Good Morning Friends!
Happy Spring! Kinda. I'm finally seeing some patches of dirty grass, so there's hope (I feel like there's some sort of metaphor about our journey as Christians in there, but I'll let you unpack that on your own!).
There are no new announcements today, but some things to circle back to:
1) Wednesdays! Please remind your youth to bring their Spiritual Gifts book tonight. If they were gone last week, we will get them a book tonight. Last week seemed to go very well, and the youth had some great things to talk about when we got into our small groups. Hopefully these conversations are continuing at home. Tonight Pastor Brad will be teaching, so that is something to look forward to.
2.) Laser tag! Sign ups have been closed down. If you did get your child signed up, we will be leaving directly from church this Sunday (wear breathable, flexible clothing and bring a water bottle). We will go to the MOA, have lunch (bring money), play laser tag, and be back to church around 3ish for pick up. We will have kids text when we're on our way home (they can use a chaperone phone if they don't have their own).
3.) Babysitting fundraiser - April 1st. Continue to let us know if your youth will be able to volunteer for that. We would love to have about 15 youth there, and right now I have four marked down as coming.
Thanks for all of your support as always. We love your kids and appreciate you trusting them with us.
In Him -
Jason, Christina, and Becky

Good Evening Valley Families!
I hope this finds you well...it finds me huddled under a blanket and dreaming of balmy 45 degree days. I'm sure it'll happen soon enough.
Here are a few announcements for this week. Please let us know if you have any questions!

Good Evening Valley Families!
I hope this finds you well...it finds me huddled under a blanket and dreaming of balmy 45 degree days. I'm sure it'll happen soon enough.
Here are a few announcements for this week. Please let us know if you have any questions!
- Wednesday - we will be continuing to learn about spiritual gifts with the adults. Youth should meet in Southside A, where we will play some games and go over announcements. Then we will join the adults in the sanctuary, and finally go back to our small groups at the end of the night. We will be handing out books to the youth tomorrow night for this study.
- Laser Tag - We have filled up the available spots. If you weren't able to get your youth signed in, we apologize...next year?
- Youth Fundraising - the youth are doing their part to help raise funds for this summer's mission trips by holding a babysitting night for families in or connected to the church. Please chat with your youth and encourage that this is a great way to be a part of the larger, global and missional church. Not everyone can be missionaries; everyone can help support missionaries! If your kid is interested in helping out with a particular age group during babysitting (2-3s, 4-6, and older elementary), please have them chat with us. If you youth has been trained in the baby room, have them come see Christina. Thanks for your support in this!

Hello, Valley Youth and Families!
In defiance of that white fluffy stuff falling from the sky, we are loudly proclaiming that it is SPRING QUARTER at Valley!
We're excited to offer something a little different for Wednesday nights this quarter. Christina Anderson will be teaching a course on Spiritual Gifts this quarter. This will be a combined class with the adults; we're looking forward to all learning together!
Finally, we have a service opportunity on April 1 that we'd like to invite everyone to. This is a fundraiser for our Valley Summer Mission trips, but even if you can't make it on the trip, you can still support our summer missions by helping out with a Parent's Night Out. We'll be doing some babysitting to raise money for summer missions! Parents of Valley kids can drop their kids off and get a night out while we have fun and keep them safe. All donations will go to Valley's Summer Mission trips fundraising goal. Are you able to help? Let us know by replying to this email.
God bless you!

- We will then join the adults in the sanctuary for large group teaching.
- Youth will be breaking up into our usual small groups towards the end of our time together for discussion and prayer.

Hello!
Does anyone else feel like today was Monday and Friday all rolled into one? Except it's Tuesday?
Well, I'm sure you've heard by now, but once again the SNOW is messing with our plans ... so it sounds like the perfect week for a Luau!
Our team is hard at work planning a fun time of fellowship for this Saturday, Feb 25, from 5 - 9 PM at the church. Will we see you there? :)
Valley's Ash Wednesday service is POSTPONED until March 1 at 6:30 PM. Join us for a meaningful service to begin the season of Lent.
Spring Wednesdays will begin the following week, March 8.
And finally, we're SO excited to see our TeenServe Mission Trip crew coming together. Our registration deadline is March 1, so if you're still thinking about coming, let us know soon! We're so excited to see what God will do in and through our youth on this summer mission trip.
God bless you and keep you,
Jason, Christina, and Becky
