Our Relationship With The Son
This morning, we will gather to lift up God in our praises, honoring his name and celebrating his faithfulness. Pastor Jim Renke will be finishing up our I Can Relate series. He is speaking from 1 John 5:1-12. We will see how Christ is the beginning and the end of all the relationship changes the good news brings.
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, 02/18 at 6:00 pm as Rebekah leads us during devotional time. There will be snacks and a group activity following the prayer and lesson. The youth group will be hosted at the George's home. Contact Miranda at zmvanvli@tiu.edu for more information.
Have you been baptized? We are making plans for baptisms at our Easter service March 31. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ and you have not been baptized, this is your opportunity to obey the Lord in this key ordinance. Please email Pastor Jim at jimrenke@evcl.org if you are interested.

Are you are looking for a way to serve on Sunday mornings? We have an opportunity for you. The sound booth is looking for volunteers who are willing to help run slides and the camera. You don’t need to be a tech wiz to be able to serve. Training is easy, and your help is very appreciated. You can sign up by either using the sheet in the foyer or emailing jonathan@evcl.org. Thank you for your consideration.
