Dear PVUMC Family,

“My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless not as I will, but as you will. … My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done” (Matthew 26: 39b, 42b). 
This was Jesus’ prayer when he faced the most frustrating moment in his life. At the top of our sanctuary, we can find this picture of Jesus on the stained glass. He kneed down for his prayer, and asked God for what he really wanted. He was afraid, he was frustrated, and he didn’t want to die like this way, so honestly, Jesus prayed, “if it be possible, let this cup pass.” All night, he prayed this, and we can see the conclusion of his prayer, “Your will be done.” We see that Jesus aligned himself to God’s will, not align God’s will to him. This is prayer. We ask God, we talk to God whatever we want, but ultimately, we will align ourselves to God’s will, so that we follow God’s will. This is the way to walk with God through prayer. The way of Jesus was to death, but that was not the end, as we know, but his final journey was to overcome the death to bring us the eternal life in God’s kingdom. Jesus’ prayer made him to complete God’s mission. We do pray also, so that we will see God’s will be done in our lives. We will experience the power of resurrection in our lives. 

This Friday (10/14), we will hold the Fish-Fry in our church. Please come to the church between 5pm to 7:30pm for your dinner. There will be Fried Fish, Cole Slaw, Beans, French Fries, and Dessert. We couldn’t have a Fish-Fry for 2 years because of the pandemic, but now we resume our annual ministry of the UMM (United Methodist Men) for this time. The Fish-Fry is a fundraiser for the scholarship, “The Frank Sorrow UMM Scholarship." Please invite your friends and neighbors, so that they can have meals in our church. If you have any questions, you can contact Sam Barnum. Either Dine-in or Take-out is possible. I hope to see you all on Friday. 

Our Mission Committee (Chairperson: Pam Graham) is inviting all of our church members to join the ministry, “Hygiene Kits for Women in Prison.” We are collecting items now, and will wrap up this ministry on our anniversary Sunday, 10/23. Items we are collecting are:

Wednesday Prayer Meeting: Wed, 7PM

Prayer is a way to align ourselves to God’s will. When we align ourselves to God, we will see how God works in our lives, through lives, and for our lives.
