(NEW) LOCATION FOR COUNSELING MINISTRY:
    We are grateful for the provision God has made of a counseling room (Pastor Jeremy's old office) at Valley View. Thanks to Tom O'Handly and Rae Hall for the work done to transform the room, too! Having a segregated room for this purpose not only provides the necessary privacy to persons receiving guidance and instruction from the counseling team, but gives them a chance to work with people on specific issues that require additional attention.
Please keep this special ministry in your prayers so that God can continue to work through all of our couselors to impart the necessary healing to those in crisis. If you feel in need of biblical counseling or know someone who does, do not hesitate to contact the church office @ 755-0193 for guidance.

VALLEY VIEW NOW HAS AN A.E.D.!
    We are very fortunate to have an Automatic External Defibrillator (A.E.D.) on site, thanks to a generous donation to the church. This portable electronic device assists in the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias (heart beats too slow or too fast) or ventricular fibrillations, which can be life threatening events, and temporarily reverses them by applying an electrical charge to the heart (defibrillation) to "re-set" it back to it's original rhythm.
This allows the heart muscle to once again beat effectively, circulating oxygenated-rich blood through-out all areas of the body, especially one of the more oxygen sensitive organs - the brain - before it is deprived too long of oxygen. This life-saving unit is located on the wall in the extended lobby area between the lobby and multipurpose room. A few church leaders have been trained on its proper use, thanks to Dan VanHouwe.
