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  .

JOIN US WEDNESDAY as we continue our journey through the Lenten season under the theme: “Behold The Man.”  This week we consider “A God Who Thirsts”.  The service begins at 7:00 PM.

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.

THE NEXT SATURDAY MORNING Women’s Bible Study will be on April 13, at 9:30 a.m.  PLEASE NOTE: We will be meeting at Bethel instead of Shepard of the Valley.  We will be studying Chapter 6: The Woman with the Issue of Blood—When Waiting Draws You to Jesus.
