You are not alone!
During VPC's Capital Campaign we'll take an excerpt from Pastor Joynt's daily devotional. It will be a call to action to listen, pray, or engage with A New Heart for the Valley. You can get your own daily devotional in each worship center or online: vpc.church/devotional. Devotional: A Single Heart Singleness of heart and soul characterized the very beginning of the church in Acts. This despite the enormous ministry challenges of a multi-cultural world where every endeavor was a first off. This despite the economic, geographic, and cultural diversity among the first disciples. Notice that this unity of purpose and emotion and spirit took tangible form in shared resources and a mission budget!
Daily Devotionals available in worship centers & church office
Do you think our ministry challenges are harder or easier than those the first disciples faced? Scripture: Acts 4:32-37
