Christian History
2024-08-29 | Shepherd of the Valley, 4510 North River Road, Oceanside, Ca, 92056
August 29, 29: Since the fifth century, tradition has this as the date for the death of John the Baptist.
August 29, 70: Romans burn the gates, enter the Temple courtyards of Jerusalem, and destroy the temple by fire. Within three years, Jewish resistance ends in a seige of the Herodian fortress of Massada. Rather than be captured or executed, the zealots committed suicide when it became clear that the Romans would soon breach the walls.

Back by Popular Demand!
Refreshments return to our Fellowship time after worship!
Fellowship Returns! Shepherd of the Valley is a friendly church! We embrace each other and LOVE to talk with each other! It’s a good thing… and we greatly encourage it. Of course, we are also in this pandemic and so need to enjoy this time SAFELY. Goodies will return this Sunday and sign-ups will be out for future weeks. Some things to keep in mind:

+ Think outdoor dining!
+ DO talk!
+ Please practice social distancing with those you do not live with – at least 6 feet. Spread out.
+ Please do NOT hang around the fellowship counter where the food is; receive your goodie and then please step away.

Our hosts will provide goodies in such a way that no one will be touching food that others will consume.

Communion is celebrated every Sunday. If you have never celebrated this with us, we invite you to speak with the pastor before communing. We welcome those who are baptized, who are repentant, and who believe that Christ is truly present in the bread and wine. Young children and those seeking a blessing instead are welcome to come forward, arms crossed. We use wine, but we have some white grape juice also available for those who should avoid wine. We practice “First Communion” for children 10 and/or in the fifth grade with special classes of preparation.
For those who can’t make it in person, the service will be streamed live on our facebook page and slightly delayed on our website.
If you have any questions about our worship service, please contact the church at contact@svlchurch.org.

Lutheran History
2024-08-11 | Shepherd of the Valley, 4510 North River Road, Oceanside, Ca, 92056
August 11, 1519: Johann Tetzel, the German Dominican priest whose peddling of indulgences inspired Martin Luther to write his 95 Theses, dies. Throughout Germany he infamously preached, “As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs.” Even the papal envoy eventually criticized him. As for Luther, though he once called Tetzel “the primary author of this tragedy,” when he heard Tetzel lay dying, wrote the friar a letter of comfort: “Don’t take it too hard. You didn’t start this racket” (see issue 34: Luther’s Early Years).
