It’s WHY Wednesday! Paige Davidson shares her family’s Why: “I’ve always loved the image from Psalm 23 of the cup that runs over. I think it captures why our family serves. Yes, we serve because Jesus calls His followers to lives of service. But God prepares us to serve by filling our cups so full to overflowing that it feels right to share those blessings. And then we’re filled right back up to spilling over because of the people we meet and the friendships we make.” Paige is our worship leader for the 11am Ignite modern service and you will find Gilbert, and sometimes Annie, greeting on Sunday mornings! #pvumc #pvumcaz

Today is Why Wednesday! Each week we hear from our members as to WHY they serve! Today Bill and Peggy Howard share their WHY: "Bill and I have been attending PVUMC since 1998 moving to Arizona from Chicago. Being the daughter of a Methodist minister, service was modeled by my parents. We have had the joy of having 4 generations attending PVUMC. We enjoy serving others because Jesus modeled that for us. I love working with the youth as Camp Nurse at Mingus Mountain Camp and at Vacation Bible Camp. Bill and I have made life long friends at PVUMC. We enjoy serving in any way we can." #pvumc
