The Annual Meeting of the Congregation and Corporation will take place on Sunday, February 1, immediately after the worship service.  Please plan to attend, if you are able.

 We’d love to have you join us!

The meeting will be:
Tuesday, February 10

Our study this year is:
PCUSA:  Finding Resilience, Joy, and Our Identity in Jesus Christ

Meet September — May the second Tuesday of each month at 10:30 a.m. in the Church Library.

Books are available and cost $14.00.
To order a book or for more information, please contact Glenna Pool at 419-789-9446 or e-mail gpool205@yahoo.com. .

All are welcome to gather for lunch together at Buckeye Café (located across from the church in Tanglewood Square) at noon on the second Tuesday of each month (February 10, March 10, April 14, etc.) for a time of good food, great coffee, and even better conversations.

Inviting all folks from 12-100 years of age, who like to knit or who would like to learn, to be a part of Valley’s Knitting Group.

The group will meet Sundays, 12:00 – 1:30 p.m.:
January 11 & 25

This group has been busy knitting prayer blankets and shawls for members of our congregation. It takes a lot of yarn to knit or crochet these items. Many of us have made items in the past but have not used quite all of the yarn. Knitting for Others can use the leftover yarn to make items to share with others. If you have any bulky size-5 or 6 yarn that you will not be using and could share with Knitting for Others, we certainly would appreciate your donation. Yarn can be left in the box marked “yarn” in the Library. Thank you so much for your help.

Fom the Cokesbury book page:

Dysvangelical names a theology that is distorted, dysfunctional, and dystopian, twisting the good news of God’s grace into a message of fear, partisanship, and exclusion.

In Being Presbyterian in a Dysvangelical America, Ted V. Foote Jr. and P. Alex Thornburg speak directly to Presbyterians who are disillusioned and confused by how Christianity is being misused in American culture.  So often, our beliefs as faithful Christians do not line up with the shouted chants and disturbing actions taken by those claiming to represent a true vision of Christianity. 

Twenty-five years after their best-selling book Being Presbyterian in the Bible Belt, the authors return with fresh urgency to affirm the heart of reformed theology and what it means to be truly evangelical in a time of theological and cultural distortion…to rediscover what is right and live into a gospel that is still good news for all.

This will be a hybrid study format (in-person in the church library and on-line) – meeting on Monday nights from 7-8:30 p.m.  Books will be available in the church office for $15.

Meeting Dates:

February 2 and 16, March 1, 15, and 29
