The Pauls Valley Ministerial Alliance partners with the City’s Recreation Department to make the egg hunt happen every spring. We fill hundreds of eggs to supplement what the recreation department buys so that there are plenty of eggs to hunt. Led by the First Church of God we also give out free hotdogs, chips and water to anyone and everyone after the egg hunt is over and the prizes have been awarded.
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 New International Version (NIV)

National Day of Prayer
The first Thursday in May every year is the National Day of Prayer. The Ministerial Alliance has a brief praise and prayer time at Wacker Park in the evening for the community. Each participating pastor prays for one of the listed prayer needs: schools, medical community, government, churches, families, and the business community. Since it is held at the park everyone can bring lawn chairs and the service is completely non-denominational.
Community Thanksgiving Service
The Ministerial Alliance presents a Thanksgiving Service on the Sunday evening before Thanksgiving every year. One church volunteers to host the service but the speaker is always from another church. An offering is taken at the service. Past recipients include the Pauls Valley Samaritans, the Salvation Army, and the Ministerial Alliance Benevolent Fund. There is usually fellowship after the service.
Samaritan Sunday
On the last Sunday in September most Ministerial Alliance churches take up a special offering to benefit the Pauls Valley Samaritan food pantry. They also collect non-perishable food items and canned goods.
