Links to the location for the on-line services can be found in the column to the right. We are working very hard to keep a safe environment for those who wish to come and worship in person and we welcome anyone to join with us. Yes, things are a little different than they were last early spring, but the Lord is still with us and looking for YOU to come to the table. Communion will be served the first Sunday of each month. Join us in our circle of faith and give thanks for your blessings from above.

Our doors are open to everyone to come on Sunday mornings at 10am to worship. We still need to be mindful of the covid guidelines that are in place in our effort to ensure the Sanctuary is as safe as possible. Wear a mask (if you don’t have one, one will be available) and keep social distancing in mind as we scatter ourselves throughout the room. Remember, our heavenly Father wants to hear from you and share His love with you. No matter how distant we need to be from each other, there is no social distance needed when we come to God.

The newsletter for Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church is now available online. The good news is that our doors are now open for our Sunday 10 am worship services. We would love to have you join with us but we must keep in mind the guidelines established by our conference that will allow us to provide a safe environment for worshippers. Here are just a few you’ll want to keep in mind: you must wear a mask at all times, social distancing must be maintained as indicated by the designated pews, there is no Sunday School for the children. There is no formal coffee hour. We pray that these restrictions will be lifted in the near future, but until that time, it is still a blessing to be able to gather in the Sanctuary to worship our Lord.
Today was the first time communion was celebrated since we’ve opened the doors again. The elements were pre-packaged but the words and prayers were the same ones we’ve used for years and it brought many of us comfort to be able to recite them again. Communion will be offered on the first Sunday of each month as usual.
