FOCUS
Are you estranged from family or friends? Estrangement is an emotional distancing, a cessation of communication. It is prevalent and hard to talk about; we want to help. We will discuss reasons for estrangement, how to deal with our pain and guilt, and successful steps for reconciliation.
VPC News Join VPC’s Mental Health Ministry representatives for a light breakfast and presentation by Terry McDermott, Peer Group Coordinator from NAMI Valley of the Sun. Do you have a family member, friend, co-worker or acquaintance living with mental illness? Do you believe in the power of HOPE? Presenters will walk you through their journey to recovery.

Master Plan Model
We invite you to come take a look at the model displayed in the Church Office. The VPC Master Plan Team and Jones Studio have envisioned a single primary worship space, a new heart for our campus, and a greatly improved facility for families, hospitality, and outreach. Without building any new structures, they have envisioned a way to reorganize and renew our existing spaces that accomplishes all these goals in a way that is beautiful and powerful. It is a transformational plan.
