Vineyard Kids Summer Volunteers Needed

Everyone is invited to serve in our kids program for a Sunday or two while our teachers are on summer break. Toddlers spend most Sundays outside in our playground area, and our elementary kids have lego-themed lessons to follow. Sign-up sheets are in the lobby, and please be sure to fill out a background check form as well. (Blue forms are for those who are brand new to helping with the children’s ministry, and the white forms are for returning volunteers).

Prayer & Meditation Forum

Brian Johnson and Glen Hillaker would like to invite you to the Prayer and Meditation Forum on Sunday, July 28th after the church service. Prayer can be daunting and we would like this to be a safe space to help us grow in our connection with God. People are in all different places in terms of prayer in their daily lives, so this is for everybody, no matter where you are at. It really takes community to help us do things that we may be struggling to do on our own. We will have time for us to share our successes and challenges, and also have time to encourage each other. 

Meditation, too, can seem somewhat exotic and esoteric, and adopting and maintaining a meditative practice can be quite the challenge, many people find. “How do I get started?” “What am I supposed to be doing? How do I know if I'm doing it right?” These questions and surely many others will be discussed in our forum, so if you're interested in exploring and/or improving your meditation and/or prayer practice, come on by the forum and join our discussion! 

We are thinking that we will have the forum once a month unless there is an interest in having it more frequently. We will begin with a short time of silent meditation with a discussion afterward.  This will not be a class, but a time for everyone to bring what they have learned in their walk with God. Please note there is a sign-up sheet in the lobby, and please contact Glen if you have any questions at (734) 904-7041 or <papadude56@gmail.com>.

Vineyard Kids Fall Volunteers Needed

Ann Arbor Vineyard loves children, and we are grateful to provide a great Children’s Ministry program for them! Even as we continue to recruit volunteers to finish out our program for the summer (yes, we need you - please sign up today), we are also looking ahead to the fall.  We need to split the elementary class into two as our numbers have grown, which means we will need more assistants and head teachers for the fall as well.  Please pray about whether you can volunteer once or twice a month - for any age group.  The out-of-class time is minimal.  Please see Barb Hillaker if you are considering this or have questions, and there is also a signup sheet in the lobby.

We're Under Construction

We are installing new doors in the north and south hallways for our daycare tenant to comply with state regulations. During the construction, please be cautious and avoid damaging the newly installed doors. 

Giving

If you think of Vineyard as your church home, giving regularly is a way to be a part of the work we’re doing in and outside of our church. We love that we get to play a part in the generosity God extends to others through our benevolence fund, Easter giveaway, Sunday celebrations, ministry of presence, and more. You made it happen through your prayers, service, and financial gifts!

Homeless Ministry Donations Needed!

Homeless Ministry could use specific donations of chocolate Ensure, canned soup (with a pop-top, NOT condensed), granola bars, tuna in packets (NOT canned), and bottled water. Questions? Ask Pastor Shaun at shaun.walker@annarborvineyard.com or text him at 734-945-7670

Sunday Morning Prayer

Youth Group

6th-12th grade students are invited to gather in the youth room on the first and third Sundays of the month during the service from 11:00am-12:15pm. We start youth group with a game or an activity. There are donuts or some type of treat followed by a quick lesson and faith based discussion. We typically end by sharing prayer requests.
