Sanctuary and Grounds Cleaning is this Saturday,
March 28, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Help us prepare the campus for Easter week - even an hour will make a difference!
If you have cleaning items, pails and rags, please bring them along. We also need to 'round up' some weeds in the parking lot, so outdoor and garden tools are helpful if you'd prefer to work outdoors. This event is a true example of how "many hands make light work." Won't you lend a hand, to help make the facility sparkle?
|
Help make our sanctuary beautiful for Easter, donate an Easter Lily! The cost is $8. Order forms are available in the pews.

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. |
