Even though life gets wild, God is good. Roar is filled with incredible Biblelearning experiences kids see, hear, touch, and even taste! Sciency-fun Gizmos, team-building games, cool Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the standout activities that help faith flow into real life. Plus, we’ll help kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life—something we call “God Sightings.”

VPC is a place where you can

We give thanks for the fathers in our lives.

Fatherhood does not come with a manual, and reality teaches us that some fathers excel while others fail. We ask Your blessings for all fathers, and forgiveness where it is needed.

We're glad you are here today!

VPC is a community that believes God calls us to be in relationship.

Sunday morning worship is a time to gather, connect, and give thanks to the Creator who loves us without end.

New to VPC? Welcome! We want to know what VPC can do for you. First Step Cards are available in all worship centers. Feel free to fill it out, drop it in an offering tray, or give it to a volunteer at the Welcome Center.

Want to join our growing community? You can join today!

If this is your first time at VPC or you've been coming for months and are moved to join our church, a Pastor and a church leader will be available after worship to talk and pray with you.

If you’re here with kids, We have several fun and safe opportunities for kids: Summer Sunday School: Nursery: (Infants-2 years) 3 years-1st grade 9:15-10 & 11-11:45AM

8:45-11:45AM If your kids stay in worship, check out the worship activity cart in back.

Childcare is offered wherever you see an asterisk: * Questions? Email Brianne Bergfeldt: nursery@vpc.church

Together we'll have fun learning a simple song to sing during the 9AM Worship Service. No robes. No commitments.

No Wednesday night rehearsals.

MentorKids Summer Soccer Camp Volunteers needed!

No soccer experience required.

Tuesday, June 18-Friday, June 21, 5-7PM Paiute Park Soccer Fields Rodrigo: rsilva@mentorkidsusa.org MentorKids is creating community and building leaders in the Paiute Neighborhood! Assistance is needed during soccer camp. Help kids check in, be a friendly presence, and help the camp go smoothly.

Today we remember the sacrifices fathers make for their children and families, and the ways they lift children to achieve dreams thought beyond reach.

We also remember those who helped fill a void when fathers pass early or are absent; grandfathers and uncles, brothers and cousins, teachers, and pastors.

For those who are fathers, we ask for wisdom and humility for the task of parenting. Give them the strength to do well by their children and by You. In Your Holy name we pray.

Amen.

Adapted from a prayer by Rev. Chuck Currie
