Except for Christmas Weekend (see above), our worship times will be Saturdays at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 9 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. The Advent series runs from Dec. 2-31.

Thanksgiving Service & Baptisms

Our annual Thanksgiving Service is Tuesday, November 21, at 7 p.m. in the Sanctuary. This inspiring worship service will include giving thanks for what God has done for us and our church, inspiring music, and baptisms! As usual, there will be pie afterward!

What's Your Next Step?

Let the conversations begin! As announced at the Annual Meeting, this fall we’re inviting every person at church to have a chat with a Valley leader and take a next step with Jesus. If you’re part of a group or serving at the church, your leader will be engaging with you soon about ideas for your next step. If you don’t have a group leader, no problem! Visit Connect Point after a worship service, or call us at 860.673.6826 and we will set up the conversation for you.
