2009 Donation Receipts

Donation receipts for 2009 were mailed out this week. Please compare them with your records right away, and notify the church office if you find any discrepancies. Katey will be away in April and may not be available to help when taxes are due. Please take special note if you gave donations from both personal and business accounts to be sure they were recorded accurately.

Snowstorm Policy

In the event of severe weather, VBC will hold Sunday morning services as scheduled for anyone who can come. Sunday school classes are dependent on whether teachers can get here, and may need to be combined.

Winter Coats Needed

We are still accepting coats for the needy in our community who can’t afford to buy warm clothing. Clean coats for all ages may be placed in the Food Pantry collection basket in the foyer. They will be kept in the annex and given to families who come to the food pantry.
