PASTOR REPORTS DAVID JOYNT SENIOR PASTOR

Do you ever watch the credits? At the end of a movie there are so many names that scroll across the screen. It takes the contributions and efforts of hundreds of people that don’t ever appear in front of the camera. People that produce, direct, cast, and do the filming and editing. People that provide costumes, clothing, and design sets and do stunts. People who arrange housing on location and make lunch!

The credits for God’s work at VPC are much, much longer—and your name is on the list. Some of you help guests find their way to VPC, some of you greet and embrace them. Some decorate the Sanctuary for special seasons, some work the technical booth, some teach. Others visit, counsel, provide hospitality, serve in ministries of care of compassion or outreach. All of you give gifts of prayer and service and self, and you provide the resources for every act of service or celebration or witness or love. Thank you!

Looking through this annual snapshot, I am very grateful for my colleagues on the VPC staff, our Session leaders, and for every one of you. Remember, even if your contribution feels invisible, it is crucial and is permanently treasured in heaven.
