Discipleship and Spiritual Growth (DSG) Did you know? During Oasis Community Wednesdays, our campus pulsates with laughter and fellowship! Weekly, over 100 adults participate in the Alpha Course, Marriage Course, Tim Smiths’ Discerning Your Spiritual DNA class, and Holy Yoga. In addition, Oasis Kids! attendance sees between 20-25 kids learning of God’s heroes and praising his name in song. Our Oasis Students hang and socialize with one another as they move from study rooms to group activities and sessions, enjoying our campus as it was meant to be. Each week, people find themselves chatting with new and old friends long after classes have ended. Learn more about Oasis Community Wednesday or register for a class at: vpc.church/oasis. Over the last two years, attendance at VPC classes has doubled. Thanks to you, VPC is a place where people learn, grow, and live life together! Why do we pledge?
Our church family extends its Christian sympathy to the family and friends of Helen Adams, Robert Duckworth, and Ruth Napier.
