Good Work: As to the Lord
Made in God’s image, stirred by his Spirit, you long to make a difference by your work, to be a blessing, maybe even to change the world. But haven’t all of us wondered whether our work matters at all? What does it take to do honorable work of eternal significance?

Preparing Our Hearts for Worship
Hello Dear PVC Family,
It’s playlist of preparation time again.
But before I dive into that, I want to remind–or inform you for the first time–that your church staff have made the decision to change up our worship flow a teensy bit to aid in a more streamlined and cohesive worship experience.
Instead of having a worship host each week, the worship leader will greet you, remind you of your identity in Christ, and then prompt you for the Call to Worship.
The singing of the word is so closely aligned with the speaking of the word–it’s with our mouths that we confess Christ’s Lordship! So why not have the singing and our scripture time a little closer together? It was a wonderful experience last weekend and I believe it will be a wonderful experience again this upcoming Sabbath. As a reminder in case I miss saying it from the front, you’re free to take whatever posture feels most comfortable and right for you. There’s no right or wrong way to worship! So just follow the Spirit however he leads you in our time. Sitting down when you need to is a great idea!
Click one of the buttons below to hear what songs we’ll be singing this weekend or make your own playlist! This Sabbath we’ll be singing: Leaning on the everlasting arms, Tis so Sweet, Great are you Lord, Living Hope, Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus, and Waymaker!
Be blessed, Beloved!
Love, Hannah
