We thank God for the installation and institution of the Rev. Jedd Trenum as Vicar at Anglican Church of the Valley in Staunton, VA on Saturday, September 6.

Every third Tuesday, our church helps serve a hot, nourishing lunch to 20–30 neighbors in need as part of a weekday meal program in Staunton. Partnering with other churches and community groups, we share not only food but also encouragement, conversation, and God’s love—five days a week, all year long.

Many of us would walk past a clearance table at Walmart with shoes for a dollar. Cindy Brown from Anglican Church of the Valley (ACOTV) in Staunton, VA saw a ministry opportunity.

If you are in the Staunton area, make sure to stop and see Anglican Church of the Valley’s JOYFUL display!

The closure of Staunton’s last Christian Bookstore in 2019 gave the local vicar an idea. Why not open a small Christian bookstore combined with a parish office?

New challenges, a pandemic, a major flood, a “Where’s Waldo” Vicar, and outreach challenges… 2020 has been an interesting year for the Anglican Church of the Valley in Staunton.
