The Practice
Valley Hope Church
The Practice is a women's gathering to study what it looks like to follow Jesus as his apprentice. This semester we are focusing on the Sabbath. Childcare is provided for PreK - crawlers but we need you to register. Infants will need to stay with mothers. School aged children are welcome to play on the playground.
Community Meals

Together, cultivating communities that live out the life-changing hope of Jesus.
While we know that most people are no longer in desperate need of a hot meal, we know that we are made for community. Please join us as we continue to gather around a table on Monday nights to eat together and cultivate communities that live out the life-changing hope of Jesus.
