  • Pastor Visitations: This summer, as life and church activities slow down a little, Pastor Yun would love to spend more time simply connecting with our church family and our community. It is hard to believe he has already been at Vale for almost 10 months, yet there are still many people he has not had a chance to visit with personally. His hope is to have simple, casual visits, just talking, listening, sharing stories, and praying together. Church is not just a building; it is people, and he would like to know our church family the the community more deeply. Please sign up here or go to bit.ly/valepastorconnect.
