In the Pulpit this Week

Kessia Reyne Bennett

Finished: You’ve Been Redeemed

Your history was re-written before you were born. Millennia ago a man was sent on a mission to spend an enormous sum; this sum was to purchase your freedom. Since the sum has been paid, the freedom is yours. The only thing left to do now is to live free.

Preparing Our Hearts for Worship 

Hey, hey, my beautiful PVC family,

It’s Resurrection Weekend! Of all the Sabbaths we gather together, this one carries such a unique and powerful weight. Because of what happened on that third day, everything is different. Death has lost its grip. Hope is not just a feeling; it’s a person, and His name is Jesus.

I am so grateful that we get to come together this weekend to celebrate and remember the living hope we have in Him!

This weekend, we have Randy Ban leading us in worship, and I know it is going to be a beautiful time in God’s presence!

So let’s get right to it! Click one of the buttons below to listen to this week’s Playlist of Preparation on Spotify or YouTube — or feel free to make your own!

This week we’ll be singing: Nothing But the Blood, Rest On Us, Living Hope, Jesus Paid it All, and Death Was Arrested.

Whatever you are carrying into this weekend—grief, doubt, weariness, or wonder—I pray that the truth of the resurrection meets you right there. He is risen, and that changes everything. You are free!

Can’t wait to worship with you!

With love,
Hannah, Your Minister of Music ::

GIVING EMPHASIS:  Church Ministries Budget

Sabbath, April 4

This Sabbath, as we celebrate Resurrection weekend, your giving supports our Church Ministries Budget—the giving that helps make moments like this possible at Pleasant Valley Church.

With the Agape Feast on Friday night, and the Resurrection Day service on Sunday, we’re welcoming more people than usual—friends, family, neighbors, and visitors who are here to celebrate the hope of Jesus. Your generosity helps create those spaces: places that are prepared, welcoming, and full of life.

Our church ministries budget supports the people, the planning, and the behind‑the‑scenes work that helps this weekend—and every Sabbath—be a place where people can encounter God and feel at home.

So thank you. Thank you to God for the hope we celebrate this weekend, and thank you to our church family for your generous hearts.
