SUMMARY:Learning to Listen When God Speaks Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Valley Church Rm 109\nNo Registration Required\nThis Workshop is open to both men and women—we’d love to have you join us as we grow in faith and community together.\n\nOur God is a God who speaks. He spoke to create us\, and He speaks to reveal himself to us. He speaks to us through the Bible. Everything we need to grow in our knowledge of Him and in our relationship with Him is found in the 66 books of the Bible.  Listening when God speaks is one of the primary ways we grow spiritually. This is a challenging task\, but a skill that can be learned. Whether you are a new or experienced Bible student\, this interactive workshop will introduce or review basic principles of study. In our ninety minutes together\, we will practice using a few simple questions to learn from one Bible chapter. These will further equip you in a lifelong pursuit of growth by listening to God through his word both personally and in community.  \nPresenter: Becky Staab from Valley Women’s Ministry Leadership Team

SUMMARY:Meet Your Missionaries in Africa
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special opportunity to hear from a long-term Valley Family\, the T Family\, global partners who have been faithfully serving in North Africa for 8+ years through education and gospel-centered relationships.  \nDue to the sensitive nature of their work\, we won’t be using names or photos—but trust us\, you’ll be deeply encouraged by their stories of faith\, resilience\, and the growing North African church. They’ll be joined by a few believing friends from the region who will share firsthand how God is moving in powerful and unexpected ways. \nCome be inspired—and challenged—as you meet the T Family and catch a vision for gospel work in one of the most unreached areas of the world.
