AAA is a group of active adults of all ages who want to continue to learn, to enjoy fellowship with each other, and to participate fully in the world around us. The group is open to all ages of adults and to all Valley members and friends. We welcome new comers!
The AAA Senior group from Valley Christian toured the Holocaust Educational Center this week at the Temple Emanual on Highland Avenue in Birmingham. The tour started with the history of World War II in Europe with a large map showing where over 6,000 Jewish people lived and the systematic removal of them to concentration camps and death. We then had a speaker whose mother had been in several camps, but was finally liberated at the war’s end and was able to make her way to the United States. A riveting story of survival, and of losing your whole family. She was eventually united with her older brother, she married, had children, and now has great-grandchildren. This is just one story of 100’s more who came to live in Birmingham, Al.
The AAA Senior’s enjoyed the trip to Tuscaloosa on May 22, 2024 to visit with our former Pastor Gary Edge. We also visited the Paul “Bear” Bryant museum on the campus of the University of Alabama. We had lunch at one of our favorite places the Blue Plate Café.
On April 11, 2024 our AAA group visited Wetumpka, Alabama. We started at the welcome center where we were welcomed by the mayor. We then browsed the shops, had a wonderful lunch and then were treated to a guided tour of the meteor crater and surrounding area. It was a fantastic and educational trip.
