Ins & Outs: From Poor to Privileged

In this world the poor might be getting by with a little less than they need, but God has chosen them to be rich in faith. And in this world the poor might be disadvantaged and scorned, but in Christ they hold an unusually exalted position. The down-and-out and been brought in and lifted high.

Preparing Our Hearts for Worship 

Hey, hey, my beautiful PVC family,

Wow—last Sabbath was such a profound blessing to my heart as I watched our young leaders, the next generation of PVC, lead us through the service. The blessings to my heart are untold, and I hope you received a deep blessing as well. What a gift it is to see faith taking root and flourishing in our children!

I’ll be back up front with you this weekend, and I’m so looking forward to worshiping together again!

So let’s get into our Playlist of Preparation. As always, you can click one of the buttons below to listen ahead on Spotify or YouTube, or you can create your own playlist.

This week we’ll be singing: All Creatures of Our God and King, Bless God, Abide, Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross, and Raise a Hallelujah / Joyful Joyful.

As always, I look forward to what God is going to do in our midst. I’m eager to see Him glorified among us—because He is so, so worthy.

With love,
Hannah, Your Minister of Music ::

GIVING EMPHASIS:  Church Ministries Budget

Sabbath, March 21

This weekend’s giving goes toward our Church Ministries Budget—the giving that helps Pleasant Valley Church be a place people love coming to.

With Resurrection weekend coming up, we’re getting ready for one of those moments our church family and community really look forward to. It’s a meaningful, joy‑filled weekend where people gather, invite friends, and experience the hope of Jesus—and it’s largely made possible through our Church Ministries Budget.

That same giving also supports the everyday things that keep this place healthy and welcoming. Some of it is exciting and visible, and some of it is a little less exciting—but just as important. One example is upcoming maintenance on our sprinkler system. It’s one of those behind‑the‑scenes investments that helps keep our building safe, open, and ready to welcome our members, our visitors, and our wider community.

All of this is really about the same thing: making sure Pleasant Valley Church is a place that’s ready, cared for, and open—so people can step into what God is doing here.

So thank you, PVC. Thank you for your generosity, your faithfulness, and your love for this church family. Your giving helps make meaningful moments possible and keeps this place ready for whoever God brings through our doors.
