Pastor Update

Hello, YVPCers and Friends, 

 The end to Paula's sermon from Matthew 14:22-33 when Peter gets out of the boat to meet Jesus walking on the water: 

I wonder if faith is sometimes like that.

Not pretending the waves aren’t there.

Not pretending life isn’t hard 

But continuing to move toward Jesus, one step at a time, even when the wind is against us.

Jesus had faith in Peter.

Peter just needed to keep trusting the One who had faith in him.

And maybe that’s true for us too.

We all face storms.

We all have moments when fear becomes louder than our trust.

The good news is that when we begin to sink, Jesus doesn’t hesitate.

He reaches out his hand.

And he keeps calling us forward with one simple word:

“Come.”

Peace, Paula

You are welcome at YVPC wherever you are in your faith journey.

Sylvia has a dream--to plant a native and pollinator garden in our front area that now is mostly weeds.  We are a small church with older members who don't have the ability to do the work of establishing or maintaining a garden on their own.  If there is a group of interested people that have a desire to create a garden that welcomes our native animals from insects to birds, please call the church and let us know.  
Peace and blessings, 
Paula and Sylvia
