Unburdened: Forgiving Myself

Forgiveness is hard enough! Why does it get harder when the person we can’t forgive is ourselves? And how do we get out of the prison of our own making?

GIVING EMPHASIS: Oregon Conference Youth Support 

Sabbath, February 22

Today’s offering is for Oregon Conference Youth Support, which helps fund Adventist academies, Big Lake Youth Camp, and young adult ministries. These programs aren’t just about education and adventure—they’re about helping young people build a faith that lasts. When we give, we’re investing in kids who are growing in Christ, making lifelong friendships, and discovering how to use their gifts for God.At the same time, let’s remember PVC’s Family Budget, which also plays a huge role in supporting PVC's youth. Your gifts help fund student aid for kids from our own congregation through the Student Aid Fund, as well as subsidies for students at Hood View and Portland Adventist Academy. These funds make Adventist education possible for families who might not otherwise afford it. The future of the church is being shaped right now—in classrooms, at camp, and in moments of worship and service. Let’s give generously today—because when we invest in young people, we invest in the future of God’s kingdom.

At PVC, we believe that the family that prays and gives together, grows together. Your generosity isn’t just about numbers—it’s about supporting Sabbath Schools, student aid, worship, outreach, and everything that makes PVC a place where faith grows and lives are changed.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s continue praying, giving, and growing together as we trust God with this year ahead!
