Thank You




Thank you to everyone for your love and support. My retirement brunch was great. Thank you to everyone who attended and a special thanks to those that made it happen.

My almost 30 years here at SOV have been great. I have had the privilege of working with and meeting so many people.

I want to especially thank the church and school for the generous retirement gift. Pam and I were overwhelmed by your thoughtfulness. I also received so many cards and gifts and want to thank everyone for their kindness and well wishes!  

We appreciate all of you and thank you for continuing to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Doug (and Pam) Gibson

Foundation Plans Legacy Dinner 

Shepherd of the Valley Foundation is planning for a "Legacy Dinner". This event is held to thank those who have designated a contribution to our Foundation through their estate plan. Such gifts would endow the work of SOV in the future. If you have made such arrangements, please fill out a short form, also available in the narthex so that we will know all those who should be invited to the dinner. If you have not made a designated gift, but would like to, call  

Jan Garris (818) 348-8343 for details. The Foundation has resources available to help you set up such a gift.

 

We are currently planning the Legacy Dinner for the weekend of May 16-17.
