Christmas Tree Sales –  Our Christmas trees are arriving on Saturday, Nov 23 at 8:00 am, and the second truck on Sunday Nov 24 at 11:00 am! We will need plenty of help to unload and set up the trees, as well as with our sale during the week. The SignUp Genius for our tree sales is up and running here, and volunteers that sign up before Nov 28 will be getting some “thank you” gifts this year! If you sign up for 6 or more shifts you will get a hat, 15 or more and you will get a sweatshirt!

Wreaths by Mail – Would you like to spread a little Christmas cheer to a loved one living far away? After the worship service for next 2 Sundays, there will be a table in Fellowship Hall taking orders for mailed wreaths. Each wreath is $60 including shipping, and is 22 inches in diameter, made of Frasier fir, and has a red bow with 16 inch tails. If you will not be at Vale in person, you can also email Mike Martin with the addresses and quantity at [email protected] to place an order.

AlterNatives – Our partners at the Highland Support Project are returning to host our AlterNatives sale this Sunday, November 24! Come shop for beautiful handmade Christmas gifts and support the indigenous peoples of Guatemala and other nations in the Americas.

Fall Cleanup – On Saturday, November 30th from 10 am to 12 pm, we will be hosting our Vale Fall Cleanup. This is a very social event, and almost all of the work is easy pruning, raking, and leaf blowing of the planting beds. If you have them, bring rakes, wheelbarrows, tarps, leaf blowers, and gloves. We need everybody who is able to come help out and be part of this fellowship!

Advent Wreath Lighters – Would you like to participate in our Advent worship series? We are looking for individuals and families to light the Advent wreath for the in-person and virtual worship services starting on December 1 through December 22. If you are interested, please contact the office at [email protected]

Sunday School Help Wanted – Are you interested in working with Vale’s children? We are always looking for volunteers who are willing to spend an hour on their Sunday mornings to help teach our Children’s Sunday School class. Materials and curriculum are provided.
