Come join us for Bible study, fellowship, prayer time, and good food. This winter/spring we will study the book of Hebrews.

We will explore the message of Hebrews and its implications for our lives.

In the book of Exodus, we learn that God prepares, calls, leads and forgives a chosen people - then and now. In this study, participants will consider the stories from Exodus that are central to the Old Testament and explore how the themes of these stories
continue to be central to our lives today. Each session focuses on a different question
and theme.

Led by Pastor Duane Paetznick & Pastor Mary Lund

Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander, a highly trained neurosurgeon, was one of those scientists. But Dr. Alexander himself had a miraculous recovery after a seven-day coma. In his book, he describes a journey beyond this world where he met, and spoke with Our Creator. Join us for a one-night discussion of the afterlife using the book by Dr. Eben Alexander and
featuring descriptions of near-death experiences from several Shepherd of the
Valley members.

Sundays at 9:45 a.m. in the Chapel
March 3: “The Rise of the
Non-Religious” Jeremy Myers, Augsburg College
20% of Americans consider themselves to be
non-religious. 30% of those under 30
consider themselves non-religious. Why is
this happening and what does it mean for the
church? We’ll take a look at the current
landscape of religion among youth and young
adults, explore some reasons for how we got
here and discuss some ways we might move
forward as a church.
