Going Away Lunch

Casey is leaving VCC to have a baby! What WILL we do without her excellent leadership in Children's Ministry!

Welcome Center Friendly Faces

Part of VCC's ministry is First Impressions, a very good system of greeting newcomers and meeting the needs of members and guests alike.  This program was implemented by Scotty Sanders and his Admin Assistant who helped tremendously in this ministry was Amy!  A week ago it was good to see Amy hanging out at guest central along with Chrislyn.  Amy, Tommie, Franklin and Truman have moved to the midwest for a new career opportunity.  Amy and Tommie were part of our small group and we miss them.  Check out Amy's blog by clicking HERE.

Committed to Sex

This was at our church this past weekend. Take a listen...

Segway Team Building

I planned a team building activity for our Creative Arts Team this summer.  We went on a Segway Tour!  With the exception of our pregnant staff (Rachel & Sarah) and Collin, our graphic designer who was ill, we had pretty much the whole staff there.  With 8 folks ready to rumble, we begin our training on the Segway.

It was really pretty cool.  The Segway is very pricey too... about 6k a piece.  So the instructors were very strict about how we handled the units. Several of us were scolded a bit for going too fast or "burning rubber".  But for the most past, we all finished the tour in one piece without damaging the segways.

Mothering Sunday

The beginnings of Mother's Day

Mothering Sunday, also called "Mothers' Day" in the United Kingdom and Ireland  falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent   (exactly three weeks before Easter Sunday ). It is believed to have originated from the 16th century Christian practice of visiting one's mother church annually, which meant that most mothers would be reunited with their children on this day. Most historians believe that young apprentices and young women in servitude were released by their masters that weekend in order to visit their families.  As a result of secularization, it is now principally used to celebrate and give thanks for mothers, although it is still recognised in the historical sense by some churches, with attention paid to Mary the mother of Jesus as well as the traditional concept "Mother Church".

VCC Staff Retreat 2

VCC Staff was on Retreat this past week.  We visited The Fish In Midtown Dallas.
Only 6 of the 12 were willing to sample the raw fish.
Jenny H. thought she was ordering cooked salmon!
Other than the Filet Mignon, Ben found refuge in the fancy restrooms.
