Be Refreshed Pastoral Ministry

Pastoral Ministry

Shepherd of the Valley is a gathering of all kinds of people.

People seeking God's love, grace and strength for daily living; ordinary people of all ages and stages of life, with all kinds of backgrounds, families, needs and problems; people at various stages of faith and doubt.

We come from a variety of cultural and ethnic and racial heritages. We do all kinds of things for a living. We live in all kinds of neighborhoods. The center of our life together is vital, life-transforming worship. We gather each week in eagerness and expectancy, to be met by the gracious God who continually seeks us out in purpose, presence and power.

What brings us together is our common need for the grace and love of the God we've come to know in Jesus Christ. As this God meets us where we are, we begin to receive what we lack in this healing community of faith. Moved by deep, heartfelt gratitude, we follow the call of that same Christ who sends us out on the self-sacrificial mission and service to our neighborhoods, communities and world, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

There's a place for you in this extended family of faith we call Shepherd of the Valley Presbyterian Church.

Come as you are. You are loved. Vengan como son, y serán amados.

Waiting to Blossom

Written by Ministry
A 1979 song called “The Rose” (written by Amanda McBroom and made popular by Bette Midler) encourages listeners to keep the faith, even when the source of our hope isn’t visible. In the depths of winter, we especially need the reminder that beneath mounds of snow lie seeds already being…

Why We Pass the Peace

Written by Tom Hart
The practice of Passing of the Peace began reappearing in congregations in the 60s and 70s but has its origins in the early Christian Church. In the letters of Paul there are several references to greeting one another with "a holy kiss" (Rom 16:16 ; 1 Cor 16:20 ; 2 Cor 13:12 ;…

A Celebration of Partnership

Written by Tom Hart
Stewardship Update It is always a challenge to predict the outcome of stewardship campaigns before all the pledges are received. It is a bit like trying to count chickens before they are hatched. But two weeks after Stewardship Sunday there is some preliminary data that can be shared from which…
