Have you heard we’re planning a Neighborhood Block Party?
It will be Saturday, September 6 outside in the SOTV parking lot on from 4-7pm. Please help spread the word!
Many of you have urged us reach out more to our
community. We agree! Connecting to our
community is an important way to live out Our Vision to invite all people to
experience the Welcome, Transformation, and Sending of Jesus Christ. So let’s do it! We will need your help to
come and invite others to join you.
Our volunteer worship band led by Shawn Vaughan will
provide live music. Volunteers and staff are donating supplies, setting up
tents and helping run games. Dannelle will be cooking hot dogs and brats. This
will be a low-cost event, but a fun way to connect with our neighbors. Banners
will be up soon at our corner, and an invitational mailing will hit many area
homes the first week of September. Invitations that you can give to friends and
neighbors will be available at church entrances.
Worship will be inside at 5 pm, and the following week (September
13) we will shift to two service times on Saturday: 4:00 pm (band-led worship)
and 5:30 pm (organ/piano-led). In
between services at 5:00 pm is a casual community and fellowship time we’ve
dubbed the “Saturday Sampler.” Each week there will be special activities
planned – something different each week!
You may have also heard that GodZone Christian education
for Age 3 (by 9/1/14) – Grade 3 is now available at each worship time,
including Saturdays. Register for fall.
We've timed the Neighborhood Block Party on purpose a
week before this new Saturday schedule and fall programming starts, so that
people can get connected into the life of Shepherd of the Valley.
Please come to our Neighborhood
Block Party, and bring a friend, or two. All are invited!
