A New Class on Moses
Thursday afternoons at 1:00 p.m. beginning January 17 Please join us as we begin a six-week study on Moses, the reluctant prophet and one of the most important figures in the Old Testament. This study by Adam Hamilton covers the life and the journey of Moses and the Israelites as they leave the bondage of Egypt and spend 40 years in the wilderness. Adam Hamilton retraces this journey through the book and the accompanying DVD and, in doing so, raises important questions for our faith journey today. Join us at 1:00 p.m. on Thursdays, starting January 17 and running for six weeks. The class will be co-facilitated by Marcia MacDonald and Liz Haynes. Books will go on sale beginning in late December at the Faith Formation kiosk after Sunday morning worship. The cost will be $12.00. Mission Breakfast

The Mission Outreach Committee conducts the Noisy Offering, which is collected on the 5th Sunday of the month when they occur (4 times per year) during announcement time just before Sunday worship. Members of the Mission Outreach Committee pass metal buckets among the congregation to collect their loose coins. The sound – it’s loud! - of those coins dropping into the buckets make this a truly “Noisy Offering.” The money collected is then counted by committee members and the funds are sent to the specific organization chosen by the Committee from the Committee’s list of organizations supported by Valley Presbyterian Church. To find out more about these missions and the others VPC supports, visit the mission page on this site or pick up a copy of VPC Mission Outreach 2016 guide at VPC. Trouble Hearing in Worship?
VPC has hearing assistance systems in both the Sanctuary and the Spiritual Life Center! If you have hearing aids with the “T-coil” technology, there are loops to allow our receivers (available at the entrances) to feed directly into your own devices. Otherwise, we have over-the-ear headsets available – and, if you prefer, you can use your own “earbuds” or other headphones with our receivers. Don’t forget that sound quality varies throughout the Sanctuary. With a space that large, there are bound to be areas that are less “live” than others. Try another seat! You just might meet a new friend. JAG REPORT
The Session has received the Journey Ahead Group Report which is the result of several months of conversations and listening forums with members, committees, pastors and staff.
