Love You Des Moines Update from Sunday, November 20

The vision of LUDM is to expand ministry to our community (neighborhood and greater Des Moines area) so we can share the life transformation we have experienced in Christ with others.

Community Center: As site grading continues, the facilities planning group is working with the design team and Valley Church staff to complete the design. Once completed, the design will be offered to contractors to bid the project. Pray for God's timing in all of these steps.

City Center: VCSM is inviting you to come serve with them at Door of Faith next Sunday (November 27) as they monthly serve in the south Des Moines neighborhood of Army Post Rd. and SW 9th. Contact Jon Kalvig at 975-0664 for information.
