It's hard to believe that our first annual FULLY ALIVE event was already a month ago! We are still undone by all that God did and are grateful for each person who came and for those who made the night possible! From Susie Larson bringing a powerful life-giving word to Stephen Glasser, our incredible emcee, to Intentional Worship Ministries & friends leading us in a sweet time of worship...and everyone else behind the scenes (including our amazing staff & volunteers). God used each one in a beautiful way to minister to His Church. He's SO very good! Our hearts are overflowing...and we can't wait for next year!

Our kind and gracious Heavenly Father made space for His people to gather at FULLY ALIVE through the generosity of some really incredible sponsors, too. It wouldn't have happened without them! Thank you to Dakota Medical Foundation Life 97.9, KFNW JDP Electric That's the Dream Farm Bell Bank DJ Colter Agency, Inc. - American Family Insurance - Fargo, ND Zerr Berg Architects Gehrtz Construction Services Rosemary Ackley Enclave Park Christian School Security Insurance & Investments Maple Family Dental David Eggers - State Farm Insurance Agent & a few others who wish to remain anonymous!

It's World Mental Health Day. 🥳 We encourage you to celebrate with us by doing something intentional today to care for your health...think about something lovely or admirable (Philippians 4:8), journal about 5 things you are grateful for, go for a walk in the woods, grab coffee with someone you love, schedule that appointment you've been thinking about (you can call us at ☎️ 701-232-6224), volunteer for a cause you care about, go to the gym, spend time reading Scripture...whatever you do, remember that Jesus loves you, is for you, and is with you.

We are so grateful for our pastors! Thank you for encouraging us, praying with us, and speaking Truth to us. Thank you for consistently pointing us to Jesus and helping us, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to understand Scripture. Thank you for showing up, working hard, and being real. We are so thankful for you!

*Let's not let today (or this month) be the only time we show appreciation and love for our pastors! What if we commit to 'overwhelming them with appreciation and love' all year!?

We hope you can join us for our “Silent Saturday Series.” This is the first of four one-day events hosted by different area churches intended to hold space for the spiritual practice of silence - a good first step toward a slowed-down pace as we journey with Christ together. This first session, hosted by Life Church-Fergus Falls, is open to anyone and is facilitated by Amanda Preston, VCCC Spiritual Director. The cost is $25 which includes lunch. We look forward to having you join us! Register: https://brushfire.com/valleychristiancounselingcenter/silentsaturdayseries1/563275

10/05/2023

We are celebrating Physical Therapy Month! Why!? Well...because God created us as humans with multiple parts - spirit, soul, and body! We can't isolate one part from the other - they all impact each other. Thus, to be more effective in our mission to help people become more FULLY ALIVE, we have added physical therapy to our expanding list of services. This collaborative approach to mental healthcare is WORTH celebrating as we see God use it to help more and more people get better faster! Immediate openings! Call us at 701.232.6224 to schedule today!

Looking back over the years that I’ve followed the Messiah, I can now see how intimately He’s been involved in my life. Even during those seasons when God seemed silent and life was just a daily grind, Jesus led, interceded, guarded, and guided my way— all while I was unaware.

A prayer by Susie Larson to close out National Nutrition Month:
 
"You are a miracle-working God. Give me a vision for what freedom looks like for me. Give me faith to believe You for my miracle. Show me what makes me tired. Show me what masters me and slows me down. Help me to lose my taste for that which weakens me, and acquire a taste for that which strengthens me. Heal me from the inside out! Help me to make the necessary changes. I want to participate with You in my healing process. Awaken fresh life in me! Amen." 
 
Mark your calendars for September 12th & make plans to join us for a night of WORSHIP, HOPE, & ENCOURAGEMENT with Susie Larson!

Kiwis, bananas, and cherry juice are packed with melatonin (plays a role in your body for helping you sleep) and serotonin (helps stabilize your mood). Amazing how God has created fruits that will help us calm down and sleep!

"I wasn’t sure what to expect when I decided to participate in a silent retreat. By committing the entire day of focus on God and not talking to others, I found myself depending on Him for companionship more than usual, which was beautifully unexpected. The sessions and questions were incredibly helpful for focus on specific areas, and I left the retreat wanting to continue these reflections. Allowing intentional space to pour out my feelings and silence to listen for God’s reply left me with an amazing sense of comfort and peace. The leaders addressed the times that might have been awkward (such as cell phone interruptions and mealtime) and I found myself richly blessed instead of feeling like something was missing. It was a great experience, drawing me closer to God and comforting in the way that I know God’s love to be, but don’t always make the time to experience. I am looking forward to participating in another silent retreat soon!"

Why did Jesus ask the questions He did and why does it matter to us today? Come find out!

There will be time to spend with Jesus, quietly contemplating what He has to tell you about these questions for your life now. You'll come away having had the opportunity to listen to both your heart and Jesus, helping you grow closer to Him!

One last TAKE HEART ♥️ TUESDAY before Giving Hearts Day! Check out this client’s story:

“I came to counseling after learning that my husband had been involved in multiple affairs throughout our marriage. I was raw, shattered, betrayed, and alone. It felt like my entire life had been a lie. In my counselor’s office, I found a safe place to unravel, to examine the pieces. Slowly she helped me to remember who I was, and through a miraculous work of Spirit, I was also able to remember who my husband was, and who God was. As I worked through my own trauma, by God’s grace, I was able to come to a place of forgiveness and hope. My husband and I continue in marital counseling as we learn new ways to respond to God, life, and each other. I am so thankful for the healing we have experienced.”

It’s another take ❤️ Tuesday! God has been using the professionals here at VCCC to inspire hope, change, and healing. Here is a story from a client who experienced just that:

"I was struggling a lot with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and financial stress. Not much was helping, so I decided to give counseling a try. When I first met my counselor at VCCC, I was extremely nervous and did not know what to expect. The counselor was able to see past my insecurities, and with the help of the Holy Spirit, I began to make healthy changes in my life. I learned how to reframe my thoughts, and the importance of praying against unhelpful thoughts. I added activities that promoted growth to my daily routine, and started sharing this new understanding of life with friends and family. I am so happy I gave counseling a chance!"
