Scott & Tracy Boeckley moved to the Village from Laguna Niguel, California. Scott is self-employed as a mechanical engineer. Tracy does Biblical Counseling. Scott was raised with a “faithful” Catholic background but his family became disheartened. He came to know Christ in 1992 and was very involved in the Saddleback Church. Tracy accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior 15 years ago. But that is her testimony to tell. Please be sure to welcome Scott and Tracy into the VBC family!
Thanksgiving Mercy Ministries
Once again Village Bible Church will be providing food for about 60 families with children in the Mountain Pine and Fountain Lake school districts as well as in our church family. Last year, because of the virus and lockdowns, we sent families Walmart food-only gift cards through the mail. It worked wonderfully, so because of that success, we are going to make this a regular way of getting food to families. We will use Brookshires this year. The cards will be $50 each and sent in an envelope with the Pastor’s letter. Any donations of any amount sent to the church with “Mercy Ministry Holiday Fund” in the memo part of your check would be greatly appreciated or stop by our table today to donate.

Do you receive the VBC newsletter via U.S. mail? There is a small group of volunteers that assemble and prepare them for mailing - And we could use a few more helpers.

We wrap things up around 1:30.

On Orphan Sunday, Christians stand for the orphan. We are a people called to defend the fatherless…to care for the child that has no family…to visit orphans in their distress. Each event is locally-led. Sermons and small groups, concerts and prayer gatherings, shared meals and youth activities—each rousing believers with God’s call to care for the orphan, and what we can do in response. From many sources, one voice. Each November, thousands of events will echo across America and around the globe, all sharing a single goal: that God’s great love for the orphan will find echo in our lives as well. Orphan Sunday is your opportunity to rouse church, community and friends to God’s call to care for the orphan.
