WELCOME!!  We are glad that you have joined us this morning as we lift up our hearts and voices in response to God’s great gift of forgiveness and life in Christ Jesus.  If you are a visitor, please sign our guest book and introduce yourself to Pastor Les Wolfgram and Pastor Justin Woodside.


AT SHEPHERD OF THE VALLEY LUTHERAN CHURCH we celebrate the Lord’s Supper in the confidence that we receive, along with the bread and wine, our Savior’s true body and blood “through and in which we  obtain the forgiveness of sins.”  Besides individually receiving Christ’s free gift of forgiveness in this sacrament, all those who commune make a confession of the faith that we believe and teach in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.  To commune at this altar is to accept the doctrinal position of this congregation.  Because of that common confession, we invite those who are members at sister Missouri Synod Churches to join us at the Lord’s Table.  If you would like more information on our understanding of the Lord’s Supper, please visit with Pastor Wolfgram.


MISSOURI VALLEY CHAMBER ORCHESTRA presents “Suite and Low” at Shepherd of the Valley on November 8 at 3:00 PM with Dr. Brian Lydeen and Dr. Jeremy Wohletz, bass clarinets, and Elizabeth Schoeder, soprano.  Tickets available at the door. 


THE FEAST OF ALL SAINTS will take place on November 1.   In an effort to remember our loved ones who have died in the Lord, you may order and purchase a rose to celebrate their new and eternal life in Christ.  During services on November 1, we will pause to remember and celebrate these loved ones with a parade of roses, honoring each person, one at a time.  Blessed be the memory of our loved ones who have died in the Lord.  Rest in peace.  Rise in glory! 


THE MARTIN LUTHER SCHOOL FALL 2020 AUCTION is now open and will run through Sunday, November 8, at 2:00 pm.  You will have the opportunity to bid on donated crafts, artwork, toys, tools, sporting goods, gift cards, and more.  There may even be a few pies for auction.  You can also make direct donations.  Finally, you will be able to purchase t-shirts with the new “Lion” logo.  The shirts are great for MLS students, parents, grandparents, and all supporters.  The auction can be previewed at https://www.charityauctionstoday.com/auctions/Martin-Luther-School-Fall-2020-Auction-15301.  Thanks for your support.  


THE WOMEN’S CARE CENTER has specifically asked for gift cards for Walmart and Target to assist them with their incentive program where they offer free crib and other “Baby Stuff” to moms who complete classes.  They lack space to store these items so appreciate the ability to give gift cards to moms and dads who complete the program. 


DUE TO COVID WE ARE USING single prepackaged treats for fellowship . Donations of treats or money in basket is appreciated. It cost around $15 for treats and coffee each Sunday. Thanks! Any questions: Cathy Sitter or Pam Dever.
