My Liberty Offering Story

Greetings,  I hope this email finds you doing well.

I have a brand new Liberty Offering story for you to encourage you and get you excited about NEXT WEEKEND!!!!!

This morning I went to great extremes during the service to help you understand the potential in your life of what Liberty Offering is going to be!   I explained that as your pastor, I would feel bad if I did not help you to understand the opportunity that is before you and how I want to make sure that I present this opportunity to be blessed by God.  The link to the Friday Night audio is below, but I have to share this story as it happened to me on the way home from church today.

On my way home from church I stopped at Home Depot to pick up weed and feed.  I was standing in the isle wondering to myself if I should spend close to $50 (including tax) for the Scott's brand that I usually use, or save $5 and go with the unknown brand.  Know this detail because I was arguing with myself that $5 would be 10%.    I decided that I might as well stick to the brand I have used in the past since it did a wonderful job of getting rid of the dandelions!!!    Cara and I made our way to the front counter to pay for this expensive bag while I kind of stewed that it would be $50.  When I got to the register, the clerk looked at me and said that she has two damaged small bags, if I would like to get the 60% off.  I said "SURE".

We went and got the two bags and put the single bag back.  When the clerk ran the two bags, she decided it should be 70% off the second bag.   When I got to the register, I paid $12.   Can you Say "Liberty Offering Blessings"??????    HOME DEPOT just made a contribution of $38 to our Liberty Offering!!!!! 

For more info on what Liberty Offering is, and how the money will be used, please listen to the second half of the audio below.  I believe that you will be encouraged to participate!!!!

Thank you for taking time to read this and listen to the attached audio.   It is the Audio from the Friday Night service!

Talk to you soon,
Pastor Kevin Young

Welcome Pastor Mike and Teresa Patterson

Wow, How long has it been since I have written here?  Well, it's time to introduce our new Associate Pastor and Worship Leader!! 

Pastor Mike Patterson is going to be helping us out and I am so excited to have him join us.  I know that we are so blessed that God would send this family to VCC.

In a few weeks we will be celebrating Easter.  This was a huge change for the History of the Church.  Christ died on the cross for our sins and rose again.  It was the completion of the will of God to pay for the sins that you and I have committed.   Without this sacrifice, we would not be able to go to God and worship Him for who He is in our lives.

So it is entering this season of celebrating the change that Christ makes in our lives that we also celebrate the change that God is making in our church.  Help me welcome Pastor Mike and Teresa!   Friend's Day is March 25 and Easter is two weeks later!

See you at church!!!  (If not sooner)
