Keeping Marriage Vital

Hi VC’ers

To brighten up Winter I’d like to offer a marriage seminar Saturday, February 4th from 9am to noon. Let me know if you’re interested by replying to this. Judging by the cheer that went up when I announced this last Sunday, it sounds like we’ll have a lively group.  Bring enough healthy and unhealthy breakfast food to share, and I’ll provide coffee and tea. BYO mug, pen, paper, and Bible. I’m going green: no handouts, no photocopies, no power-point (I don’t know about you but I usually take all the binders and handouts home, mean to reread them, put them on a shelf, and forget about them). I’m working on getting childcare; I’ll let you know when it’s secured (If you have someone else to leave your kids with that would reduce the need/cost; if any of you have good leads for childcare I’d be glad for the input). Suggested donation of $10 per couple to cover heat and childcare.

Peace,

Dave Barr

Starting next Monday, January 9th at 3:30 pm we will be kicking off our VC Moms group. You can come as early as 3:15 to meet the babysitters and get your kids settled in. The Mamas will be meeting in the studio space upstairs that we meet in on Sunday mornings and the kiddos will be below in the playroom (feel free to bring nut-free snacks for your kids if they’ll want something). Please bring a few bucks to pitch in for childcare if you’re able. We look forward to a time of sharing our lives, encouraging one another, and growing as we journey together!
