Fall Revival

2008-fall-revival-03.jpgRev. Dwight RineOur annual fall revival was a time of real spiritual refreshment.  Rev. Dwight Rine –associate pastor at the  God’s Missionary Church in Lebanon, PA– was our evangelist.  The Lord blessed in a special way  during each service with relevant messages and enriching music.  During the Friday morning service a great number  of our young people 2008-fall-revival-02.jpgresponded to an invitation after a  pointed message on holiness.  

We praise the Lord for the spiritual advance of each student.

HARVEST HOME: A Time of Praise

Lucas Shrout plays for PVBI Harvest Homeharvesthome-01.jpgMore than just a tradition, Harvest Home is always a time of reflection and thanksgiving. This year we enjoyed the piano renditions of Mr. Lucas Shrout our Penn View Director of Music. Performing songs from his new CD To the King as well as a special Thanksgiving arrangement, Mr. Shrout led us in an exhilarating concert of worship and praise. 

Indians and PilgrimsThe event  theme was enhanced by some students who depicted a first Thanksgiving meal by dressing as Pilgrims and Indians.

Select staff and students beautifully decorated the tabernacle with a wonderful display of the food items donated to help provide quality meals for our school family.

Fall Benefit Banquet & Auction

2008-fall-benefit-banquet-and-auction-01.jpgLEBANON, PA –  On the evening of September 27th, over 325 people gathered for a black bow-tie event of great food and wonderful fellowship in the activity center of the God’s Missionary Church in Lebanon, PA.  Coordinated by Leonard Raub and Larry Shuey, this benefit banquet was a blessing to all.  

Wholesome, beautiful entertainment provided by the Music Division of Penn View added to the evening event.  The complimentary banquet meal –prepared by alumnus Dwight Rine– was followed by an auction coordinated by Leonard Raub.   The participants enjoyed bidding on many items including those from the Ernie Peia estate.

We give God all the praise and glory for what was accomplished for Penn View and His Kingdom in that one short evening.  We encourage other churches or groups of churches to sponsor similar fund-raising events for Penn View.  We would like to assist you in getting one set up to benefit our school.  Thanks goes to the Lebanon God’s Missionary Church congregation for their hard work in preparation for this benefit event!
