Our Relationship With Spirits
We look forward to worshiping the Lord together this Sunday. As believers in Christ, it’s vital that we understand the spiritual dangers around us. Pastor Jim Renke will continue to walk us through the I Can Relate series in 1 John. We’ll consider how we can and must discern the message and trustworthiness of the spirits at work in our world.
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. 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– Join us tonight, Sunday, 02/11 at 6:00 pm as Matthew leads us in a lesson on wisdom and discernment. There will be a cereal buffet and games following the devotional and prayer time.
