Project Esperanza Benefit

Project Esperanza is having a benefit poetry reading on April 17th at 9pm at Gillie’s restaurant—that’s this Thursday. We’d love for you to attend and enjoy the evening, and we’re looking for poets and writers to read their work! If you’re interested, contact [email protected].

vtONE Gathering and Prayer Week

vtONE will be hosting a gathering starting at 8pm on April 15th, in Squires Commonwealth Ballroom. This event will be somewhat informal and low-key; you are invited to bring a blanket with which to sit on the floor. We will gather to worship, pray, and proclaim God’s power through tragedy. There will also be daily prayer at noon the week of 4/14 – 4/18. Each day we will gather at the Burruss flagpoles to have a short time of worship, and then extended prayer on a specific topic each day. We hope you can join us!

Low-key vtONE event in April

From the vtONE leaders: We are in the middle of organizing a gathering on the evening of Tuesday, April 15th 8-10pm similar to a regular vtONE worship event but different in many ways. This event will be very low-key, with no full production setup, no stage, and no (well, few) chairs. The main thing we want to do is simply bring people together. There will be some musical worship, a time of sharing what God has done in the midst of tragedy, and prayer interspersed throughout. We’d also like to let you know that we will be hosting daily prayer at noon, for the week of April 14 – April 18, at the Burruss flagpoles. Like last year, we will have a short worship time, then extended prayer on a different topic for each day. Hope you can join us!

vtONE Worship Event Feedback

Hey all! We would love it if you would take just a few minutes and give us some feedback on what you thought of January’s vtONE worship event. The survey link is here. These survey results are crucial in our planning of future events. Thank you for your time! In Him, Josh and vtONE leadership

Calling photographers, sculptors, painters, writers

This Easter, March 23, nlcf will be having a “display of light” throughout our worship services. Take a picture or create a work of light: something that displays qualities of light, or presents light in any way, nature, cities, animals, people… whatever. On Easter morning, we will have gallery of images, text, and 3D items around the room. Anyone can participate! Find what inspires you, ask God to give you eyes to see beauty all around you, and have FUN creating something that demonstrates the significance of light to you. Send your photograph, writing, or a description of what you’d like to physically display to [email protected]. All submissions should be sent by Tuesday, March 18.
