September 6, 2026 - Worship @ VPC - No Condemnation

Join us for this special outdoor gathering, the Second Sunday in the Grove, as we worship together in the beauty of the Redwood Grove. This intergenerational service invites us to engage our whole selves—body, mind, and spirit—as we continue exploring what it means to live and worship as a community of faith. This week’s message, “No Condemnation,” is drawn from Romans 8:1–11. Pastor Jenny leads us into this powerful passage, reflecting on the freedom we have through the Spirit—freedom from the law of sin and death, and a renewed identity rooted in being “in Christ.” Building on the contemplative and embodied spirit of last week’s service, we gather again in a space that encourages connection, reflection, and shared worship across all ages. We are grateful to be together in this sacred outdoor setting and hope this service offers you a sense of peace, renewal, and hope. You are always welcome here.

August 30, 2026 - Worship @ VPC - Love Is All It Costs

Love Is All It Costs “Let love be genuine.” — Romans 12:9 Love is simple—and hard—all at once. This Sunday, we’ll explore Romans 12 and its invitation to make genuine love the center of how we live and relate to one another. How are we moving toward love? And where might we be moving away from it? After a wonderful week away, Chris and I are so glad to be back with you. We look forward to worshiping together! #Romans12 #Love #Worship #ChristianFaith

August 23, 2026 - Worship @ VPC - Open My Eyes

Open My Eyes Learning to See the Unseen Presence of God What if faith is not only about what we believe, but also about what we are able to see? In this message, Naomi Kinsman explores how fear shapes our stories and how God invites us to see beyond fear into a larger reality. Through Romans 12:1–2 and Exodus 1:8–2:10, we’ll discover how God renews our minds, opens our eyes, and reminds us that we are held by a love from which nothing can separate us. 🎙️ Preacher: Naomi Kinsman 📖 Scripture: Romans 12:1–2; Exodus 1:8–2:10 #OpenMyEyes #Faith #GodsPresence #NaomiKinsman #ChristianSermon

Join us as guest preacher Nate Millheim explores the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15:1–7. In this message, we are reminded that there is nothing we can do to make God stop wanting us—and nothing that can keep God from pursuing us with love. Together, we’ll consider what it means to turn back to our Good Shepherd and let him carry us home.

August 9, 2026 - Worship @ VPC - Before the Miracle

Join us for our Second Sunday in the Grove as we explore 1 Kings 19:9-18 and Matthew 14:22-33. Before the miracle, there is often a call to pause, listen, and prepare.

We are reminded of the unshakable truth at the heart of this passage: nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ. Wherever you are, we are glad you are here. May this service ground you in hope and remind you that you are never alone.
