Take hold of that
This Sunday we’re celebrating our 50th anniversary weekend at VCL. God has been so good to us. And we know he’s not finished with us. But in Joshua 1:6-9, we will find strength and courage to face what is to come! We will face it with the hope and promise that God will accomplish his work in us and through us.
General Announcements
First Hour starting June 1: Discerning Spiritual Paths led by Carol Marshall and Bryan Just. This summer in our first hour class we will be exploring different ways of connecting with God. Are you ever jealous of someone else’s spiritual walk? Do you ever feel that the things that seem to help other people in their spiritual life just don’t work for you? Join us as we discuss different ways of growing close to God and discover how God has uniquely wired you to relate to him.
Missionary of the week: Please pray for Scott & Jeanne, this week.
Looking ahead:
6/03 Red Cross Blood Drive 1-6 p.m.

Virtual Prayer Gathering: This Tuesday night, 5/20, 7 pm, we’ll be gathering on Zoom for our prayer meeting. Come join us for a meaningful time of prayer—all from the comfort of your own living room.

Becka Wall’s Summer of Service! - This summer, as I’m taking some time off of work, I’m looking to serve the people around me and in my community. I’m offering my services first to VCL. I’m available for physical labor (such as moving, basic handy-work, painting, yard work, etc.), driving (such as to medical appointments), mending clothes, childcare (I am CPR and EMS certified), or running errands. I’m happy to do any of these things free of charge, but money for gas is appreciated, if you feel so inclined. Please feel free to email me at beckajoyjoy@gmail.com, or text me at (224)-419-0549. (Phone calls will most likely not be answered or received in a timely manner.) I pray that, this summer, I can be a blessing to many of the people in our church family.
VCL Blood Drive—Our next Red Cross blood drive is Tuesday, June 3. Please give if you are able. Appointments are scheduled every 15 minutes from 1:00—6:00p.m. Sign up at redcross.org. Volunteers needed to host people as they come to donate. Please call or email Ed Manzo to help out.
Ladies! Summer is just around the corner. Please mark your calendar for our first Night of Encouragement Tuesday, June 10 at Kim Cordes’s house, 7-8 pm. Come and bring a friend.
