PERSONAL MESSAGE
Chuck & Jen
At The Village Chapel our desire is to live the Word of God through Worship, Outreach, Relationships, and Discipleship. We believe that if we focus on Worshiping God in Spirit and Truth that God will present opportunities for us to reach out to those who need Jesus, grow in our relationships with one another, and go deeper in our walk with Christ as Disciples.

As the Pastor of this church my desire is to serve you. If there is any way I can serve you please feel free to contact me.

Knowing that "borrow" usually means without repayment? Are we as Christians to learn to give and not expect in return, when it comes to family?"

This is a great question because it happens more than you think. There are a couple of issues that you address here and I want to address each individually and then give you complete answer:

First, is that they are family so they are held to a different standard than friends or other people. Most people try to treat it as a business transaction but you really can't. Preserving the family relationship is first and foremost. This means you are more amiable to helping them and more graceful when the plan doesn't work out.
