Forging 2016 Series: Tale One

Forging 2016 Series: Tale One

The first tale in our short series discussing the momentous achievements, struggles, and even failures we overcame and experienced on our 2016 Forging trip to Red River, NM.  Join us in this first tale as we discovered what it means to bear each other's burdens, and have our souls flourish through the struggle.

Small Service

Small Service

We have been imprinted by our creator to feel a connection to our fellow man. One that calls us to reach out, to help, to seek ways to serve those we are closest to, our community, and really to all those who are less fortunate or in need. These are 5 small acts of service our Seekers answered when called.

Memorials

Memorials

On a day we set aside for remembering, we also want to take a look at what that means. And shouldn't it be more than one day?  VLA thinks so, and we have trips put in place for just that sort of thing.

Breaking the Sound of Silence

Breaking the Sound of Silence

Ten thousand people, maybe more, people talking without speaking, people hearing without listening... as big as the world has become, as crowded as it has become, our ability to become isolated in the crowd or lost in the masses has increased with it.  And yet, deep inside our souls, we are begging to break that isolation, that silence; and in doing so have our voices heard, have someone recognize we are there, and really listen to us.  For it is in this acknowledgement we become fully known, we start to heal or progress in our lives, and when we finally truly find joy.

T.M.M and VLA

T.M.M and VLA

Time. Moments. Milestones. Some themes of the sermon series my church is doing, and are the things that separate VLA from so many other programs.  They also happen to be timeless principles we are slowly losing on our upcoming generations.  See why these concepts are the key to taking tender loving care to a whole new level.
