FUN & FELLOWSHIP @ THE MOVIES

Fellowship is defined as a “friendly association, especially with people who share one's interest.” Valley Women’s Ministry invites you to find fellowship with other women while enjoying a wholesome, family movie together.
Having a fun event on your calendar to look forward to can make a huge difference in making you feel connected and not so alone. So please feel free to invite women outside of Valley church. In fact, we encourage you to invite your co-workers and neighbors.

Prodigal’s Journey: Life in a small town is shaken up when a husband suddenly forsakes his loving wife and daughter and leaves with the desire to be free and find enjoyment and fulfillment in life. Heartbroken, the wife and daughter struggle to forgive him and eagerly await his return. The journey that the husband thought would bring pleasure ends up producing only sorrow and regret. After reaching the “dead-end” of a lifetime, the husband returns home to ask forgiveness from his family- and he is received with open arms. A touching tale of forgiveness and restoration set to a mélange of classical ballet, jazz, modern and even some swing dance! Experience the power of restoration as the Prodigal journeys home.
Ballet Magnificat! has been helping to take Christian dance to new levels each year. By implementing not only classical ballet but also contemporary, modern, and jazz into their shows, Ballet Magnificat has been able to tour internationally for many years and share the gospel through the medium of dance.
