Journeys Small Groups at PVUMC
|
Just because it’s summer, it doesn’t mean the church closes down. We continue to ignite faith, transform lives and create community, and you’re invited to journey with us.
Journeys, small groups at pvumc, continue year round. In this more relaxed
season, there may be fewer opportunities, but there are still many choices.
Pick up a guidebook on Sunday or
download it here and talk to a friend about joining you on a new journey this summer.
