‘Celebration Sunday’ at Wesleyan Church

The Spokane Valley Wesleyan Church will host a “Celebration Sunday” event during the 10:30 a.m. worship service. The quartet New Anointing will perform.

The church is restarting its youth group, kid’s club and small groups. The congregation also is celebrating the completion of the church’s first Upward Soccer season. The season, sponsored by Valley Wesleyan and Valley Open Bible, drew about 130 children. “It just couldn’t have been better for our first year,” said Valley Wesleyan Pastor Darrell Cole.
