My orange chair story is probably different from most.  I came to Green Valley in 1993 and yes, the orange chairs were there then!  When I asked, why orange chairs, I was told it was an ordering error, years before.  Now that sounded reasonable, but I wanted so badly to replace them.  The following year I was invited to become a staff member at GVCC.  For the first few months my montra was "Let's get rid of the orange chairs", Let's get rid of the orange chairs!  However, I quickly learned that there were many more important things to spend dollars on than replacing orange chairs.  Loving God and loving people had absolutely nothing to do with getting rid of those orange chairs. Suddenly I learned that filling those chairs with lost and hurting people was the most important thing ever!  The rest is history.  Many have found Christ sitting in those beautiful ORANGE chairs!  Lives are changed every week.  I love them and all of you!
