Worship
Preview
During our worship services this summer, we will be focusing
on different Anabaptist Common Practices. These practices or
characteristics of Anabaptist communities are explored in Stuart Murray's
latest book, The New Anabaptists. This new book is a
companion to Murray's The Naked Anabaptist: The
Bare Essentials of a Radical Faith, which focused on the core
convictions of Anabaptist faith.
Join us for summer worship as we explore these common
Anabaptist practices and the thought-provoking questions and discussions which
they may raise about our lives today.

Invitation to Agape
Fellowship's Final Service: July 14th at 4:00pm
After 48 years, Agape Fellowship will be having its final service
on Sunday, July 14 at 4pm in the Sanctuary at Valleyview. Many Valleyview
members have been involved with Agape over the years, whether by attending
Bible studies, speaking at services, driving Agape members to church,
supporting Agape financially, and so on...
If you have had a connection with Agape, you are warmly invited to
attend this very special service.
If you think you might attend, please email office@valleyviewmc.ca with a quick note to that
affect. There will be light refreshments after the service and the Agape
leadership would like to know how much to prepare.
Thank you,
Gloria J
