In the Pulpit this Week
Kessia Reyne Bennett
(Kessia Reyne will be preaching the sermon she had planned for last week before she fell ill)
Through the Darkness: The Concubine
The Levite and his concubine (a semi-wife) are passing through town one night, and taken in by a hospitable old man. After cleaning up and sharing dinner together, the evening takes a dark turn and unspeakable events unfold. The concubine is pushed out of the house to a violent mob and she is raped and tortured until day break, then hauled back home, dismembered, and mailed to the 12 tribes of Israel. — She was despised and rejected, a woman of sorrows and acquainted with grief; we turned our backs and looked the other way.

Preparing Our Hearts for Worship
Hey hey, PVC Family!
We have Randy Ban + team leading out in song service this week and I know it will be a blessing!
You can increase the blessing of musical worship this weekend by listening ahead of time to our song set + bringing praise music into your week!
Click one of the buttons below to listen to the pre-made playlist of preparation for our gathered Sabbath service.
If you want to make your own playlist, do it! We’re singing: Tis so Sweet to Trust in Jesus, This is Amazing Grace, Graves into Gardens, Trust in God, and Gratitude.
I won’t be here this Sabbath; I’m going to visit family, but I’m so thankful for all the teams that lead our congregation in worship! What a rich group of talent we have at our church. I’m glad for all those who say “yes” to using their musical gifts for the Lord.
Feeling so blessed + sending blessings to you,
Hannah ::
Your Minister of Music

GIVING EMPHASIS: CHURCH MINISTRIES BUDGET
Sabbath, June 21
Our giving emphasis this Sabbath is for our Church Ministries Budget. Every time you give to our family budget, you’re investing in ministry that happens right here at home—and the impact is real. Because of your generosity, we are able to resurface and stripe our parking lot next month—creating a safer and more welcoming space for everyone who arrives here.
Because of your generous and reliable support, we’re also supporting PVC students in Adventist schools, helping them access Christ-centered education. And each week, your giving helps us create a warm, worshipful environment where people can encounter God and connect with each other.
May was a strong month—we met our budget goal! But we’re still about 27% behind for the year, and every gift helps us close that gap so we can keep building what God is doing here!
Thank you, PVC, for showing up with such generosity and heart. Let’s keep going—together.
