How can you be used? Meeting each Wednesday night from 6-7:30 starting October 8th through April 15th. There are classes for everyone. Children learn and apply the Bible and scripture to their lives while enjoying some great fellowship. Please come be a part! We are in need of teachers and assistants for the 2-3 year old class, nursery workers, cooks, and subs! If you can help out, please see Heather W.
Update: We are still in the process of publishing our VCC Family Directory. We would like to welcome anyone who is attending to join this directory. Please fill out the form on the back table and return it to the back table. Directories will go to print in 2 weeks. Thanks for your patience!
Join us as we celebrate fall and the Lord’s work within our lives. There will be plenty of hot dogs and chips for everyone. Bring a side dish or a dessert to share and come fellowship with us!
Due to some problems, we did not capture the audio file of the sermon. Sorry! Here are the sermon notes: August 24 2008 Sermon Notes (PDF)
Come join us for a night of food, outreach, testimonies, and great music tonight at Schouler Park from 5 to 9pm! It’s one of our biggest evangelical outreaches of the year, so don’t miss it! Anyone who wants to help should plan to either be at the church at 3 to help pack up the equipment, or at Schouler Park at 5 to help set up tents and the various stands.
Thanks, and see you there!

Have you ever heard of a “cardboard testimony”? Please take a moment to watch this powerful video.
The Praise Team would like to incorporate this idea into the lineup for Praise in the Park (thank you, Sooz!), but we need your help! As you view the the link, please prayerfully consider what your own “cardboard testimony” would be, and then we’d like to encourage you to come to Praise in the Park and share it with the Valley! If you’ve been wanting to be involved in the Praise in the Park outreach but have not been able to commit to helping in a specific area, now’s your chance! We are planning to sing the following song as we all share our testimonies.
I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner, condemned, unclean.Refrain
O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!For me it was in the garden
He prayed: “Not My will, but Thine.”
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat drops of blood for mine.Refrain
He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calvary,
And suffered and died alone.Refrain
When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
’Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me.Refrain
We encourage everyone from VCC to prayerfully consider being part of this witness to our community. Please let me know if you’d be willing to participate. Wouldn’t it be awesome if we needed to storm Sears and the other appliance stores because we can’t get enough cardboard boxes to testify of what our Lord has done in our lives? Our God is so amazing, and we have a wonderful opportunity to share His love with the Valley we live in. Won’t you join us in making this powerful statement about our Savior’s love and the life-changing power He holds in His hands?
So how about it? What would your cardboard testimony read?

I want to encourage you to pray about the men’s retreat happening Sept. 26 & 27 at the AMC/Cold river camp in Chatham NH. What a wonderful opportunity for men to get together for a couple of days and learn more from God’s word and to fellowship with each other. We will get to enjoy God’s creation as we will have the ability to hike, fish and other activities. The cost is $25 and there is a sign up sheet on the back table at church. The money needs to be in by Aug. 31st. If you are unable to go but would like to sponsor someone/someone’s financially please let me know. God bless you all and hope to see you Sept 26 & 27.

We are a church that has been so blessed by children. God has given us many little hearts to look after and train up. With these children, comes the need for people to step forward, maybe even out of your comfort zone, and to work with them as we lead them through God’s Holy Word and guide them with His Truth. There are multiple opportunities right now for you to serve. Please be in prayer for these children and the ministries that VCC provides so that kids can learn on their level and parents are free to learn as well. If you are willing to serve in any of these capacities, please let me know asap. Each teaching role has age appropriate curriculum provided and we have resources available for extensions. Thank you and may God bless you and these amazing children!
