Newsletter All are welcome! As a community of faith following Jesus’ commandment to love one another, the members of Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church are called to include all people seeking a relationship with Christ, regardless
of age, economic status, ethnic background, physical or mental ability, sexual orientation, gender identity or marital status. We affirm with the Apostle Paul that "in Christ Jesus we are all children of God through faith, for all who were baptized into Christ have clothed themselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for we are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:26-28)
picnicking and hanging out around the pool. It is time for vacations, relaxation, and losing yourself in a
great book. What, you can’t find a book at home to read? Try our library. We have mysteries that are great spellbinders.
We have romances that are sweet and loving. We have action packed adventures books.
This summer, the book cart will have a free book exchange of fiction books for you to take home and read. When done please return the book to the basket in the library or replace it with another fiction book. All book donations are accepted. The book cart will also have fun activity books for young children. These books can also to be taken home but don’t have to be returned.
their parents) will be preparing for the return to
school. That’s right, it’s time for those back-to-
school sales. Most schools resume August 17th.
Will your kids be ready? It will be time to prioritize, organize and accessorize! Perhaps the kids need new notebooks,
pens, pencils, paper or other school essentials? Wait a minute……I’m lost back in the days when you used to use those
materials for school work, now it’s computers and iPads. But I guess some kids still use these simple, primitive school
implements I mentioned above. If so, before you shop, don’t forget your scrip gift cards. We have cards for Staples,
Office Depot, Target, Walmart and Best Buy. Maybe it’s new clothing or shoes the kids need before going back to
school. We have cards for Kohl’s, Target, Sears, JC Penney, Ross, TJ Maxx, Walmart and many others. So if you
patronize any of these fine stores, or any of the other stores who participate in our scrip program, why not buy scrip gift
cards and use them to make your purchases. Some of the stores mentioned above are special order only for we don’t
have frequent requests for them or sell them on a regular basis, so order early and we can have cards within one to two
weeks. Remember that scrip is not just for gifts, but for your everyday purchases as well and that a percentage of every
gift card you purchase is returned to our church. So what better way to get the things that you want or need and at the
same time help support our church. It’s a win/win situation for you and SVLC. Visit us on the patio each and every
Sunday between the 8:3 and 9:45 services and the 9:45 and 11: services.
