Who We Are and Why
This Sunday, we’ll gather to worship the Lord and who he has made us in Christ. Through singing, prayers and the Word we’ll celebrate our unity in Christ and give God thanks for Pastor Casey and Danielle’s ministry with us at VCL. Pastor Jim Renke will lead us through Galatians 2:15-21. We will see that in a world, where our understanding of who we are is used as a basis of division, the gospel reminds us that who we are as Messiah-people is the basis of living our lives together in Christ.
General Announcements
Hour in the Word 9 a.m. Our topic is Cultural Engagement: Being Salty and Smelly! Join us for this session during the months of June and July. Carol Marshall and Sam George will be teaching on the topic of Cultural Engagement. How do we as believers bring God’s goodness into the world around us through the savor and fragrance of Christian love and actions? We’ll define what culture actually is and how the example of Jesus sets a pattern for a truly incarnational faith life. If you’ve never come to the first hour class this would be a great time to give it a try!
We need volunteers for First Hour! We are in great need for leaders/volunteers for our first hour teaching time for children ages 4-11 for the summer. Right now, we need help on a bi-weekly basis, but we’d love to talk if you have any interest in helping. Reach out to Jennie Stanonik at jnjnjnjnj@sbcglobal.net if you are interested.
