Each Saturday, the Valley Press publishes local and national news of religion, including a quick-read guide to special programs, services, projects and activities of Antelope Valley churches, synagogues, and mosques. Also highlighted in the section are religionrelated news items from national and state wire services.

In the Directory of Religious Services, participating churches reach out to newcomers and established residents with easy-to-use information on locations, days and times of services, along with details on such matters as child care and youth programs.
