General Announcements
First Hour Classes:
Sent: Living a Life That Invites Others to Jesus, by Heather and Ashley Holleman. Plan to join Carol Marshall & Miranda George as we read this book together and encourage one another in the journey of sharing our faith in Christ. Books are available and class members will read one chapter per week with discussion questions.
VCL Beliefs - This class will go through the doctrinal statement of VCL. Each week we will focus on a separate article of faith. This would also serve as the doctrine review for future membership. If you’re curious, confused, or committed, this may be a class that strengthens your understanding of God and VCL. The class is led by Pastor Jim and Elder Jim Stamoolis.
VCL Youth- There is no youth group tonight.
Missionary of the week: Please pray for Mark and Brenda Brown, Kansas, this week.
