September Happenings
News, Events and Updates from Vienna Presbyterian Church
Connect Your Story to God's Story:
Read The Story, Worship, and Share

You are invited to spend the next 31 weeks giving God's story a chance to unfold.  God goes to great lengths to rescue lost and hurting people. That is what The Story is all about - the story of the Bible.  Condensed into 31 accessible chapters, The Story sweeps you into the unfolding progression of Bible characters and events from Genesis to Revelation. 

And like any good story, The Story is filled with intrigue, drama, conflict, romance and redemption - and this story's true!  Read more. 

Some Changes are Coming to Worship this Fall

Why are we tinkering with worship? Our goal is to help you become better connected to God through our worship.

8:00am Service will continue to be youth-led

9:30am Service will be led by a Worship Band

11:00am Service will feature organ, piano and choir

We believe that each of these services will engage and inspire you in worship. Come at your normal hour, or try something new! To see a sample of the September 7 worship services, please visit www.viennapres.org/bulletin
