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.

       

       

          • Merry Christmas!
          • We will have our Christmas Eve service this evening, beginning at 7 PM. Don’t miss an opportunity to celebrate Christmas with music by candle light!
          • Back Pack Pals have begun distributing for this school year and are in need of pudding cups and Ramen Noodles! Please leave your donations in the blue bin located in our Narthex. Thank you!

      One: There is room for you here. 

      If you’re weary and worn, 

      or hopeful and patient. 

      All: If you’re tired and lost, 

      or wrapped up in hope. 

      One: If you’re new to this place, 

      or have been here before. 

      All: Come in, come in. 

      There is room for you here.

      One: The angels are singing, 

      All: “Be not afraid.” 

      One: The angels are singing, 

      All: “Good news and great joy!” 

      One: So come in, come in! 

      All: There is room for us here.
