(1 Peter 2:4-5)
“Come to Him, a living stone, though
rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and like living
stones, let yourself be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood,
to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
It seemed we
took a little trip to Italy together for this time of fundraising and
fellowship. The décor, the music, the food all brought a festive feeling to the
afternoon and extra dollars to our Building Fund.
It took a lot
of work and planning to make it all happen and Shepherd of the Valley would
like to thank all of those who helped in anyway. Your energies, support, and
teamwork are greatly appreciated. There were so many who worked in all sorts of
capacities, showing how God uses the varied talents and gifts within a
congregation to make a beautiful Building. (1 Corinthians 3:9 - For we are
God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building. ESV)
