WORSHIP THIS SABBATH

Speaking this Sabbath is Simon Liversidge, presenting "A Shared Reality with Jesus." In John 10, Jesus takes a common understanding of a good shepherd and adds a big surprise...not only will the Good Shepherd die for His sheep, but He will rise again to give them abundant life. In this parable, we consider three reasons Jesus says He comes to earth: to reveal God and His truth, to offer life through His death, and to build the kingdom of God through His resurrection life. 
Forks & Friendship: Please join Linda Becker’s team as they host our Forks and Friendship potluck. If you are visiting CVC, you are welcome to attend as our guests! For CVC members, we ask that you contribute enough food to feed 8 people.

Upcoming Potlucks
November 22 - Forks and Friendship hosted by Renata Richardson’s team

December 6 - Forks and Friendship hosted by Janya Mekelburg’s team
December 13 - All Church Potluck hosted by Cecilia Liversidge’s team
