Our Church
Our church building was erected in 1950, the Fellowship Hall in 2003,
and hopefully the new addition to the Fellowship Hall will be completed in the near future. What will the next fifty years bring? We don't have a crystal ball; however, we are confident that future generations will er severe, continuing our quest to improve our church and in so doing, glorify God. Rich Valley United Methodist Women The Rich Valley UMW was organized in 1999 with current membership of 25 from Pleasant Grove and Flat Creek United Methodist Churches. The UMW meet on the fourth Sunday evening each month. We participate in mission studies and ministry focused on women and children in this community as well as nationally and worldwide. The UMW weekend retreat at Beersheba Springs is always a very meaningful time for fellowship and mission study. An annual fund raiser for the UMW ladies is our Super Sub Sunday held on Super Bowl Sunday. Prayer Shawl Ministry The United Methodist Women Organization started the Prayer Shawl Ministry on November 25, 2007 and to date have made and given 92 shawls/afghans. The shawls are prayed over and dedicated in our church by Brother Sorrells. The call for these shawls/afghans revealed an abundance of love and healing to individuals young and old in our own communityand as far reaching as an infant in Germany as well as a service person from our church who served overseas. Biscuit Club The church men from Pleasant Grove meet on the fourth Sunday morning for breakfast and fellowship. The Biscuit Club's ministry is local missions to those in need. Fund raising events include a pancake breakfast attended by many in our community. Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church Choir The Choir at Pleasant Grove has been in place for many years with the most recent Director being Betsy Craig accompanied by pianist, Lynn Wilhelm. Each Christmas the Flat Creek members join the Pleasant Grove Choir members to prepare for a beautiful and meaningful Christmas Cantata. Performances of the Christmas Cantata are held at both hurches as well as several other churches during the ChristmasSeason. Special music by the Choir is enjoyed on special occasions all year and during the weekly worship services. Family Night The new Fellowship Hall made it possible to begin our "Family Nights" on one Saturday evening of each month during the fall, winter and spring. The food and fellowship are shared by all. The games, programs and "old fashion fun" are always a hit. The Halloween party with costume judging for all ages is one of our favorite "Family Nights". Vacation Bible School Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church hosted an all day Vacation Bible School in June 2009 with over 50 in attendance. Flat Creek and Pleasant Grove United Methodist Churches have tated hosting Vacation Bible School for the past three years. We are thankful that children and youth of all ages as well as adults enjoy the Bible skits, crafts, food, fun and fellowship. | Pleasant Grove UMC Youth Group
Love is patient.
Love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud. It is not rude. It does not look out for its own interests. It does not easily become angry. It does not keep track of other people's wrongs. But it is full of joy when the truth is spoken. It always protects. It always trusts. It always hopes. It never gives up. Love never fails.  Our FutureWhat will the next fifty years bring? We don't have a crystal ball; however, we are confident that future generations will serve, continuing our quest to improve our church and in so doing, glorify God.
