I was so blessed to see so many of our young people standing up and being recognized for major educational milestones recently! The celebration of our kids at the party afterwards with gifts, a photographer, and so much more was great to experience too. I have missed seeing us celebrate together, and it did my heart good.

As we “Rebuild” one of the emphases our Vineyard Columbus Leadership Team has been buttressing and rebuilding our Youth Ministry across campuses. Here at VCEC, I’m so excited that Jamie and Rebecca Lutrell are faithfully serving as point persons leading the charge!

What a joy it has been to return and see so many of your faces at services on Sundays at our wonderful campus! Indeed my soul has been refreshed by your presence, prayers, and communal praise of our risen, redeemed and returning Savior, Jesus Christ. Speaking of ‘refreshment’ I wanted to provide some ‘fresh’ and breaking news concerning our VCEC Staff.

Lynn Ungar and Howard Thurman make me reflect upon two things: What to give up for Lent and the reality that even now this can be a season of promise.
