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.

      Sharing Our Gifts

       

      We bring our gifts with gratitude for the opportunity to give. We give thanks to God for the bounty that is ours and for the freedom we have to worship as we choose. We are grateful for the endless choices that are ours to ponder and partake. We bring our gifts with hearts full of thanksgiving. 

      Galatians 3: 26-29

      26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

      As we go from worship and into the beauty of this autumn season, may we be reminded that this is a season of harvesting and planting. May we celebrate the goodness and blessings of the harvest as we gather them in and hold them close. And may we also be willing to follow Jesus and participate in the work of planting, of letting go, laying down, and sacrificing that which needs to die so that something new can grow and bear much fruit. Amen.
