This Sunday, we'll continue our Lent series,
THE HOLY SPIRIT IN LENT. We hope you are following along with us with the devotional of the same name. Complimentary copies are located in the foyer again this week.
Please take a moment to read about our special offering for Harry, Wes, and David that is explained below. We appreciate your generosity!
One more thing of note - our church is one of the participating spaces for the FOTOFEST BIENNIAL exhibit. We will have an opening reception, along with A 2nd Cup, on Saturday night, March 24th from 6-8pm. You can view this exhibit in our Art Hallway on Sundays from March 15-April 26.
We hope to see you Sunday!

As part of our ongoing church financial and staff restructuring, Harry Fritzenschaft will be going part-time in September, while Wes Edmondson and David Gausepohl are exploring alternative full-time employment. The Pastoral Council believes that this would be a great time to show our love and appreciation for their faithful ministry among us! We are encouraging those, who so desire, to contribute to a special love offering that will be divided equally among them. We are accepting contributions from March 18th - April 15th, 2018. Make all contributions to the
Vineyard Church of Houston by check or go to our website's
