“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.” –Eph 6:10 Dear Valley Church Family, As you know, the coronavirus is a serious concern for our church family and community. By now you’ve probably seen the news and heard the various reports. Just this morning County officials announced a new ban…
Dear friends, Acquitted? I think you probably know what it means from a definition standpoint: To relieve from a charge of fault or crime; declare not guilty To release or discharge (a person) from an obligation.

Dear friends, We have been sailing through the Psalms this summer and our ship is docked again this Sunday in Psalm 78! Someone said, “We have in the Bible 66 books: In 65 of these books, God speaks to us In the book of Psalms, we speak to God Much of what we read in…
