                                        Welcome to the Valley Friends Church website

                You've obviously already been to the Kiosk, the opening page of this site. The Kiosk is helpful as it gives you an overview of what's new on the site and any announcement the folks at VFC should know about.
                The first box on the kiosk gives the topic that's being covered during the current six week series on Sunday morning. At VFC our Sundays run in seven-week rhythms. First there are six weeks of teaching & worship, then the seventh week is a Celebration Sunday with singing and a potluck. After that we return to six weeks of teaching & worship again and so on... Also on the kiosk you will find the date of the next Celebration Sunday, so people can make their family plans.
                The second box is an introduction to VFC. It's a simple biographical sketch of who we are. Press the link 'About VFC' and it will take you there. At the bottom of the page and in the navigation bar of each page there is an e-mail address that you can access if you have any questions for us, or would like to interact with someone here.
                Next you will come to three sections: The Storehouse, Christian Lifestyle and American Culture. These are our archives. 'The Storehouse' has within it the inductive studies we've done over the years together, and is continually growing as we update it. And since this website is fairly new its taking us some time to get them all in written form, so your patience is appreciated. These studies have created a conceptual base for us to practice what God has taught us in the context of our families, our work and the culture around us. 'Christian Lifestyle' is a commentary of the possible applications we've found that arise out of the Scriptures. When placed together like pieces of a jig saw puzzle, they begin to form the structure of our lifestyles.   'American Culture' represents our on-going examination and commentary of the American culture, which is necessary as we are salt and light to a people that need him.
                'The Ole Meetinghouse' is next. This is our logistical center for VFC. We have items of business, reports, announcements and emergency notices.   Here the partners in the ministry keep track of the everyday things that have been addressed among our community. 'A place to rest' is the last section. This is an audio section with a podcast, music and panel discussions about subjects that arise among us. Here you can just sit back and listen.
               You will also find a link throughout this site that says: 'Topical Index'. This takes you to an index that alphabetically lists all our archives in one location.   Everything that we currently have posted from 'The Storehouse', 'Christian Lifestyle' and 'American Culture' will be listed there.

                                Again, welcome to Valley Friends Church website,

                                               we hope you are encouraged by it.
