A reminder that, from time to time, online scammers may email you pretending to be a member of our clergy team. The emails will often be signed with one of our names and will ask you to contact the clergy by reply email because of something "important" or "urgent," or because we "need to ask you a favour." 

If you are unsure if a message is actually from a member of our clergy team, please never hesitate to reach out to us by telephone to confirm the authenticity of a message before replying to the email.

Emails that are actually from our clergy team will always be from an email address that is our name @valleyanglicans.ca, so if you are wondering if a message may be from a scammer, please double-check the sender's email address.

If a matter is truly urgent, always know that members of our clergy team are much more likely to try to contact you by telephone rather than email. And we will never email you to ask for money or gift cards.

Thank you for remaining vigilant and, if ever in doubt, please do call the clergy or our Aborn House office to double-check.

Save the date for our annual Parish of the Valley Leaders' Day. All Churchwardens, Deputy Wardens, Treasurers, Central Treasurers, and Lay Members of Synod are asked to please mark your calendars for Saturday, November 15th for our annual gathering of the clergy team and lay leadership of our Parish of the Valley.

The Advent & Christmas issue of our parish newspaper, Revelations, will be published in mid December. This will be our last issue of Revelations for 2025!

We would love to share stories from across our parish. If you have a story idea, would like to share about things that took place through the fall or stories of life in our many congregations - we would love to hear from you!

Please send submissions to revelations@valleyanglicans.ca or feel free to reach out to Rev. Gillian if you have a story idea but want to work with someone else to write it - we're pleased to assist in sharing the good news of what the churches and groups of our Parish of the Valley are up to!
