Good morning!  This page is intended to both serve as a continuing worship option for those participating in our worship service from home, and to serve in place of print resources during our in-person worship.  Following the worship service on Sunday, one or more video recordings from the service will be placed on this page, including the sermon.  This may take several hours, due to the time needed to process the videos.  We will email the congregation when the recordings have been posted.  If you would like to be added to our congregational email list, please contact pvcob.alive@gmail.com.

          • Our Youth Late Night will be this Friday from 6:00 pm- 11:00 pm.
          • This week and next Sunday: Find something that represents how you or your family makes room in your lives for Jesus, and/or how you make room for the love of God to be lived out.  This thing could be a piece of art, or and object, or…well use your imagination.  Then please take the time to write out a short description of why or how it means making room for Jesus.          You have two options for sharing this with us:  1) take a picture of this thing and send it to me at my church email, listed in the directory. Don’t forget to send the description too!  2) Bring the object and the description with you next Sunday so we can display these items.  Either way your item will be shared with the congregation, either on the screen, or here at the church.  We will also be sharing this encouragement in our upcoming newsletter as encouragement for the new year.

          One: Our God can part the sea. 

          All: God can bring water from a rock, 

          and provide bread in the desert. 

          One: Our God can walk on water. 

          All: He can heal the sick, 

          and turn water into wine. 

          One: Our God sets the stars in the sky.

          All: God hears our voice when we cry, 

          and is closer than our own breath. 

          One: There is nothing God cannot do. 

          All: Let us stand in awe. Let us worship God with wonder

          “. . . of how it came to pass, the Wisemen chose the gifts they brought? 

          Frankincense for holy ones, and gold for kings, but myrrh?

          Why a gift for tombs they brought on this, the Savior’s birth?”
