New Worship Time, 9am on Sunday Mornings:

To stay consistent and minimize any confusion about when worship begins on Sunday mornings, we will be moving to 9 am worship for all worship services (Hybrid and Zoom)

Unless we announce otherwise, the typical pattern for weekly worship will look like this:

1^st Sunday – 9 am, Zoom Worship

2^nd Sunday – 9 am, Hybrid Worship

(In-Person & Zoom)

3^rd Sunday – 9 am, Zoom Worship

4^th Sunday – 9 am, Hybrid Worship

(In-Person & Zoom)

 

We will test out this schedule for the next few months. During that time, we will be asking for your feedback. If appropriate, we will adjust the schedule accordingly. We will then announce the adjusted schedule in Faith News prior to making any changes. Thank you for your patience as we try some new things.

COVID 19 Safety Update:

As we move toward holding more worship services and events in person, we are also moving into the cold and flu season. We want to be mindful of our health and well-being as individuals and as a community. This means that we will be keeping close track of the Community Risk Level as it is indicated on the COVID Act Now website for Washington County.

https://covidactnow.org/us/oregon-or/county/washington_county/?s=47743522

And we will follow these basic guidelines:

Community Risk Level:

LOW Masks are not required; those who prefer to wear them are encouraged to do so.

MEDIUM Masks are required; singers and speakers up front can remove masks when they sing/speak.

HIGH Masks are required for everyone; we may choose to refrain from in-person worship and meet via Zoom only.

If the Community Risk Level changes prior to Sunday in-person worship, we will send out a Special Faith News Email Bulletin. Please look for that bulletin in your email inbox on Saturday evening or Sunday morning before you leave the house, to learn the Community Risk Level and proceed accordingly. As always, if you have a cough, a fever, or any cold or flu-like symptoms, we ask you to stay home and join us online.

The ELCA Task Force on Studies for Civic Life and Faith has released a study curriculum for use throughout our church. Four Lutheran churches in Washington County: Community of ChristChurch, Emanuel, Calvary, and Shepherd of the Valley, are joining forces to share this curriculum and facilitate conversation with one another about religious liberty and the proper role of the church in relation to government. This four-session study will include biblical work, teaching videos, and respectful discussion. We invite everyone to participate!

We will gather on Tuesday evenings, from 7 to 8 pm, at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, 17625 NW Cornell Road, Beaverton, 97006.

 

 

  

 

Oregon Synod Lay School of Theology fall course: "Coming Home to Earth: An Evangelical Lutheran Perspective on Faith and Ecology." Dr. Mark Brocker will lead this eight-week live online course based on his book,  Coming Home to Earth. Dr. Brocker is especially concerned about what will motivate people of faith to take action. Love of God, love of neighbor, love of creation and love of self are classic core values in our faith tradition that can motivate us to act to address pressing ecological issues. 

• Eight Thursday nights, September 21 through November 9
• 6:30-8:00 pm
