Your grandkids need you desperately, especially as they grow and become teenagers. Often, though, grandparents are the first ones who get cut out of their busy schedules. If we’re not intentional about being engaged with our grandchildren, we’ll be excluded.
So how can you thoughtfully engage with your grandkids? Uncover five ways to get involved as we watch a video of the presentation Mark Gregston delivered at the 2023 Legacy Coalition Grandparent Summit.
Mark is the founder and executive director of Heartlight, the country’s premier counseling center and boarding school for troubled teens. He hosts the podcast and radio program Parenting Today’s Teens heard on more than 1,900 stations across America. Mark has authored nearly two dozen books, including Parenting Teens in a Confusing Culture and Grandparenting Teens: Leaving a Legacy of Hope.
Reserve your spot today to enjoy time with other grandparents, be inspired, and get equipped to connect with the next generation.
Pastor Quintin and Ruth are looking forward to meeting you! Take a few minutes after the worship gathering to chat with Pastor Quintin and Ruth and get to know a little more about Valley Church. We promise to only add 10 minutes to your morning!
Look for the Meet the Pastor sign in the atrium immediately following Sunday worship gatherings—usually about 9:15, 10:40 am & 12:10 pm.
We’ll see you there!
Are you or your student interested in volunteering during the 8:15 am worship gathering? We have opportunities available with all age groups!
Looking for more options? Check out the Compassion website!
We all want to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with our world. But some of us aren’t sure where to start, or how we should make connections in the first place with people who are explorers, skeptics, or doubters… or just unfamiliar with Christianity and the church.
Check out our great one-hour workshop where we explore how we can share our faith in the shifting cultural climate. Participants will walk away with strategies and next steps rooted in community, accountability and ongoing love and support. We hope to see you there!
No advance registration is required.
Location: Valley Community Center

We invite you to join with other women and celebrate God’s Amazing Grace for us this 2021 Christmas Season. This year’s BASH will be the BEST yet! It includes a wonderful time of fellowship around a table enjoying a delicious luncheon, delightful music and our inspiring Guest Speaker, Jen Schmidt:
For over a decade, Jen Schmidt has been encouraging, challenging, and cheering on women to embrace both the beauty and bedlam of their everyday lives on her lifestyle blog, Balancing Beauty and Bedlam. A popular speaker, worship leader and the founder/host of the annual Becoming Conference, Jen shares with humor and authenticity as she invites others to join her on this bumpy, beautiful life journey. As the Lifeway author of “Just Open the Door: How One Invitation Can Change a Generation,”
