Lunch with the Pastor
June 7 | 1:00 p.m. | Village Tavern
One of our favorite ways to get to know someone new is at the “kitchen table!” The first Sunday of each month, Pastor Craig, his wife Beth, and a few members of our church go out to lunch after church with any visitors who are interested in learning more about Village Church East. We promise, we won’t ask you intrusive questions… we’d love to just take you to lunch and get to know you!
Summer Picnics
June 14 | Village Church East
At Village Church East, we know one of the best ways to spend time together is over a meal! We love our tradition of pot-luck picnics on the second Sunday of the summer months. This is a great opportunity for those newer to VCE to learn more about opportunities to get connected. And friends and guests are always welcome!
We’ll provide the plates and utensils. We ask that everyone who is able brings a dish to share. Not sure what to bring? Those with last names beginning with A-L can bring a main or side dish, last names M-Z can bring a main or a dessert.
Men’s Breakfast
June 20 | 7:00 a.m. | Brunch Cafe, Roselle
Men, this monthly event is just for you! Come together over breakfast for a time of prayer and fellowship. This is a great opportunity to get to know other men from VCE, or to bring a friend. If it’s your first time attending, then breakfast is on us! See Darren Gruett with any questions.
Upcoming Baptism Class
June 20 | 9:00 a.m. | Village Church East
Thinking about baptism? We are hosting our next baptism class soon! This is a completely no-commitment, informational-only environment. Whether you are just curious about what Jesus taught, or you feel like baptism might be your next step, we’d love to chat. Please connect with Pastor Craig in person—he will gladly set up a time to meet and share what VCE believes about baptism.
Father’s Day
June 21 | Village Church East
Come celebrate and honor all the great men of our church on this special day! We invite you to join us for a morning filled with love, fellowship, laughter, and appreciation as we recognize the incredible impact men make in our homes, church, and community every day.
Each man will receive a special gift as a small token of our gratitude and appreciation.
