Children
Our God cares about families and children specifically. And our children need parents and grandparents who will bring the Gospel of Jesus home, in practical ways. This Sunday, we’ll finish our series on Bringing the Gospel Home when we consider how to make Jesus known to our children.
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 A Safe Place, this week.
Looking ahead:

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.
Ladies! Please mark your calendars! June 10, 7 pm is our first Night of Encouragement at Kim Cordes’s home. Pick up a postcard invite at the welcome center. Come and bring a friend!
Picnic: June 22 will be here before we know it! Hubby’s Hot Dogs will be back for our annual VCL Picnic at Whytegate Park following the morning service. Sign ups begin next week (June 1)!
