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.

Call to Worship
Based on Psalm 147
Leader: Praise the Lord!
People: How good it is to sing praises to God!
Leader: How great is God!
God’s understanding is beyond our comprehension.
People: How good it is to sing praises to our God!
Leader: The Lord delights in those who honor him,
who put their hope in his unfailing love.
People: How good it is to sing praises to our God!
All: Praise the Lord!
Genesis 32:24-31
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
The sermon, “ “ Determination”,” will be posted soon.
Sharing Our Gifts
In response to God’s forgiveness and great love for us, we joyfully and gratefully offer the fruits of our labor and our lives in these gifts. We give, knowing God’s power to bless and multiply them, so that the transformative power of the grace shown through Christ will be a reality in our neighborhood, community, and around the world. Will the ushers please come forward to collect our offerings.
