Letterbox drop for Christmas
Christmas celebrations are a month away and this year the Worship Team is planning a Christmas Presentation called ‘Summer Road’ for the Christmas Eve Services.

So that the community can be invited to share Christmas at Hope Valley, we are planning for a letterbox drop of 6,000 postcards into the community during the first 2 weeks in December.

We hope you will be able to participate by  delivering a bundle of postcards.
