Arrived: Promise

He said he would rescue us, but we waited and waited and waited; it got darker and darker and darker---and then he came! God’s word of promise wasn’t just “successful” in Christ; his word was fulfilled. God’s promise of what he would do became an in-person doing, an incarnated “Amen,” and the greatest encouragement that he will yet fill to the fullest every promise he has spoken.

Hello my beloved PVC family,

I hope your Christmas is filled with beauty—whether through laughter around the table, quiet moments with loved ones, or simply remembering the goodness of God.

For many, this season is sweet. But for others, it can be tender and heavy as we miss those who are no longer with us or feel the ache of distance, disappointment, or loss. Wherever your heart finds itself this week, you are welcome here.

This Sabbath, we’ll gather again as a family of faith to give glory to the One who came near. Did you know the "twelve days of Christmas" start on Christmas Day? So the celebration isn’t over—we still have more joy, more worship, and more wonder to enter into together.

Come with a heart that is expectant and hopeful, and let’s raise our voices in gratitude and worship to our Savior.

If you’re subscribed to our PVC Worships Weekly Playlist on Spotify, you’ll be able to see what songs we’ll be singing as we draw near to the end of the year and lift up the name of Jesus.

I’m so looking forward to seeing you this Sabbath.

With love,
Hannah, Your Minister of Music ::

This weekend's offering emphasis is for Oregon Conference Youth Support— providing for our youth through camps, leadership training, and programs that point young people to Jesus.

We’re also grateful for your consistent giving to Pleasant Valley’s Church Ministries Budget, which makes youth ministry possible right here in our own congregation. Together, we’re raising up the next generation of disciples.

Whether it’s our own students experiencing Big Lake Youth Camp, gathering for Youth Sabbath School, or being mentored by leaders like Pastor Tyler, your gifts are shaping lives. It takes both conference-wide and local investment to truly support our young people—and you’re doing just that
