On Sunday February 28th, 2016, we gathered as a church to celebrate the completion of our new addition. It was wonderful to be able to dedicate this new space as a continuing expression of our mission and vision for Village Green. We also introduced our Immeasurably More Campaign. A phrase found in Ephesians 3:20, in which the apostle Paul expresses in doxological form, the fullness of his blessing to the church at Ephesus. For the many who laboured in faithfulness…

Last month we asked you to respond to a survey which asked, What makes you return to Village Green? We received 132 surveys, which in the world of statistics, is an overwhelming response.

Talk about getting the upper-hand. Not to be outdone, the religious leaders continue their legalistic tirade, despite the fact…

As many of you know, we take time every year for a spiritual retreat. It’s a time for Darlene and I to get away, pray, read Scripture, and commune with God. Another reason for the retreat is to schedule the calendar of events and preaching calendar. I just wanted to let you know what you can expect in the next year. I’m personally energized by the time away, and believe we have some great series and messages that are going…
