The Adult Discussion Group meets each Sunday before the service at 9:30 AM in the overflow area at the back of the sanctuary. This group does not meet during the summer.
GLOW, (God Lights Our Way), our children's program, is held at the same time as the Sunday worship service.
Our Wednesday night program for youth kindergarten through 6th grade is Kids' JAM. It runs 6:00-7:30 PM during the school year.
A staffed nursery is available for the care of young children during the worship service.
Pastor Cathy Nutting,
Pastor VMUMC
Every journey begins with saying 'yes' – and that's true of our spiritual life, too. We say 'yes' to the invitation of God's love; 'yes' to growing more intimately connected to God; 'yes' to growing in love through relationships that create community — with each other, with our neighbors, with all people; and 'yes' to following God together into the future, even though it may be more challenging or surprising than we ever expected. Even though we may not see the entire journey ahead, we trust that God knows the way, that God is already there, and that God will show us the next faithful steps to take together.
