The Chancel Choir is taking a much-deserved break for the summer.
Thanks to Mary Forman, our choir director extraordinaire, and the entire choir for their inspirational music for the past year.
The lovely music really makes our church “sing.”
During July and August, Mary will sk for volunteers to join together to sing the anthem each Sunday. If you like to sing but are unable to commit to the rehearsal schedule during the winter months, this is just what you’re looking for!

The church had its first Beanhole Bean Supper for 2009 on April 25th. The Beanhole Committee wants to thank all who participated for pitching in, many of whom wore more than one “hat,” and making it a major success. Final profits are not in, but all three seatings were well attended.
Many people stepped up and took on new responsibilities and the results of their efforts were awesome. We also appreciated volunteers who joined us for the first time. Thanks again for all your help. We also had many young people who waited tables and received many many compliments on their attentive service.
PVUMC is happy to report that Mary Forman has decided to continue as our Music and Choir Director.
Thank you, Mary!

The Third Annual Mother’s Day Tea is coming May 2nd,2009. It’s a time for all of our ladies, young and old to celebrate together.

Speaking of treats, a delicious spread of delicacies will be offered as well as coffee and, of course, tea. Invitations will be handed out at Church, please RSVP as soon as you can. Any questions call Janet LaGrange, Chairlady at 379-0553.
With the cold weather lessening and the ice leaving the ground, it’s time to think about the Bean Hole Bean Suppers.
Once again, as we’ve done for the past 50+ years, PVUMC will host four old-fashioned, bake ‘em in the ground, Bean Hole Bean Suppers. It’s believed that our tradition is one of the only two suppers in New England where the beans are still cooked all day in the ground.
If you’re a newcomer to the church family, you might not be aware that it requires 125+ jobs to be done in order to ensure that our customers enjoy a hearty meal in a pleasant setting. A description of the Bean Hole Bean Supper production can be found on the Bessie Table if you’re interested in learning all the details about these events.
Particularly important to PVUMC is the fact that these suppers are the largest fundraising event in which everyone participates. All monies raised will go to the church’s general fund and each supper has historically brought in between $1,500 to $2,000. This year, as finances become tighter and tighter, we are making every effort to keep the quality of our suppers high while keeping our pricing reasonable.
The dates for the suppers in 2009 are: April 25th, June 13th, September 19th, and October 24th.
Pudge Millahn has agreed to act as over-all chairperson for the Bean Hole Bean Suppers and she will be asking for your help as the committees begin gathering their volunteers. If you’ve never helped out before, or if you’re looking for more ways in which you can lend a hand, please contact Pudge directly at 379-7764.
It may not take a “village” to put on these suppers, but it certainly takes a whole church working together to get the jobs done.
