week of January 14, 2018
Mondays, January 22-February 12 6:30-7:30PM, VPC Library Coordinator: Bob Selby Are you estranged from family or friends? Estrangement is an emotional distancing, a cessation of communication. It is prevalent and hard to talk about; we want to help. We will discuss reasons for estrangement, how to deal with our pain and guilt, and successful steps for reconciliation. You are free to contribute or simply listen, no RSVP necessary.

Chapel Stained Glass repairs
This week Associated Crafts removed the two panels of stained glass from the Chapel that were damaged by storms last summer and temporarily replaced them with plywood. The repair process will take approximately 1-2 weeks. Once those panels are reinstalled, it will take an additional 2-3 weeks to bring all the Chapel stained glass window panels up to standard and complete additional repairs. Contact Kris for information: krisb@vpc.church
Master Plan Model
We invite you to come take a look at the model displayed in the Church Office. The VPC Master Plan Team and Jones Studio have envisioned a single primary worship space, a new heart for our campus, and a greatly improved facility for families, hospitality, and outreach. Without building any new structures, they have envisioned a way to reorganize and renew our existing spaces that accomplishes all these goals in a way that is beautiful and powerful. It is a transformational plan.
