Sunday Worship

9AM, SANCTUARY & LIVESTREAM

This service includes music, prayer, space for kids, preaching, scripture, and an emphasis on community.

Music is commonly led by VPC’s Chancel Choir and accompanied by our organ.

10:30AM, SANCTUARY & LIVESTREAM Worship at 10:30AM contains many of the same elements as 9AM. Music is commonly led by VPC’s worship band with drums, guitar, piano, and bass.

Whether you decide to attend a specific service because of the time or musical style, you will find space to hear God’s Spirit and respond through Christ-centered worship to God’s acts of salvation and ongoing transformation in the world.

AWAKEN CAFÉ, OPEN 8AM-1PM

We invite you to connect with the VPC community before or after worship at Awaken! Proceeds from beverage purchases support VPC’s Mission Partners locally and globally. This is a great place to spend time with friends and family; kids can play in the Awaken Plaza and the indoor/outdoor seating provides a comfortable place to relax all year long.

WELCOME!

Teachers and students long for summer vacation, for it means rest and recovery and a chance for travel and adventure. But it can also mean that progress in learning halts or slides backwards. Lessons are forgotten and insights lost. The same can happen if we take a “vacation” from church! At VPC, the summer is a time to keep growing and learning. This brochure helps you to see ways to connect in the coming weeks. Even if you are in faraway places, you can access our worship, devotionals, and other events online. May this summer be a blessing to you in every way, and also a time of spiritual renewal.

—Senior Pastor David Joynt

The Patristics of the Ante-Nicaean Period (Before 325 A.D.) With Bill McKee

Sundays through May 5, 10:30-11:30AM, Room C204 A study of Christian genealogy. Leaders of the nascent Church that followed the apostles lived in tumultuous times. They read scripture from scrolls that may have been originals or recent copies. They had no commentaries, concordances, or the internet to help them understand the context and history of God’s Word.

And yet, they shaped our beliefs today. They became known as The Patristics.

Bill McKee, Adjunct Professor at Grand Canyon University, is a U.S. Air Force Academy and Fuller Seminary graduate and is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Trinity Bible College and Graduate Studies.

Bill, who has led several Boomer Community Group studies, also teaches “The Bible, Economics, and Flourishing” at GCU.
