Come join us for the Saddle Ridge Ranch VBS this week. We’ll be having fun and learning new things, asking questions and looking for answers. We’ll be meeting from 6:00pm to 7:30 pm. There will be classes for all ages including adults. Hope to see ya’ll there.
James 1:5 says “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”
We will be taking this week off to attend the VBS adult classes. This week, August 16th 2010.
When we return on August 23rd 2010 we will be in chapter 10 of the book of Revelation.
That is, not THE Good News that Jesus lives, but good news that due to the efforts of two intrepid adventurers, we’ve discovered the backup sermons on the church computer and will now work on getting them into the archives of this site again. It will still take some time since there are so many and some of them are large files, but the process can begin now! Thanks Norma and Keith!
After a couple months of being down, our church website is now back online. There are a few existing problems that I’m aware of, such as missing images, and broken links, especially links for past sermons. I’ve had to re-create the website from a backup copy I made in September of 2009.
All the past sermons have been deleted, and we are attempting to recreate them from existing DVDs. This is a time-consuming process, so we ask that you please bear with us. If there is a particular sermon you wish to have, please let us know so we can find it and create a copy of it to place on the website.
I pray now that this website and its resources will be a blessing to anyone who uses it and that it will reflect our commitment to follow God’s will for our church. I pray this is in Jesus’ name, Amen!

This year the Men’s Retreat is in Chatham, Maine again. The date is Friday, October 2, 2009, from 6pm – Sunday, October 4th. The last time we went to the AMC camp we had a great time of spiritual enrichment, fun, and brotherly camaraderie. Come join us!
There is a sign up form on the table at the back of the sanctuary. Please see Austin for more information.
We had a great turnout for Praise in the Park! Thank you all for your support in this wonderful ministry: the evangelism tent, the food booth, the sound and video technicians, everyone who helped set up tents, Crossfire Youth, Pastor Tim, the Worship band, and One Less Lost, and last but most important, Jesus! Did I miss anyone? I hope and pray not! If I did, my sincere apologies.
God Bless You All,
Matt
Praise in the Park has been cancelled for today, but will be held at the same time tomorrow (Sunday) night, from 4-6 pm, Lord willing.
Hello everyone!
The parade is almost here! Tomorrow is the fourth of July parade, and I need anyone and everyone who is willing to walk to come out and join us! We are pulling a small trailer that has been transformed into the ‘Boomerang Express’, and we will walk along with the float and pass out the flyers to the people sitting and watching. We have four hundred flyers so we need lots of help! This is such a great way to get our word out and to put a invitation in each hand!
We will be lining up on the road across from Laconia Electric (right across from the covered bridge on Washington street) at 1:30. The parade is at 2:00, so we have some time to line up and get ready. Our theme is Australian outback, so grab khakis, your Vacation Bible School shirt, safari looking hats, anything looking like your gonna go wrestle an alligator!
I am very excited and hope to see you all there!
Please pray for our VBS program, for the parade, and for every child and adult working in VBS and who may attend VBS!
Please call me with any questions: home 447-6898, cell 662-7377

Just a reminder that our next Men’s Breakfast is on Saturday July 11th!
Currently we have many opportunities for people to assist in the education of our young children at Valley Christian Church. Please be in prayer for all of these openings and let me know if your heart has been touched to serve in any of these opportunities.
Substitute Coordinator: In an effort to have consistency within classrooms and to help me out, the elders have agreed to open this assisting position. This person would be in charge of finding and coordinating substitute teachers for Sunday School, Junior Church and Pioneer Clubs. This person should be available also on most Sundays and Wednesday evenings in the case of an emergency need to fill in.
Sunday School: We have a need for a teacher & assistant for the 5th grade class for July & August. This is a very small class (3-4 kids). All classroom materials and curriculum are provided.
Junior Church: As we move around teachers within our ministries, we will have openings for teachers and assistants for both classes, PreK/K and Grades 1 & 2. Teachers and assistants work as a team on a rotation schedule for 2 weeks and then have 6 weeks off. Age appropriate curriculum is provided.
Vacation Bible School: We have many positions available from classroom teachers and assistants, recreation leaders, nursery workers and snack coordinators. VBS is July 19-23 6-8:30 pm
Pioneer Clubs: Pioneer Clubs will be coming back to VCC in October. Please be in prayer now if you are being called to serve in this ministry on Wed. evenings 6-7:30 pm.
If you are willing to work in any of these, please let me know.
God bless,
Heather Woodward
