Father’s Day 2023

Father's Day 2023 banner for Valley Baptist Church

Fatherhood is indeed a joy and a privilege for many, and this Father’s Day is the perfect time to show your own dad (or special father figure) that you love and appreciate them. How you choose to express your love for him is up to you, but simply letting him know that you admire and respect his selflessness, support, and even faith will mean more to him than you’ll ever know. And if you can no longer celebrate Father’s Day with your dad, thank God for him and know that he lives on in your memories and your heart.

“The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.” ~Proverbs 20:7

“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.” Proverbs 17:6

Memorial Day is May 29, 2023, and is a time to honor those currently serving and who have served in the military. It’s also a day to remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom in giving their lives.

Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me. ~Isaiah 49: 15-16

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.~Colossians 2:8

Celebrating All Women

Mother’s Day is a special day when we honor mothers and we thank God for them. This Mother’s Day, let’s honor all women; especially women of faith. God bless all women, young and old alike, from all walks of life, who desire to be godly women.

Below are just a few verses from Proverbs 31:

“An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her and he will have no lack of gain.” Verses 10-11

“She rises also while it is still night, and gives food to her household and portions to her maidens. She considers a field and buys it; from her earnings she plants a vineyard. She girds herself with strength, and makes her arm strong. She senses that her gain is good; her lamp does not go out at night.” Verses 15-18

“She extends her hand to the poor; and stretches out her hand to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet.” Verses 20-21

“Strength and dignity are her clothing and she smiles at the future. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and bless her; her husband also and he praises her…” Verses 25-28
