On Saturday, October 27, the church family will celebrate Pastor Shiflett's birthday with a get-together at Lincoln Park near the church. Games and fellowship will begin at 4:30 P.M.

The covered dish meal will begin at 6:00 P.M. There is a large BBQ grill at the park, and we'll have that ready for grilling at approximately 5:00 P.M. for anyone who wants to grill or have something grilled.

Bring horseshoes, bats/balls/gloves, and basketballs.  

Come ready for a great time of food, fellowship, and fun!

Sister Perry is now at home. Since returning home, her condition has improved significantly, but she still needs our prayers. The care she is receiving has helped quite a bit.

The ladies of the church family are scheduling various types of help (sitting, meals, errands, etc.). You may call the church office or Mrs. Brenda Brown if you would like to help "Sis" during this time. If you would like to send her a card, here is her mailing address:

The 2007 Missions Revival was a tremendous blessing to the PVBC family! God met with us every night, and our hearts were stirred once again with the blessing and privilege of being involved in sharing the gospel at home and around the world.

Bro. Allen Barker brought three tremendous messages Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Bro. Bob Ford preached for us on Sunday morning, and his message capped off the week! Each service we also heard testimonies and field presentations from different missionaries; the Sykes family (New Mexico), the Anderson family (United Kingdom), the Sims family (Jewish), and the Beck family (Spain). It was obvious that all four of these families were passionate about God's call on their lives, and they were a blessing to our church family.

On Saturday night, following our international dinner, the children and young people of the church gave a powerful and moving program on the impact of home and foreign missions. Beginning with William Carey, the father of modern missions, they shared with us how he and others laid the ground work for those who would come behind. They closed with testimonies from men on the field TODAY and those whose lives have been changed by the power of the gospel.

On Sunday morning, the church family completed faith-promise cards sharing what their increase would be for the coming year. That night, Pastor Shiflett as well as the entire church family was amazed at the increase. Surely, "Little is Much When God is in it!" The church was able to take on several missionaries during the service, and plans were announced for a radio ministry in the very near future!

The exciting weekend wrapped up with a church fellowship on Sunday night (after a GLORIOUS service!), and Pastor Shiflett shared pictures of his ministry in South Africa. What a blessing to see how God used this family to take the gospel to that country. Once again, the church family thanked God for preparing Pastor Shiflett and his family for Pleasant View Baptist Church. "The Lord hath done GREAT things for us, whereof we are GLAD!!"

Psalm 27:6 "And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD."

What a blessing to be in His tabernacle this past Sunday! God met with us and blessed our hearts together from the opening song during Sunday School assembly, "Because He Lives" and all the way through until the closing prayer on Sunday night! Pastor Shiflett preached on the "Glorious Return" of our Saviour on Sunday morning and continued his excellent series on the home on Sunday night. Both services were blessed with a sweet touch of God's presence, and we enjoyed a special touch of the joy His presence brings on Sunday morning during the song service. The choir and an impromptu congregational, "It Will Be Worth it All" were especially blessed with God's annointing. Our hearts were certainly in tune when it came time for the preaching of the Word!

After the morning service, we enjoyed the blessing of seeing the baptism of eight of our children and young who have been saved this summer. Sunday night, we also enjoyed the update from one of our veteran missionaries, Bro. and Sis. Stanley Ewing serving in Indonesia. Then, at the conclusion of the evening service the church family was blessed during the observance of the Lord's Supper.

Praise the Lord for visitors in both services and for everything God is doing at PVBC.

"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this; to visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." James 1:27

PVCA students enjoyed the opportunity to help a widow lady in the PVBC family today.
