“Sing to the Lord, who has done glorious things.” (Isaiah 12:5, Common English Bible)
Members and Friends of Valley,
After escaping from slavery in Egypt and when pregnant with the Son of God, when gathering as the early church after Pentecost and when shackled in prison – the people of God in the scriptures sing. They sing in praise and lament, to remember and maintain hope, to proclaim who God has been, is now, and always will be.
For many of us, singing is, also, central to our faith. From when we first learned “Jesus Loves Me” to “When the Saints Come Marching In” at a funeral to “Silent Night” on Christmas Eve. The trained and true musicians among us lead singing in worship, but I think for all of us, whether in the pew, in the car, or in the shower, singing is a primary way of communicating with, about, and for God.
This Sunday begins Valley’s inaugural Hymn Madness Tournament. For the next six Sundays (March 1 – April 5), you will have the chance to pick the winners between some of the congregation’s favorites. Out of almost 200 songs that were nominated, there are 64 entrants in the tournament. Each week, the matchups will be sent in this weekly email and available each Sunday. Each week, we will keep track of which songs advance and who got the most picks right.
We will recognize the champions – both the favorite hymn and who picked best – after Easter. The winning song will be featured in worship on Sunday, April 12.
I hope this will help remind us all how meaningful music is to our faith; as well as about and for whom we sing.
In Peace,
Pastor John

Knitting For Others
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.:
March 8 & 22
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.
