The latest happenings for you & your family at MVPC
Forest Home (HS)
Summer Camp at Forest Home is designed to challenge, encourage, and engage junior high and high school students. Each activity during the week is purposefully planned to get them out of their normal routines and challenge them into something more significant, more adventurous, and more intentional!
Campers will enjoy living in community, making new friends, and creating memories that will give them confidence as they navigate the changes and challenges that middle school and high school brings.
Retirement Celebration for Rev. Dr. Drew Hulse
Make plans to join us on Sunday, June 14th after the 9:00 service as we welcome Drew and Cathy Hulse and mark Drew’s retirement after many years of ministry. We’ll have donuts — of course, in honor of our beloved donut provider — plus food and time to celebrate this next chapter with them.

Rhythms: Rooted in Christ. Reset for the Week
Join us as we begin a new gathering designed to help you slow down, refocus, and be rooted in Christ. Together, we’ll follow a simple and meaningful pattern—beginning with a time of devotion and prayer, moving into small group discussion, and closing with a shared time of reflection.
Each gathering will connect to our current sermon series, Heaven and Earth Renewed, allowing us to continue growing in the same truths throughout the week.
This is a space to step out of the busyness of life and reset—grounding ourselves in our identity in Christ through Scripture, prayer, and spiritual practices.

Stitching Sisters
Stitching Sisters meets monthly on the second Wednesday to promote fellowship among women who machine sew or do hand needlework. A devotion is shared before we break for our own sack lunch. Personal projects are regularly in progress. Participation is encouraged in the design and construction of group projects, which are sewn by multiple members. These have included quilts and various home goods which are then offered for sale at the fundraiser in November. Sale money benefits the Women’s Ministries account for distribution to local and faraway missions.
Book Circle
Book Circle discusses one book every month. We meet at 10:00 am on the second Monday of the month, September through June.
