Each of our classes have a weekly take-home sheet that you can do as a family throughout the week.  It includes what we are learning on Sundays as well as ideas on how you can study even more as a family.  It also includes the Monthly Scripture Memory verse for each class.

January 2012 Scripture Memory Verses:

Pathfinders Class (ages 3-4)

Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ, because He gives me strength!”

Voyagers Class (ages 5-2nd grade)

Isaiah 46:9b, “I am God and there is no other.  I am God and there is none like me.”

Explorers Class (3rd-5th grade)

1 Corinthians 10:31 “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”

The self-serve coffee cart will stay downstairs, so you can still grab a cup of joe on your way into the sactuary, but we hope you’ll venture upstairs to order a special drink with a friend. The move should be complete soon. In the meantime, we’ll only serve drip coffee.

Cafe FAQ

Q: Why does the Vineyard have a cafe?

A: One of our core values is RELATIONSHIP. We want worship services to be an opportunity to connect… with God AND other people. But Sunday mornings are hectic and it’s easy to find yourself in the routine of slipping in, finding a seat, and slipping out. The cafe is a great excuse to come a few minutes early and stay a few minutes late.

It’s not about your venti half-caff, no-whip, non-fat, extra drizzle caramel frapp (although that sounds delicious). It’s about catching up with a friend, meeting someone new, and taking a minute to actually answer when asked, “How’s it goin’?” Even if it’s just a few minutes, it’s a start. We hope our coffee is a gateway drug to small groups!

Besides, isn’t it common courtesy to offer someone a drink when we invite them over?

Q: What does the Vineyard Cafe serve?

A: We’re proud to serve Vienna Coffee, roasted right here in Maryville, TN.

In addition to self-serve tea & drip coffee, our baristas can make your favorite latte, frappuccino, iced coffee, chai, or cappuccino. You’ll also find a light snack to help prevent your stomach from growling during the sermon.

Q: How much does it cost?

A: The Vineyard Cafe is completely donation-supported. If you can drop a few dollars in the bucket, that’s great… but don’t let a buck or two stop you from enjoying coffee & conversation.
