We had a roaring time!
A New Heart did you know?
The Valley Presbyterian Foundation would like to thank everyone who helped make this year's Foundation Dinner such a great success! Your support will help VPC and our community now and in the future.
The Master Plan Book, with information and concept images, is available at three locations: Administration building, Sanctuary, and Landes Center lobby. -When refurbished, the 1968 Reuters Sanctuary organ console will be movable. This will allow optimum placement for the variety of musical events in the Sanctuary. -The choir loft is moving to the center of the new chancel, making the Chancel Choir easier to see and hear!

Serving Communion
You are not alone!
A New Heart for the Valley devotional inspiration
Devotional: A Generational Heart Our campus redesign brings the children, youth, and adults into the center of our campus and directly connects all generations together in worship and fellowship. This is biblically and missionally important, for we need each other to be whole and wholly inspired. Jesus entered Jerusalem and rode on a donkey—it was an enacted children’s message, making visual his decision to be a Messiah of humility, modesty, service, and suffering, rather than violence and triumph. Sometimes, the children’s message is the best part of worship! One of the best parts of being a pastor is connected with all ages.
Scripture: Zechariah 9:9 | Luke 19:29-36
We will be serving communion to our AtHome friends of on Sunday, April 8. If you would like to volunteer to serve on this rewarding ministry, please contact Tammy at tammym@vpc.church or call 480-991-6424 Ext. 163
