Book Club
The Vale Book Club meets the second Tuesday of each month, September through June at 10:00 a.m. in the Resource Room. During our first meeting, we share our summer reading, develop a reading list for the coming year, and enjoy refreshments and fellowship. Each year our group has gotten larger and our book selections have become more diversified. The Book Club is open to church members and the community. We invite you and your friends to join us.

Questions? call Mary Morran at 540-349-4619 or mmorran@netzero.net

Bowling League
The Vale Church Bowling League consists of 4-member teams made up of singles, couples, and families. Bowlers must be at least 12 years old and do not have to attend Vale Church-friends, neighbors, and coworkers are welcome. It is a handicapped league, so teams/team members with lower averages can still compete and win! The league meets every Friday for 20 weeks, starting the first Friday in the new year and ending just before Memorial Day. If your family wants to have more quality time together, you want to meet other church members, or you are just looking for an enjoyable way to start your weekend, then this league is for you. Please consider joining us Friday nights for fun and fellowship. Contact John Potts (703-620-9293), Bill Skey (703-620-2947), or Bill DuBois (703-620-2448) for more information.

Coffee Hour
Coffee fellowship is a gathering time after each service for visiting with old friends and welcoming new ones. Coffee fellowship after the 8:30 am service is at the end of the hall outside the resource room. The coffee fellowship after the 10:00 am service is in fellowship hall and includes juice and snacks for children.

All coffee served at the coffee hour is Guatemalan coffee from Equal Exchange, a fair trade organization. A one pound bag of whole or ground coffee costs $8.00 and is available for purchase during either coffee hour.
