NOTE OF SADNESS
Remembering Joyce Jordan
Joyce (Tall) Jordan, a former member of PVC, passed away early in the morning of October 28, 2026. She had been hospitalized for several weeks. While in the hospital, Joyce celebrated her 78th birthday (October 15). Her last words included "I'll see you in Heaven". And indeed, we will! "Come quickly, Lord Jesus." Revelation 21. A memorial service will be held sometime after the first of the year. Joyce was predeceased by her husband Ray.
ALL-CHURCH POTLUCK
November 14 after second service
Join for for an all-church potluck this Sabbath, hosted by the Men's Ministries & Sanctuary Discipleship class. All are invited to stay by for a wonderful time of food and fellowship.
Plan now to join us for a wonderful time of food and fellowship at next month's potluck. Here's how to participate:
1. Drop your dish off in the kitchen and place it in the appropriate oven, warming oven, or refrigerator.
2. When the meal wraps up, help with cleanup before heading out.
That's it! Bring a dish with plenty to share, enjoy the fellowship, and lend a hand. We hope to see you there!

THE JOURNEY TO WHOLENESS - Christ-centered Twelve Step Recovery
Thursdays at 7:00pm • Room 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!

DWELL WITH PVC
Meditate on God's Word with PVC
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.
THE GIFT OF SIGHT
A Collaborative Effort with Global Eyeglass Ministry PDX
We have donated a 2nd box of glasses! We would like to thank PVC members and friends who previously donated 52 pairs of old glasses for our Global Eyeglasses Ministry Support (GEMS) project! Our 2nd box of 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).

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.
