DWELL WITH PVC

Meditate on God's Word with PVC - Start a "Bible-in-a-Year" Reading Plan!

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.

NEW CHURCH BOARD CHAIR AND NEW LEAD ELDER

At Pleasant Valley Church we have seven elders who meet regularly and also serve on the church board; from those seven are chosen a church board chair and a lead elder. Our new board chair is Andrea Alexander and our new lead elder is Dorane Brower. Thank you, Andrea and Dorane, for your service!

PATHFINDER BOTTLEDROP GIVE FUNDRAISER 

A Great Way to Support Our Club!

Pick up a “blue bag” from the labeled container in the coat closet off the foyer. Fill with your recycle donations, then drop them off at any Bottledrop location. The bags are tagged with a QR code that will automatically open the drop off door and credit our Pathfinder account with your donations.

SPIRITUAL COMPANIONSHIP

micro-groups

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.

THE JOURNEY TO WHOLENESS - Christ-centered Twelve Step Recovery

Thursdays at 7:00pm • Pleasant Valley Church Youth Room (Rm 5)

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!

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE GIFT OF SIGHT

A Collaborative Effort with Global Eyeglass Ministry PDX

We would like to thank PVC members and friends who have generously donated 52 pairs of old glasses for our Global Eyeglasses Ministry Support (GEMS) project!  These glasses will be soon matched with those with those who desperately need them in Africa and Asia.

Our Project continues so “that those who do not see may see…” John‬ ‭9‬:‭39‬ ‭ESV‬‬.  A donation box is at the front reception table.
(If you would like to see where your glasses end up, please attach your name and email to the donated glasses).
