ATTENTION VBCER’S - The Trustees would like to create a Technology Team to evaluate and recommend solutions to our computer systems, camera systems, phone systems, A/V and so on.  This team would meet on an as-needed basis.  This is a great way to serve our Village Bible body in an area of your interest.  Please contact Steve Selby at 281-636-7145.

INTENTIONAL DISCIPLESHIP FOR WOMEN - If you are a believer who desires to become more like Jesus, you are invited to join us as we engage in a year-long adventure in Intentional Discipleship, Tuesday evenings in the VBC Discipleship Room from 6-7:30 pm beginning January 31^ST. The first meeting will introduce the study method, the topics, and the offerings for 2023. The first study session will be the following Tuesday, same time and location. Contact Deb Raboin @ deborahann390@gmail.com or Helen Davis @ hvisdavis@gmail.com.

INTENTIONAL DISCIPLESHIP FOR MEN - If you were unable to attend our Introduction/Orientation session on the 17th, it’s not too late.  You can contact Tony White at twhite491@cox.net for an Information Packet or just show up for our first study session on January 31^ST, at 6 pm in fellowship hall.

GREETERS & USHERS NEEDED - Please consider helping out being a greeter or usher, JUST ONCE A MONTH. This is such an important role in our church and we would really appreciate your help!

BIBLE READING PLANS FOR 2023 – The bible reading plan is available at the South Door, Main Entrance, and Fellowship Hall. 

FIRST AID/EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE – The Trustees are having someone from Arkansas Health and Safety Training come to the church on SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25th at 9:00 AM for a CPR/First Aid Training.  This will get you a two-year certification.  The church is covering the expense for folks that want to participate.  However, I need an official head count since they are bringing the equipment to the church and there are a limited number of spots which means you may not be selected to participate if we reach the class size limit.  I need to know by the middle of next week.  Please contact me directly @ remrogers20@gmail.com.
