COVID 19 UPDATE (as of March 18, 2020)
In keeping with guidelines set out by the United Church of Canada and our local governments, Valois United will be cancelling our services for the coming weeks. However we continue to offer services to meet the needs of our congregation and our community through other lines of communication--our Facebook page, by email, and by telephone. If you know of someone who is struggling, please let us know through our contact page how we can help.
Our Celebrations of Easter will continue, and in the coming days and weeks, we will be providing you with links, videos, bible readings, hymns and prayers through the miracle of online communication. We also have some Easter activities for children you might like to try!
So until we meet again, pray for each other to be safe and stay strong, stay connected, find ways to share a smile, and join us in prayer for sunnier days ahead.

Welcome everyone! Families gather in the sanctuary at 10:00 am Sunday mornings, and children leave halfway through to attend Sunday school class. We also offer a quiet space at the back of the church for young ones to relax in during service. Everyone meets up after service for coffee and fellowship. We hope you will join us.
