“Go Light Your World!”       

At the very end of the farewell service for Pastor Greg, we sang the familiar song, “Go light your world.”  The refrain in that song is worth sharing:

Carry your candle, run to the darkness,
Seek out the homeless, confused and torn.
Hold out your candle for all to see it, Take your candle, and
Go light your world.

          This must be our spiritual posture.  To face forward into a troubled world that needs us to see what’s wrong and not turn from it.  And, the song makes clear, we have a bright shining candle to hold, and others will see this gospel alive in us—this wonderful spot on earth called Beaver Valley where God is doing good things. 

And, even in this time of transition into what is next for our people (the assembling of a call committee, the deep work of a parish study, etc.)  the call to be alive and confident in God’s mercy is all that is required of our congregation.  We will be blessed for our faithful trust even as we cannot see what the future holds.

                                        Together with you in faith,

                                        Beaver Valley Church Council

Dedicated to the Future

Right into this year of what we are calling our year of rebirth, Beaver Valley is dedicated to remembering to share as we always have the Good News of forgiveness and grace for all.  And, then, with forgiveness the gift received, we are also dedicated to being in this complicated world, without fear, for the sake of all. 

We enjoy people coming and visiting.  Come and see what our “coming back to life” looks like around our remodeled hallways.  Come and visit and stay a lifetime if it feels right—there is plenty of joyous work to do, trusting that not just the past but the future, too, is comfortably held in God’s hands. 

Growing a Child’s Faith

Beaver Valley’s youth ministry programs are our priority!  Our Sunday School is simple for now…a one room school house method of teaching while we anxiously wait for our return to our church home with new gathering spaces and Sunday School craft room nearing completion.  Our new fifth grade God Squad is already busy with learning and working (red t-shirts on when they serve  around the church).  Our 6^th – 8^th grade confirmation classes (with adult guides for small groups) are learning and planning servant work to bring mind and body together.  And our Senior High meet both as a Beaver Valley small group and as part of a larger, once-a-month “northern rim” youth group that plans each year a faith enhancing trip to go serve and learn.  When we say, “Come to the Valley to Grow in Faith”, we say that first to our children!  Learn more…Click here for children & youth ministries.
