I am wanting to try out VDJ tomorrow night on the church kids. I currently have Echo Indigo DJ in the laptop. Can't I just run a cord from my soundcard straight into one of the mic. cables and run through the current sound system?

Yeah, that souldn't be a problem, just check to make sure that your soundcard is plugged into a "line" level input on the mixer (usually labelled either "cd", "line" or "tape").
If you're thinking of plugging straight into an amp, the soundcard might be just a bit too quiet. It would sound fine, but probably not as loud as if you had a mixer.
Best advice is to get there early so there's time to solve any problems.
The other week I turned up at a club and started getting a ground loop humming noise through the system, and I've been using exactly the same setup fro the last 18 months! (By the way, the way I "fixed" it was to disconnect the ground pin on the laptop, probably not a good long term solution though!)

That's for sure, but both of my laptop does that, the humming sound and I've got a ground lifter for it:

Might not be the best solution, but I'm not sure what else I could do... maybe an external sound card would fix the problem also, because right now I'm using onboard soundcard.

Apparently what you need are "ground loop isolators"
