Announcements

Easter Sunrise Service – This Sunday, April 20, join us at Community of Faith UMC for a combined Easter Sunrise Service at 7 am. There is no seating available, so please bring your own lawn chair or plan to stand. If you’d like, you may bring fresh flowers to decorate the cross.

We will have our regular service at 8:30am on Facebook Live and at 10 am in our sanctuary.

Vale Forever – The Vale Forever Fund Campaign continues to advance thanks to the generosity of our congregation. We announced this special effort just one month ago and have already reached $400,000 (80%) of our $500,000 phase one goal. Many thanks to all of you who have already stepped forward with your support, as well as those who are prayerfully considering what you may do. For more information, click here

Spring Cleanup – On Saturday, April 19th from 9:00 to 11:00 am we will be having the annual Vale Spring Cleanup. This is a very social event, and almost all of the work is easy mulching, pruning, raking, and leaf blowing of the planting beds. If you have them, bring rakes, wheelbarrows, tarps, leaf blowers, and gloves. We’d love for everybody to come help out and be part of this fellowship, since many hands make light work! Questions? Email [email protected]

Bingo Night – On May 4th, you are invited to join the youth group for their Bingo Night fundraiser event! Join us in the Vale Fellowship Hall from 4-6pm for Bingo, a bake sale, and raffle. Donations will support youth who want to attend the Harvest of Hope mission trip this summer, as well as future youth endeavors. This is open to all – Vale, COF, friends, neighbors, and all Bingo enthusiasts! Let us know you plan to attend here.

Tree Sales Debrief – For all who participated in our tree sales, thank you! If you have thoughts on ways we can improve these activities, please join us on Thursday night, May 15 at 7:00 pm for an evaluation and reflection. If you have any questions, ask Mike Martin at [email protected]

Preschool Registration – Registration for Vale’s preschool is now open to all families! The registration fee is $150. To register, or for more information, contact Diane Willard at  [email protected]
