals who are committed to health, healing, sanity, and serenity. We hope you'll join us on the Journey to Wholeness!

"We've got a lot of new books that have just been donated," reports our Book Cart librarian, Rit Kunau. You're encouraged to find a book that might bless you and take it home with you. Bring it back when you're ready for the next person to read it. There are books for adults and for children.

Prayer Warriors support the church through prayer, interceding, or earnestly asking for God's will to be done, for others. If you are interested in being a part of the Prayer Warriors group, please contact Charles Oroko at charles.oroko@outlook.com, or contact the church office.
