Church in the Valley

We come to church expecting to leave inspired. Many people lead difficult lives with overwhelming responsibilities. Find out how regular encouragement from the word of God gives us the strength to stay faithful. Sunday at 9:00, outdoors or online www.CIValhambra.com

We were excited to welcome Randy Lanthripe as our guest speaker last Sunday. Randy is the founder of Church in the Valley and the Senior Pastor of the Ontario Ranch congregation (@visitchurchinthevalley). Randy spoke on the importance of unity within the church. Living in joyful and devoted community is a priority as we spread the gospel, and our unity demonstrates that the gospel is REAL to a watching world. In this tense time we are going through, lets seek God's help to maintain unity with one another even when it feels difficult. You can hear Randy's message, UNITED, atCIValhambra.com/messages

"Is He worthy? Is He worthy? Of all blessing and honor and glory Is He worthy of this? He is"... When we gather for worship, we are reminded to look up and focus on the glory and worth of God. He is far bigger than any of our problems and he is worthy of our attention and praise.

Last Sunday we were thrilled to begin hosting our first in-person KidZone classes since March! The Elementary class is for K-5th grade students, in a spacious open-air courtyard, with face masks and individually packaged supplies. We look forward to continue this offering each week during our 9am Sunday Service. Contact us if you'd like more info about participating.

Why don't people come to church? Because when they did come they didn't get what they came for. God has designed the church to meet some of our deepest needs, and when these are neglected, it is like a robbery has taken place. Join us this Sunday as Interim Speaker Rick Durst shares how we can guard against robbing God at church. Sunday at 9am, outdoors or online. www.CIValhambra.com
