Whatever your reason for coming, we are glad you’re here. We would love for you to

together.
You can join the church whether you have been to church before or not. We will simply
ask you some questions about your faith background. If you have questions about the
church or would like to join, please come to the front at the end of the
service, and one of our ministers or church members will assist you.

It’s appropriate that Missions Offering Sunday for Village Parkway
Christian School and Bless Our Schools Sunday are observed on
the same day since prayer plays such an important role in both
programs. At VPBC our day begins with prayer as the teachers
gather at 7:50am to pray for our students, their families, our school
and for the needs of our teachers and staff. Each class as well
begins their day in prayer. In chapel and at lunch, prayers of
thanksgiving are lifted up to the Father for His many blessings. Then
there are those special moments when we have the opportunity to
pray one on one with our students during teachable moments or
with parents asking for direction and wisdom in difficult situations.
Moms in Prayer International sponsors Bless Our Schools Sunday.
Today we are reminded to pray for our schools, for our students and
for our teachers. VPCS has a Moms in Prayer group that meets
every Monday morning for Bible study and prayer. It is such an
encouragement to know that someone is praying for us.
Our church family has played a major role in praying for our school.
Many times your prayers have strengthened and encouraged our
staff. “Thank You” for supporting the Missions Offering and please
continue to pray for VPCS as we seek to grow our students
academically and spiritually.
Irene Taylor, Principal
