Good Morning V.G.C. Family,
Thank you to our Deacons for serving a delicious 4th of July lunch on Sunday. Thank you, also, to David Lanoue for adding homemade chili to the menu. It is always good when our church gathers together around the table and tastes good food.
You are invited to join us this Wednesday, July 8, beginning at 6pm in Taylor Hall for prayer, fellowship, and food. We will lift up to God the needs, concerns, and praises of our church, our community, and each other. Let's see what God will do.

In His goodness God secured eternal life in heaven for us, so that no matter how difficult or challenging this life may be, it will never compare to what God has prepared for us for eternity. Perhaps you struggle to believe and receive the goodness of God in your life. Take time this week to read about God’s goodness and ask God to help you be thankful that He is good.
Monday: Read 1 Chronicles 16:7-36. What does this passage teach me about the goodness of God? How will I thank God for His goodness and share His goodness with others today?

Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works! Glory in...
