Valley Parent Support Programs
Parent Roundtable Discussions
It's good to be able to discuss everyday nuts and bolts parenting topics with other parents. We want parents to be able to support each other and talk about what works and what doesn't. Parenting Round Table Discussion topics take on very practical concerns like: dating, homework, discipline, allowances, cars, pop culture, school, friendships, freedom, internet, curfew, communication, and more. Look for the date and time of our next Parenting Roundtable Discussions on our Students Event Info page. Please contact JJ MILLER to let him know you're planning to attend.
Student Ministry Family Nights
Valley’s student ministry invites all parents and students to participate in Family Night events. We will discuss directions of all student ministry programs, upcoming events (mission trips, camps, outreach events, and everything in between). We will also discuss ways to improve our communication and involvement with parents about our student ministry vision and program.
Look for upcoming dates on our Students Event Info page. Hope Grows Garden
Each Spring we have a small gathering to honor and remember all children lost too soon. Join with others as we pray for families and plant two small memorial gardens. All are welcome, whether you've lost a child or would just like to share support and encouragement for others. Please contact Jeff Collins to find out more and to let us know you're planning to be there.
