Valley Presbyterian Church

We begin our summer study of Ephesians with Ephesians 1:3-14. This letter is set up with a bunch of superlatives, reminding us that we are the beloved adopted children of God. What if we lived as if "every spiritual blessing" were ours? Let's take a moment to focus on what God has given us and to soak in the indescribably good gift of being children of God.

God calls us his masterpiece, his "poeima," which can be translated as his poem. What does it mean to be God's poem, God's poetry? As we live out this life-giving vocation, how might we listen for God's call, and use our voice in response? How might we join the artful pursuit of building a more loving world? Guest preacher Naomi Kinsman speaks.

Guest preacher Nate Millheim speaks on living with gratitude.

Today we hear from one of our seniors, Theo!

Why does it matter that Christians think of God as the Trinity? How might this ancient idea change how we view our world? And what does it mean for us in every day life? As we consider Nicodemus' visit to Jesus at night, we'll explore the answers to these questions on this Trinity Sunday.

This morning we'll explore the challenge of faith in our current time and how the story of Pentecost may give us signposts for reviving our lives and communities. Pastor Jenny will be preaching and Aisea will be sharing his story along with leading music.

One of the most powerful gifts of being human is to give witness to each other in the contours of our stories. Jesus asks his disciples to bear witness as he ascends to heaven. How do we become more skilled witnesses to God's love?

Interview Kelly Bean and Evariste about work in Burundi, the joy that comes from giving our lives to another.

Today we go back to the beginning, looking at one of the Creation accounts in Genesis and how it invites us to partner with God in affection and care for the earth. What if we started our conversations about caring for the earth by acknowledging that this is what we are made for? This morning we will rediscover the joy of being a part of all God has made.

Resurrection becomes real when we make it local, considering the place we live and what is needed here and now. Today's service will begin our April focus on caring for the earth as an expression our faith.
