Pastor's Message
Messgage from Pastor Jeff
Vale UMC is a small but very active congregation. We have mission activities that are making an impact in the local as well as global communities. We have fellowship time together, formative Christian activities on Sunday and during the week. Our children and youth programs engage the kids - they are excited to be a part of the Vale family. Our worship includes traditional and contemporary styles - come join us!
Sing and Jam with Us on October 12th!
Our next community acoustic jam-sing will be on Thursday, October 12th from 7 pm to 9 pm in the Fellowship Hall. This is an informal meet-up of musicians and singers of different abilities; beginners are very welcome! If you play guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, accordion, cajon, bongos (or other small drums), fiddle, ukulele, etc. -- we want you! We provide binders with song sheets (folks, pop/rock, country, gospel, bluegrass, etc.). Feel free to bring additional song sheets, or just tell us the key, play the melody and teach us the words; we'll catch on. See you on the 8th!
