The Parish of the Valley Advent AppealThe Parish of the Valley's Advent Appeal is our annual Parish-wide stewardship initiative to support our local congregations and the various ministries they graciously provide. The Parish of the Valley’s Advent Appeal is now entering its sixth year. Together over these last five years we have raised $85,000 to support the many and varied ministries of our local congregations right across the Valley. By now, you should have received your Advent Appeal letter in the mail. Please prayerfully consider how you might be able to support the ministry of your local Anglican Church this holiday season, as together we continue in the work of living out God's mission on earth. Whether it be in Messy Church, in the making and serving of food, in offering pastoral care to one another, in keeping the lights lit in our churches and their doors open for worship -- our local churches and our Parish are stronger when we come together in God’s presence to magnify God’s love and joy in our lives. You can download this year's Advent Appeal package electronically, or give to the Advent Appeal online, by clicking on the link below. Thank you for your generous and faithful support of the Parish of the Valley Advent Appeal. |
