Palm View Merger

Dear Palm View Christian School family:

As many of you know, we had attempted to keep the school going by merging with another local Christian school.  While that did not happen, it has paved the way for other merger talks.

Life Church, under the leadership of my friend, Don Sanderson,  has been asked by our denomination officials to consider merging his congregation onto the Palm View property and becoming the new lead pastor.  For those that may remember, Don's youth pastor was our featured graduation speaker 2 years ago.  Don has been a chaplain with the Whittier PD since he moved out here from Ohio five years ago.  He serves as a sectional presybter and coaches churches through transitions. I see him at community events on a regular basis.  Pastor Don Sanderson's  capable leadership is what is needed in our church in this season.

For all those that consider Palm View as your first or second home because of the successful 25 year history of our school, I can assure you that Pastor Don and his team will also make you feel welcome.

The church has set aside Sunday, June 27th as the date of the vote affirming a merge.  I would ask that all families keep the church in prayer during this time.  For those that would like to attend special prayer meetings, please come to the sanctuary on the next two Monday nights.

As that Sunday, June 27th, will be our last day at Palm View as we head to Wichita, KS, we are excited as to the future possibilities that still lay ahead in Whittier.

Sincerely,

Rev. Marvin J. Miller, M.Div
Associate Pastor for Christian Education, Palm View Assembly of God.
Principal, Palm View Christian Schools  (PK-8)

The text of the proposed resolution is below.

WHEREAS, the leaders of Palm View Assembly of God, located at 7106 Sorensen Avenue, Whittier, California, and the leaders of Life Church, Whittier, located at 16431 Leffingwell Rd, Whittier, California have entered into discussions regarding a possible merger of the two churches, and,




WHEREAS, these leaders have been in much prayer for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in this possible merger, and,



WHEREAS, the leaders of both congregations have agreed to recommend the merger of the two congregations, therefore,



BE IT RESOLVED, that the membership of both churches be combined into one membership roster, and,



BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the name of the newly merged church be Palm View Assembly of God, and



BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the newly merged church will operate under the current Corporation for Palm View Assembly of God, and the Current Constitution and Bylaws of Palm View Assembly of God, and



BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the current church boards be combined into a single church board (11 total), and that the newly merged church board be authorized to elect its own corporate officers and determine a schedule of rotation for board member elections, and,



BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the merger shall become effective immediately upon receiving an affirmative vote of 2/3rds of all members present and voting by both congregations, at a special meeting of each church called for the purpose of voting upon the merger, and after receiving an affirmative vote of the Executive Presbytery of the Southern California District of the Assemblies of God, and,



BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the corporate officers of the newly merged congregation be authorized to file the necessary documents related to the merger with the Secretary of State for the State of California.

Youth Music Outreach

Congratulations for another successful semester of music to the following students:

Alison Echavarri

Megan Tutorow

The final end of the year performance at East Whittier Methodist Church on Saturday night was excellent.  It was exciting to see how far our beginning band students have come and what they have to look forward to as concert wind ensemble and jazz ensembles brought down the house!

While Palm View is closing, YMO has been part of the Whittier area for over 12 years.  It is the only youth music orchestra in the area.  I encourage our students to remain a part of the program as long as they can.

Rio Hondo & Natalie

Natalie & the Rio Hondy Symphony Violin

The entire K-8th Grade enjoyed Wendy Velasco, cellist from the Rio Hondo Symphony as she demonstrated different string instruments at Palm View.

Playing a little Haydn and some Brahms, she illustrated the difference between classical and romantic music.

Having some fun with the teachers and students, she played theme songs from current movies.  Even though the teachers had first chance to guess the movie, they still lost 5 to 1.  Thanks Coach Jer!  Otherwise we would have been blanked!

If any student still has a question regarding string instruments, please ask your parents to help you click on this link and email our guest, Wendy Velasco.

On Thursday, our adventure continues as we discover brass instruments!
