FOCUS
A New Heart for the Valley is off to a great start!
Valley Presbyterian Church week of May 13, 2018
VPC is hiring! We are looking for an Assistant Director of Student Ministry.
Family Promise rescues homeless families from the streets, provides emergency shelter, and basic needs. Family Promise partners with VPC to provide safe overnight shelter, food, and compassion to families in crisis. Contact Chris if interested in getting involved.
If you or someone you know cares about making sure every middle and high school student is known, loved, and cared for, this opportunity is for you. VPC is looking for someone who embodies the heart of Jesus as we adopt students into the body of Christ. 20 hours/week + benefits. Email Susie for more information: susieh@vpc.church
May is Mental Health Month
You are not alone!
vpc.church/anewheart The momentum is building and VPC has begun making the plans for our campus a reality. Hundreds of people have committed over $6.5 million dollars toward Phase One of A New Heart for the Valley. This is great news! God is at work in our community as many are making this a spiritual and charitable priority. An additional $6 million is needed to complete the vision for A New Heart for the Valley. It will take the whole congregation, committing however they can. Do you still have questions or concerns? We'd love to talk with you. Wondering how long you have to give? Commitments can be paid over three years. Feel like your support won't make a difference? A New Heart for the Valley needs all sizes of support to be successful. Every contribution counts!
