CONGREGATIONAL MEETINGS FOR JULY 7 & 14. In accordance with our Bylaws, the congregation must approve two members to join with one elder and one pastor on the Nominating Committee. We will take nominations for NomComm from the floor in each service on July 7. Then, we will combine the list of nominees and vote on the slate the following Sunday, July 14. The NomComm is responsible for nominating the chair for these committees: Deacon, Deaconess, Trustees, Children and Youth, CORE, Discipleship, Missions, Women's Ministry, Connections, Oasis Food Pantry. The ideal candidate for NomComm will have long tenure in VBC or knows a lot of people in the church. 

SERVING OPPORTUNITIES

LOVE IN ACTION We have been blessed with opportunities to help people in the community. In some cases, a small group may not be able to help, however, the needs were met by the church family, praise God! We would very much like everyone to sign up to receive email notifications when a church or community member has a need. 

The need will be specified in the subject line. You can choose to open the email or not. No reply is necessary. Sometimes it’s an item someone has need for that you want to get rid of. Someone may need a ride to somewhere you are going. No one is ever pressured to give or do anything. You may be moved to say a short prayer. God hears our prayers. If you have a need or would like to serve please contact Laurie Lollar at LoveinActionVbc@gmail.com , 479-249-0349 or call the church office at 479-876-5764 Thank you! 

LOOKING TO SERVE? CORE needs men willing to give the gift of friendship. Two young men in our youth group are going to New Life Ranch camp in July for their first time.  They need men willing to give the gift of time and godly disciplining as they learn to encounter life with Jesus.  Are you willing to give?  Please contact Deb Rosell at 479-719-2331- mikedeb.rosell@gmail.com

MINISTRY OPPORTUNITY: Greet visitors at Tanyard Creek- hand out biblical tracts/share your faith. 

Fri/Sat- am or pm seem to work the best. Flexible times. 2 person teams work well.

An hour or two a month, or as often as you'd like 

Great blessing to others- a wonderful way to share your faith and trust in the Lord!

If interested, please contact Ken or Sandy Fink via phone, text, or email
