Our next themed prayer meeting will be Sunday evening, July 12th, starting at 7 PM. We will target in on two targets: God's provision during this economic hard time, and the healing and wholeness in Christ of families. If you have needs in either area, please come to this meeting. You will not only receive prayer for these areas but will also learn how to pray with confidence and effectiveness. All invited--VCF members, regular attenders, and invited guests.

Those newly trained in prophetic ministry and veterans in this ministry are invited to our next prophetic team training meeting on Monday evening, July 6th from 7-9 PM. Childcare is available if needed and the office is notified a week before the meeting so we can be sitters. At this meeting we'll share together what God has been doing with us prophetically plus have a time of learning and continue to practice our gifts in small group settings. This meeting is open to those who are members, regular attenders, or guests of VCF members. Please sign up to attend this meeting as sign-up sheets are circulated on Sunday mornings.

Intercessory prayer is a powerful form of prayer that involves actively placing yourself "in the gap" for others. The selfless prayer form produces incredible results in the Kingdom of God. This teaching will make you excited about intercessory prayer and challenge you to grow in it!
