Through the Darkness: Surrounded by Surrender
What happens when a man full of potential, power, and purpose slowly walks in the wrong direction? In the story of Samson, we see not a dramatic fall, but a quiet drift — one choice at a time. And yet, we also meet a God who doesn't abandon us when we're far off, but calls us back with grace. This week we’ll explore what it means to recalibrate our hearts, point our feet toward Christ, and find real strength not in self-reliance, but in surrender.

Preparing Our Hearts for Worship
It's almost Sabbath again, beloved PVC Family! And I'm honored to lead you in song yet again.
As always, you can prepare your heart for our gathered worship by listening ahead to our song selection by clicking one of the buttons below.
Don't use Spotify or YouTube? All good. Make your own playlist! We'll be singing: Holy, Holy, Holy; What a Friend We Have in Jesus, O Come to the Altar, and Goodness of God.
See you soon, precious fam!
Hugs, Your Minister of Music, Hannah :::

GIVING EMPHASIS: CHURCH MINISTRIES FUND
Sabbath, May 31
Helping Students Grow in Faith
Each week, your generosity helps keep PVC’s ministries strong—and we want to celebrate one way that’s making a real impact: this fall, 11 students from our own church family will receive tuition assistance to attend Adventist schools. That support comes directly from your direct giving to PVC and is just one example of how your giving helps shape young lives for Jesus.
As we move closer and closer to summer, we’re tracking about $30,000 behind our Church Ministries Budget goal for the year. We’re confident in God’s provision and deeply thankful for each of you who give faithfully. If you haven’t reviewed your giving plan lately, this is a great time to consider how you might help us stay on track.
Whether you give weekly, monthly, or occasionally —thank you. Every dollar supports ministry that matters; youth and family programs, Sabbath Schools, worship, outreach, and a church that’s welcoming and growing. Thank you for being a faithful part of what God is doing in this community!
