Our single members and friends are also encouraged to invite a special friend as a guest for the banquet.

Julie has served as a campus missionary on the University of Arizona campus since 1997 and is now in her third year as Director of Christian Challenge there.

This collegiate ministry engages students with the message of Christ so they can learn to live His challenge on campus and in the world.
All ladies of the church are welcome to invite friends and requested to bring a dish to share for lunch.

Julie works with Missions Service Corps, the statewide Baptist organization where VCC members, Clint and Carol Smith, serve as Directors.

After a brief review of last spring’s information, CJ will continue with the four sins that were not covered last year. They are greed, sloth, gluttony, and lust.

What’s Happening in 2012: January

Big Events in January. VCC is blessed that we received four into the membership of the church, baptized two members, and held a child dedication service on one Sunday in January.

First to be baptized was Bob Gislason, who said that he had attended church all his life and received the touch of the Holy Spirit at the age of 43. Now, 43 years later, he has chosen to be baptized at the age of 86. Pastor Dale Adams also baptized Bob’s daughter Jodi, who also joined the Church.

At VCC baptism is the outward sign of the inner reality of the believer’s faith in Jesus Christ. As a result children are dedicated to Jesus Christ, not baptized until they can make their own profession of faith. Jodi’s son Alexander was dedicated to Jesus Christ and then introduced to the entire congregation.
