We’re celebrating with the Barron and Morrison families as they recently welcomed new members to their families:

Sarah, Juan, and Rafa Barron welcomed Amaris Rose Esperanza Barron on April 29.
~ & ~
Morgan Huffman and Tyler Morrison welcomed Noa Rae Huffman-Morrison last Sabbath, May 10.

Bonnie was a cherished member of our PVC church family along with her husband Dave. A Celebration of Life will be held at Pleasant Valley SDA Church on May 17 at 3:00 pm, followed by a reception in the Fellowship Hall. All are invited to come share memories and show your support for the Corson family.

If you would like to participate in a meal train for Dave, you can sign up at: https://mealtrain.com/qg5ql8.

Dave would also be grateful for transportation to and from church. If you'd like to sign up to provide a ride, please contact the church office. Thank you for your love and support. 

Mattie is getting married to her long-time beau Aaron Serrano this summer. Please join us in celebrating with her and showering her with recipes and love! She would love for you to share your favorite recipes. Her family will be bringing and sharing some of her favorite foods from her childhood with you! Please join us in this celebration of marriage! Have specific questions? Contact Maria Bibb via email, call or text at: 503-490-5026 or mrsbibb@gmail.com 

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. If you have an extra invitation with a name card, please send it to Miranda in the church office so it can be included in PVC’s graduation display.

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.

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.

Get together with PVC seniors for a morning hangout in the church fellowship hall. We'll provide coffee, tea, and goodies. You provide a smile and a friendly spirit! You're welcome to just relax and visit with friends, or bring your favorite puzzle or game and invite others to join in. These monthly events are meant to be a regular time of connection with your spiritual community.

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!

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.

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.

We have a church subscription to Dwell Audio Bible, a mobile-based app for your phone or tablet that lets you listen to Scripture in a variety of translation with a rich list of features, like themed playlists, kids’ devotionals, reading plans, memorize mode, and reflection options. If you join our membership, you’ll have access to all of the subscription features for the next year, and we encourage all of our PVC Fam to take this opportunity to make Scripture a part of daily life.
