VBC will once again be participating in the Mercy Ministry Holiday Food Box Distribution for Thanksgiving. In previous years actual boxes of food were taken to the schools. This year, because of the virus, we are sending a $60 food only gift card to about 50 families in the Mountain Pine and Fountain Lake school district and some families in our church along with a letter from the pastor. We are asking that you prayerfully support these families by making a donation of any amount. checks need to have "Mercy Ministry Holiday Fund" in the memo section or stop by our table on Sunday, November 1, 8, & 15. This offering provides food for families during Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.
