New Parking Lot is Ready! Instructions...
New Parking Lot is Ready!
Great news everyone. The days of parking between the two houses are over!
The new parking lot has been filled and graded. By design we will not pave it until the building project is nearing completion next Fall. What we have is a nice even surface on which to park and walk.
We ask that you begin parking there immediately. You may access this parking lot by coming in and turning to the right past the shed and the new garage building. The new parking lot goes nearly all the way to the wall on the boundary of the property to the north. Please refer to the attached drawing.
When you park in that lot the best access to the church building will be the back door to the welcome center. At this time there are still steps to this entrance. If you can navigate steps well, please consider parking in this lot and using this entrance to save other spaces for people who need a ground level entrance.
We could use a couple of people helping direct traffic on Sunday so everyone can get the idea of where to park since there are no lines in the new area. If you can help with this please contact Bud Barger at 920-428-9217 or nrbarger@att.net.
I also want to express my admiration for the Valley church family in how you have coped with the parking thus far. This is not surprising to me, but I wanted everyone to know how much I appreciate your response to the adjustments that have needed to be made.

BUILDING PROGRESS
Quick Look:
Our next phase of building will provide opportunities for the Valley family to flourish for years to come. The 500-seat worship center used for multiple services will allow us to grow to up to 800+ people!
Imagine the ripple effect of those people encountering Jesus Christ each week and impacting the world for the glory of God!

"Between the Cross and the Tomb"
A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to preach to a group of pilgrims visiting the Holy Land. We were at what is known as the Garden Tomb. There situated between the hill called Golgotha, the place of the crucifixion of Jesus, and an empty tomb I presented a message about living between the cross and the resurrection.
Between the cross and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ was a moment of intense testing of the faith of the followers of Jesus. Everything they were seeing and experiencing challenged what they believed. They had the teachings of Jesus concerning His death and resurrection, but the current events were overwhelming.
We see some low spots in the story as Peter, James and John slept through the most intense moment of Jesus’ need for them in the Garden of Gethsemane, all the disciples fled at the arrest of Jesus and Peter denied even the knowledge of Jesus. There are also the bright spots of John who was present at the crucifixion along with Mary the mother of Jesus and other women who were His followers.
