The Offering
A Night of Worship & Prayer in the Presence of Jesus
Every Other Tuesday
April 2, April 16, April 30, May 14, May 28
7:00 - 8:30PM
Valley Hope Church
We invite you to gather with us as we lay a new foundation of consistent, Spirit-led prayer and worship. Bring "what you have" — your offering — to these gatherings whether that is an instrument, song, scripture verse, poem, friend, your children, paint and easel, a spirit of joy, a grieving heart, or a head full of doubt. Our desire is to become more aware of Jesus' presence — His offering — in the midst of our interwoven stories and let His Spirit lead us to attune our hearts in worship of Him. While childcare is not provided, we welcome your children to worship with us.

Blood Drive
We would like to invite you to donate at our upcoming blood drive at Valley Hope Church on Thursday, May 30, 2024 from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM.
