A WELCOMING COMMUNITY

This week, we will celebrate

World Mission Sunday. Its theme this year is

Mission at the Heart of the Christian Faith, and it

once again gathers us around the person of Jesus, the

“very first and greatest evangelizer” who

continually sends us forth to proclaim the Gospel of the love of God the Father in the

power of the Holy Spirit.

The Church continues the mission of the Son and the mission of the Holy Spirit by

proclaiming to the ends of the earth the salvation Christ offers those

who believe in him.

For our ninth year, the women of Our Lady of the Valley and our

prepare our hearts and minds for the Advent season and the TRUE meaning of Christmas,

the birth of Jesus.

We are currently seeking table hostesses. A hostess decorates

her table with anything from paper products to china and

provides dessert for her guests. Co-hosting is fun if you would like a friend to share the work. As a hostess you could fill your

table of eight with friends or family (including yourself) or we

could fill it for you from our general reservations.

Hostess signup will begin the weekend of

October 21-22 and next weekend

October 28-29.

General Guest signup will begin the weekend of

November 4-5.

It will be an evening of fellowship, beauty, and serenity.

We hope you will join us!

Reservations for the evening are expected.

in the gathering space. There is no cost.

Free-will offering will be accepted.
