Valley Presbyterian's new Executive Pastor Karen Thistlethwaite addressed the congregation last Sunday, November 3, with a sermon on "A Legacy of Faith and Forgiveness."

Building on the reading from Acts 7:55-60, Pastor Karen noted that Stephen asked God to forgive his persecutors with his dying breath. Karen suggested we bring forgiveness and God's love to those we are inclined to love the least, following Stephen's example. www.valleypreschurch.org
