In the Pulpit this Week

If you have ever felt left behind or neglected, then come discover how God sees and values you as family. Consider how God set up both Old Testament and New Testament churches with reserved space for foreigners and other marginalized communities. You are not forgotten.

Preparing Our Hearts for Worship 

Hello my dearly loved PVC family,

Last weekend’s worship filled my heart to the brim. I was so blessed by the team and their offering of praise—it was rich, Spirit-led, and beautiful. I cried much needed tears as we glorified God. I hope it filled your heart, too.

As we step into a new Sabbath and prepare for Thanksgiving week, I’m eager to worship with you again and lead you in many songs of thanksgiving!

So, let’s get right to our Playlist of Preparation. You can listen ahead by clicking one of the buttons below to access the playlist—or feel free to make your own!

This week, we’ll be singing: We Gather Together, Let All Things Now Living, Holy Forever, You and You Alone, and Who You Say I Am.

As the hymn We Gather Together reminds us, “We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing.” But what a gift that when we gather, we don’t just ask—we receive His blessings, too. As we move toward Thanksgiving, may we be mindful of all the blessings we’ve been given… and consider how we might be a blessing to someone else this week.

Can’t wait to worship with you
Hannah, Your Minister of Music  

GIVING EMPHASIS:  Oregon Conference Youth Support

Sabbath, November 22

This weekend’s offering emphasis is for Oregon Conference Youth Support—ministries like Big Lake Youth Camp, educational subsidies, and leadership training for the next generation of Adventist young people across our region.

But the story doesn’t stop there. Here at PVC, we see the fruit of this partnership every week. From Sabbath Schools to Doxa and memorable surfing trips where meaningful mentorship and connections happen--our local Church Ministries Budget works hand in hand with Conference resources to nurture faith in our own kids and teens.

Together, your giving creates a complete circle of support—from the mountaintop experiences at camp to the day-in, day-out discipleship happening here at home.

Thank you for your generosity, your prayers, and your investment in the future of our church—one young life at a time.
