2 A Note from Pastor Phillips: Thank you for coming to worship with us today. If you are a first-time visitor, I would sure like the opportunity to meet you and welcome you personally. Because I believe in a Sovereign God, I don t believe anything happens by chance. I believe you were brought here today for a purpose. I would love to help you discover that purpose, and to see if there is any way we as a church can bless and minister to you and your family. Please stop by the Resource Center after the service so I can shake your hand. I d sure count it a privilege.

Her love and passion for serving her Heavenly Father is visible in her actions every week. Larissa has been granted the opportunity to travel to New Zealand for a mission trip for approximately one month to serve young parents and children. Larissa has seen God move in the application process, and is confident that He has chosen THIS time and THIS place for her to serve Him. As you can imagine, the cost for such a missions trip is quite high. We are asking our church family to pray about supporting Larissa s mission, both in prayer and financially. If you feel led to do so, please place your gift, made payable to PVBC, in the offering with Larissa NZ on the memo line of your check.
