SPIRITUAL MATTERS
talents and vocations to let Christ shine through us.
“If He did what He said, then it’s nothing for you to do but throw everything away and follow Him.” — from “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’connor
“Evil is no faceless stranger, living in a distant neighborhood. Evil has a wholesome, hometown face with merry eyes and an open smile. Evil walks among us, wearing a mask which looks like all our faces.” — from “The Mask” by Dean Koontz

Next Sunday, Pleasant Valley Baptist will be recognizing Pack A Pew with Love Day on Sunday the 16th starting at 11AM. Make plans now to join with us. Everyone is invited to come help us pack out the church as well as a pew. All visitors will receive an appreciation gift as well as the person who brings the most visitors. Whether you are invited specifically by someone or you just come on your own, you will be our special guest and we look forward to having you in our service on this special day.! The worship hour will be followed with a fellowship meal and all are invited to enjoy food and fellowship.
We have many interesting studies going on at PVBC. In Sunday School, a study is beginning on why we believe what we believe as Baptist. It will be a comparative study looking at other Baptist teachings of the day. This study will better enable us to be confident in what we believe and how to defend those beliefs. On Wednesday, we are studying the book of Daniel. This past Sunday night, a study on Ezekiel was completed. Come learn the Bible with us and see your faith grow!
Pray with us for those with physical needs, Warren Mcallister, Betty Pitts, Dianne Hullender (surgery), Jewel Mitchell, Carolyn Denton, Lula Petty, Denise Pitts, Claudette Armstrong, and many others of whom the Lord knows their name and their need. Many extended family members are in need of prayer and ask for them to be remembered in your prayers knowing God knows. Pray for Pastor Flood and his family, for the church and ministries including missionaries, Sunday school, youth, nursing homes and homeless, orphans. Pray for Israel/america. Pray for our U.S. Congress and the members who represent you and I. May they each humble themselves before God, call upon Him, realizing they are accountable to Him for their conduct and choices. Pray for our President and all elected officials, national, state, and local. Pray for the Heart Beat legislation (antiabortion) being resisted in Georgia and being considered in Tennessee. Pray concerning the impeachment trials vote to acquit, for God’s will be done. Pray about coronavirus (11 cases in US) facing the world (pestilence). Pray for PVBC to be faithful to preaching God’s Word, grow, and spread the gospel in this community. Pray for souls to be saved and that God will send revival. Our churches and our country needs God sent Revival.
