Open House This Sunday

Two years ago we set sail in a new direction as Virginia Hills Church.
Believing God had a big job for us to do, we set out to finish our building
in order to fill our building. We have a few loose ends still
to attend to but we sure have come a long way. And we have you (the VHC family)
to thank for that. Thank you for putting up with living out of boxes for over a year
as we set up and took down our equipment while meeting in the Fire Hall. Thank you
for living with the inconvenience of placing your children in the nursery at one location
and attending our worship service in another. Thank you for adjusting to different
and fewer service times. Thank you for giving our new music and worship style a chance.
Thank you for getting our home based Bible study off the ground with such great success.
Thank you for putting up with a dusty, gravel drive way and parking lot. Thank you for
being willing to move back into an unfinished auditorium that had dusty concrete floors
and Sheetrock dust floating through the air. Thank you for overlooking my many managerial
blunders; when I promised to have something finished or inspected by a certain weekend only to
have it postponed again and again. If you did complain or were unhappy; thank you for making me feel
like you were having the time of your life.
The last two years has been the scariest, most nerve racking, most vulnerable, most fulfilling, most adventurous,
most joyous time of my life. Thank you for sharing it with me.

Great Things Are Ahead!
