Hello, Valley Youth and Families!
We love this Valley Youth community - we're seeking the Lord, sharing our lives, and finding our places to serve. Read on for more about how we're doing that in the coming weeks!

They're getting married!
Two of our faithful adult youth volunteers are getting MARRIED! Let's celebrate!

Next Wednesday, May 1, come to the Youth Room (SSA) for pizza together at 5:45 in celebration of KJ and Tim. (This will overlap the usual church-wide dinner in the atrium, so the rest of the family can eat in the atrium as usual and youth can join us for pizza)

We'll have our usual youth group that night, but we'll add a little celebratory flair to our game time and prayer time, and give students the opportunity to bless their adult friends with prayer, frivolity, and ... advice? :)

Congrats to KJ and Tim!  

Youth-Led Sunday Service
On Sunday, May 5th, our youth are going to serve our church in every aspect of our Sunday morning gathering! We will pray, sing, play our instruments, read Scripture, serve communion, be on tech team - and point our church toward Jesus!

This past Wednesday, we had a GREAT response from the students when they were asked to sign up for roles that interested them! If you expressed interest in a role, you should be hearing more details soon - please reply to those emails so we know who is confirmed for which role.

Below is the order of the service and the roles that are available. If you want to serve in some way and haven't let us know yet, please reply to this email to express interest and we'll be in touch soon
