Valley is that prayer is a real cause of spiritual power and progress,
we want it to be easy for you to pray for our church family. Over the
next few weeks, prayer requests from the printed prayer sheet will be
added to the online list, at www.valleyupperroom.org.,
which is now up and running.

You Turn on a Computer?
Yes? Then how would
you like to devote some time at only one service per month running the
slides at Valley? It is not difficult and you will be trained in
everything you need to know. Curious? Then call Lynn Daigle at
