Caring for each other

Jesus tells us, really commands us, to care for each other when he said through out the gospels, "Love one anothe"  Here at Shepherd of the Valley, we put that love into action and incorporated our mission statement of feeding, tending and sending in the name of the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ into action.  We provide various ways in which we care of each other, our community and our world.

We are partnering with the Safe Lot program that provides a safe place for Women and Children sleeping in their cars.  Safe Lot will provide a fenced guarded area for these families.  They will also have restroom, shower and laundry facilities.  This will hopefully allow them to sleep more soundly knowing that they will not be molested while in the Safe Lot.   To register for the Safe Lot program please LifeBridge at Pure Heart Church.  Their info is below.
