The Story

The Story is helping people in churches everywhere experience Scripture like never before. Carefully selected verses from the Bible are organized chronologically. From Genesis to Revelation, you will come to understand God’s story and how your story intersects with it.

The Bible is the best-selling book in history, but how many people are actually reading it?  A Gallup survey reports the average American household has four Bibles. However, research by Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life (2008) found that only 16 percent of Americans read the Bible every day.

Valley is hoping to reverse this trend, starting with its own congregation.  We believe that The Story, a Zondervan best-seller, is the right tool to increase Biblical literacy, helping readers understand God’s story from Genesis to Revelation and how their own stories intersect with God’s.  Consisting of 31 chapters of carefully-selected scriptures sequenced in chronological order, The Story presents the word of God in an engaging format, reading like a novel.  In order to ensure that you have all the tools you need to engage with God’s Word, Valley has committed to provide a copy of The Story to every family that embarks on this journey, free of charge.

The Story Church Campaign is a unique program providing up to 31 weeks of curriculum for children, teen and adult Sunday school and up to 31 weeks of corresponding sermons.  When accompanied by reading through the five age-related books (The Story, The Story: Teen Edition, The Story for Kids, The Story for Children, and The Story for Little Ones), the entire church will be literally on the same page for 31 weeks. Valley plans to begin the experience on January 8th, 2012.

With thousands of participating churches nationwide, The Story is becoming a movement that is bringing wide-ranging benefits to local churches. Many have reported increased community outreach, increased Biblical literacy, congregational growth and a greater understanding of how God’s story reveals the reasons for the things that happen in man’s story.

We would like to invite you to experience The Story.  Sunday services start at 9:00 and 10:30 AM.

The AWANA Grand Prix

Tonight’s AWANA Grand Prix was a GRAND event!  Check out some photos from our Friday night at the races.

Studio 252

Your kids will love this!  Studio 252 is an interactive service for kids K-5^th grade that involves live worship, drama and Bible stories designed just for them.  Our caring (and pre-screened) Leadership Team guides your children each week to know Jesus and make Him known.

We partner with you!  Each week, we’ll distribute these materials so you can learn together…

• Refrigerator Door (for parents) – A weekly update for parents that gives them the Core Virtue, Memory Verse, Bottom Line (key concept), a question to ask kids, and a preview of the next week’s session.
• GodTime Cards (for kids) – These cards help children focus their attention as they spend time reading the Bible and talking to God at home.

AWANA

Awana is a Bible-centered weekly club for preschool through Jr. High-aged children.  We want to share with kids the amazing, life-changing relationship in Jesus and train them to serve Him for a lifetime!

The word Awana is an acronym for the first letters of Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed as taken from 2 Timothy 2:15 – “ Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”

We invite you to come on Monday evenings from 6:30PM – 8:00PM and check out this program filled with opportunities to grow in your relationship with Jesus!

For more information on our program, please contact Pastor Kim, our Awana Commander, at 909-627-8196.
