June 2017 Newsletter

Feed the Kids in the News!


KOB-TV sponsors a program called Pay It 4Ward where New Mexicans nominate people they think are going above and beyond to help others in their community to make New Mexico a better place. Our Feed the Kids liaison and VGC member, Sheryl Stewart, was nominated and chosen for the Pay It 4Ward award for the week of May 23rd!

A ministry friend of Sheryl’s surprised her by nominating Feed the Kids for the Pay It 4Ward award. The $400 placed in Sheryl’s shaking hands will go a long way to helping start new connections of churches and schools this fall. The reporter referred people to the KOB website for more information and we are hopeful many will go there to learn more and donate.

Wednesday Nights at VGC


With the spring semester in the rearview mirror and summer already in full swing, there are a few changes made to the Wednesday night schedule at VGC.
Prayer Meeting will now begin at 6pm in the worship area. From 6pm to 7pm, those who attend will be lifting up the petitions and praises of our brothers and sisters here at VGC and around the world.
Following Prayer Meeting, the VGC Men’s study meets starting at 7pm. The VGC Men’s study just completed the book, “Epic,” by John Eldredge and will now begin a walkthrough of the book of James. In addition to a book study, the VGC men also spend time in fellowship and accountability.
If you have any questions about either one of these weekly events, please contact Pastor Charles at 505-206-3210.

Vista Sisters Spring Recap


The Vista Sisters are taking a vacay for the summer!
We finished our spring semester with a Tea Party for our May breakfast, “Fill My Cup.” Sara Ghormley gave a great devotional that reminds us we do many things but we do nothing without Him. Also, Maggie sang a few songs including the song “Fill My Cup, Lord,” which was a wonderful fit for our theme. What a treat! The food was beautiful, abundant, and delicious. Other breakfast activities throughout the semester included figuring out our fashion and makeup season/color with Connie Martin in March and making Easter napkin rings with Carolyn King in April.
The summer is our time to rest and refuel; we’ll be back to our monthly breakfasts in September (the 2nd Saturday of each month). So, mark your calendars for breakfast at 9:30am. Friends and family are always welcome. Thank you for your support and participation. 
Daytime Bible Study will also restart in September. The study details will be announced later this summer.
In the meantime, if you have any questions about the Vista Sisters Women’s Ministry, please contact Sheryl Stewart, Christie Lord, Karla Davis, or Anna Buster.
