Since our website presence has been missing over the summer, let me catch you up!

Our Sunday School children are once again attending classes during the worship service, led by our wonderful team of adults. The ladies group, the Mary & Martha’s, have resumed their meetings following a summer off, and they have some fun events planned for the upcoming months. The Tuesday Morning Bible Study group continue to meet each week and further their learning, as well as offering prayers for those who especially need God’ healing hand during hard times. The Community Food Bank has had a face lift and has seen more clients come to take advantage of what is offered. The Visitation Committee has been busy keeping in touch with those folks who are not able to attend services in person, or who just need a personal visit at times. We have passed the two year anniversary of the Winsted UMC folks combining with the PVUMC congregation and what a blessing it has been! We’ve all made new friends and some have been re-acquainted with others from years past.

We continue to be a vibrant source of Christian fellowship here in Pleasant Valley and all are welcome to come worship with us and attend any of the events and functions that are scheduled.

It’s been awhile since our website has been active and many thanks to those of you who have found us again! Our site domain name (www.pleasantvalley-umc.com) made a minor adjustment (note the hyphen between “Pleasantvalley” and “umc”). While it seemed to be a simple change it was anything but an easy one. Our thanks go to Gene for all his hard work in straightening out this problem and getting us on track once again.

In the next few entries, we’ll try to update you on what’s happening in our little church in the Valley. In the meantime, thank you for continuing your support of our church, our activities, and events, and this website. We look forward to many new things to share with you!
