What are VBC Service Groups?

These volunteer groups are a two-month (consecutive) commitment of serving on a work crew for events happening within our church. They help with set up, decorating, kitchen duty and clean-up for an event. Usually there are only one or two events to serve during your two-month commitment.

Each group has 2 Service Group Co-Chairs who lead the group (Service Group Committee) and communicate assignments and responsibilities for an upcoming event. Groups determine the menu and plan for providing the meal (i.e. potluck style or specific menu, necessary sign-up sheets available through our member site, work crews, decorations if desired, etc.). 

Do you want to be blessed by getting to know others attending VBC? Here's your chance! Take a look over our service sheets to find the months that best fit you or your family. 

Sign up here https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C054DAEA722A2FBCF8-60472205-service#/ or there is a sheet in the foyer of the church.

The Service Group Coordinator is Jeanne Blackford. You can contact her at 402-322-0664 for questions, or in the event you need to switch months.
