Notes from our Pastor...

This past Monday, Troy Carpenter, a friend and servant to so many of us, passed away. I can't tell you how much Troy meant to VillageChurch! He and I shared huge dreams for this church. But what's been amazing is to see how our church is bonding during this time and rallying around his wife. I have been absolutely amazed by your generosity and expressions of support and love to this family. This is exactly what the church is supposed to be!

Let me share some info with you concerning the service:
Visitation will be @ Dunbar Funeral Home on DEVINE STREET from 5 to 8 p.m. tonight.
Funeral Service will be @ First Baptist, Columbia's Boyce Chapel @ 11 a.m. on Thursday.

Notes from our Pastor

VillageChurch has some of the greatest people I know. One of them, Troy Carpenter, has been faithfully involved at VillageChurch the past 5 years. He is on our Advisory Team and Building Team and runs the sound every Sunday. This past Monday Troy had a massive heart attack and is in ICU fighting for his life. I have been blessed through this whole ordeal watching VillageChurch surround Troy and his wife Lydia during this time. Pray for God to heal Troy's body and to give Lydia peace. Phil. 4: 6-7 says, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
