Grace Church of the Valley blog.

We are privileged to host Shannon and Danielle Hurley from May 21-26, and we are so excited for the mutual impact this week can have. We have three goals we hope will be accomplished during their stay: 1. Develop a deeper and stronger relationship with the Hurleys, 2. Encourage the Hurleys in the work of the ministry, and 3. Motivate our church to pray, give, and go for global missions. Below is the schedule we’re working out, and I hope you’ll look through it and see how you can be involved with the Hurleys. Let’s take advantage of a golden Kingdom opportunity with these precious missionaries! We have several needs that you can help meet, also listed below. If you can meet any of these needs, please contact Pastor David or mark your interest on the bulletin tear-off.
