In a statement in Jos by the Chairman of the Fellowship in Plateau, Rev. Steven Dangana, June 26 has been declared as “PVC Sunday,” and members would be expected to attend church service with their PVCs that day.

The chairman explained that the decision to declare the PVC Sunday was taken at its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on June 16 in Lagos.
