Sympathy
Our church family extends its Christian sympathy to the family and friends of David Crawford Sr., Stan Hodges (Lee Adams brother-in-law), and Bill McNeal.
Fellowship and Friendship Did you know? Approximately 200 women regularly participate in events and Bible studies. From MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) to Presbyterian Women luncheons, the women of VPC gather to strengthen and encourage one another. On the third Tuesday of each month, the VPC Men's Ministry meets for breakfast. This gathering of men has become a great time to build community. In the busyness of life, taking time to meet has helped these men to grow closer in Christ.

From classes to communion, everything VPC does is a chance to belong to a community that is made better by your presence. The time together and friendships made are a reflection of God's presence in the life of our church. Why do we give?
TRUNK OR TREAT Today, 5-7PM Kiva Field
When you give, reflect on the gifts God has entrusted to you. Taking even just a few minutes to think about why and how you use the gifts God has given you can have a profound effect. This is a powerful exercise to do with your family. Your gifts help make everything VPC does possible.
