DIVINE CALL –Mr. Daniel Carran, who we called to serve as our 5th-6th grade teacher and Athletic Director, has returned the call to SVLS. The content of his message is below:

Dear Friends in Christ,

Greetings to you in the name of Christ Jesus our Savior. On Nov. 1st, Shepherd of the Valley extended me a divine call to serve as the 5th and 6th grade teacher and athletic director. Since then, I’ve had an awesome opportunity to prayerfully consider where the Lord could best use my talents to serve Him. After much prayerful consideration and speaking with many different individuals; the Lord has led me to return the call to Shepherd of the Valley, Menasha.

Thank you for your prayers during my deliberation. Thank you for the time spent in communicating with me. Thank you for your kind words, your words of wisdom, and your encouragements as I spoke and corresponded. May God continue to bless the
​ministry of reaching out to the lost and shepherding the believers in Menasha and the surrounding areas. My wife and I will continue to keep Shepherd of the Valley in our prayers. Finally, it is a joy to take comfort in the promises God laid before us in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

In Christ's service,
Daniel Carran

SECOND QUARTER MISSION OFFERINGS will be directed toward the Vulnerable Children's Foundation, in partnership with FVL Schools, but with a slightly different focus. In Zambia, it costs about $250 to support one student for one year. Along with FVL Schools, our 2nd quarter mission offerings will go toward sponsoring students for the year in Zambia.
