Something to think about... • People with mental illness deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect as anyone else. • Mental illnesses are treatable! God cares about our whole being: physical, spiritual, and mental health. • God created us as relational beings: we need one another in order to survive and to thrive. When we share our stories, our struggles, and our prayers with like-minded souls on this journey we call life, we begin to tear down walls and shame and build up trust, care, and hope.

A New Heart for the Valley still needs you!
FOCUS
Valley Presbyterian Church week of May 27, 2018
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!
