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.

Sunday, February 23 at 7:00 pm • PVC’s Fellowship Hall (Rm 10)
You were meant to live free from bitterness, resentment, and hurt from past wounds. Come learn how! As part of our series on living "unburdened" -- forgiven and forgiving -- Pastor Kessia Reyne will be sharing with you a healing process that has blessed her and allowed her to release the hurt from other people's offenses and walk in the full freedom of forgiveness. You are encouraged to bring a spiritual companion, close friend, or spouse with you.

This is to notify the constituency of Portland Adventist Academy that the annual Constituency meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 25th, 2025 at 7:00 pm, at PAA. Your church will be sharing the Agenda, Meeting Minutes, and any meeting documents with delegates ahead of the meeting date.

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.
This program is for anyone who finds him or herself in the grip of unhealthy dependence upon substances or other destructive behaviors. Journey to Wholeness assists participants in addressing an unlimited number of problems, traveling as individuals who are committed to health, healing, sanity, and serenity. It is built around small group interaction and the principle that people can achieve together what they cannot accomplish alone. Participants will discover that solutions lie in relying in God’s power manifested in the wisdom and strength of numbers rather than unaided human “will” or “willpower.”

“Thank you to all those who have called me and talked, given me cards and a lot of love and prayers! I seem to be holding my own and God is my guiding light!”

"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.
