We are in awe of all that God is doing in and through Vida and the lives of those we serve. We invite you to this year’s Together for Life Fundraising Banquet to celebrate the incredible work being done by this life affirming ministry! Together for Life, an annual spring fundraising banquet, brings together friends of Vida for an evening of celebration, recognition, and support for Vida. The evening features a prayer service, social hour, dinner, speakers, and highlights from the organization.

Prayer Service - 5:00 p.m.

Bishop David Ricken, from the Diocese of Green Bay, will offer this year’s spiritual reflection. Bishop Ricken is a member of the Bishops’ Advisory Council for the Institute for Priestly Formation and the Catholic Mutual Relief Society. Bishop Ricken also serves on Relevant Radio’s Board of Directors.

Vida’s Together for Life Prayer Service is a wonderful opportunity for pastors and our untied Christian community to gather together, bonded in faith, to lift and cover in prayer our patients, clients, and residents. Last year’s attendees had this to say, “I truly felt the presence of the Holy Spirit as I was prayed over…” and, “I was moved to tears by the power of God I felt during the prayer service.” 

Bishop David Ricken

Dinner and Banquet – 6:30 p.m.

Our keynote speaker will be Dr. David C. Forbes, Founder and Pastor of Columbus Christian Center Church and Ever Increasing Life Ministries. Dr. Forbes’s authenticity, wisdom, candor, and practicality are unashamedly Christian, unreservedly life-affirming, and undeniably inspirational in this mission field. Vida staff members had the great pleasure of hearing him speak at last year’s Heartbeat International Conference and are excited to welcome Dr. Forbes to Appleton.

Bacon Wrapped Chicken
Spinach Parmesan Stuffing
Garden Fresh Salad with Dressing
