Guest Speaker for Sunday worship: 5/3/2015

This Sunday (5/3) we’ll be having a guest speaker give the message in church…our own District Superintendent, Rev. Kenneth Kieffer. Ken is a gifted speaker and holds his listeners in the palm of his hands as he speaks. I hope you’ll attend this Sunday for a show of support and to hear his message. Our thanks to Ken for coming to fill the pulpit when Pastor Trudy is unable to be with us.

The Good Shepherd

We are blessed here at Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church with having a Lay Speaker who can fill in for our pastor when needed. Pastor Trudy has been under the weather for several days and deemed it best to ask Joann to present the Sunday morning message. Here is that message and we hope that it will bless and inform you as it did for those of us who heard it on Sunday morning.
