We are a gathered and scattered community. That is the way PVCC defined itself from the very beginning and it has stayed true to this calling. In 2016 the congregation will celebrate its 50th anniversary. Communion is at the heart of our worship service. Everything in the service leads up to this celebration of God’s love. After communion we turn our attention to becoming a scattered community living in Christ’s service in the world. I give thanks for all the ways members of PVCC are engaged in ministry in our community. Thank you.
I want to share with you two special events in which I have the privilege of participating; one this week and another next week. On Thursday, March 13, I’ve been invited to address a gathering of public service employees. The theme of their meeting is “Reclaim the Promise of high quality public service for strong communities.” The Kansas Organization of State Employees, United Teachers of Wichita, and the American Federation of Teachers are holding this event. I look forward to hearing Randi Weingarten, President of the AFT, and other speakers. On April 12, I have the privilege of meeting with the Service Employees International Union, Local 513 for a conversation. Both of these opportunities are extensions of our ministry as a scattered community serving others in the name of Christ.
Blessings, David Hansen
