Coming soon to Shepherd of the Valley June 22-26 is a chance to witness God's great power. It will be an amazing VBS adventure as one will learn to conquer challenges. Kids will discover they can really see evidence of God all around them in everyday life. Our theme is "Everest".

Volunteers are needed to support kids in this learning adventure. Please prayerfully consider the gifts God gave you to use to help make this week a successful learning experience. We need station leaders to lead children in song and play; Bible learning, Games, Sports, kitchen, and drama. Also needed are volunteers to help  guide the children to each station. Both youth and adults are called to meet the" Everest challenge" by volunteering. If interested please contact Marlene Filsinger or Caryl Benner.
