Look, I know it’s hot already. It’s probably going to be hot for a while. But let’s not let

the summer heat prevent us from getting outside and enjoying God’s natural world! This

month I want to share with you about developing our spiritual lives through our interactions

with the outdoors.

Have you ever thought about how your experience outside could be turned into a spiritual

practice? Simply put, a spiritual practice is any regular, intentional activity that you do that

in turn allows you to grow in your relationship with God.

Mowing the lawn? How about praying for individuals with each pass across the

yard with the mower?

Swimming? Take a moment to allow your focused breathing to become a source of

meditation; to be fully present in not only your strokes, but in your breath.

Hanging out at the beach? God created the beach to remind us of the impor tance

of celebrating Sabbath! Our only expectation is to enjoy being present with God!

Gardening? Remember our or iginal jobs in Eden were to maintain the garden. With each plant, bird, and bug,

we are reminded of God’s Creation.

Whether we are running, biking, hiking, swimming, walking, camping, or even sitting in the shade on a nice bench,

remember that we are called to commune with God’s natural world around us. I would love to hear of your experiences,

and to hear how your intentional time with God is going!

…and don’t make me repeat myself; wear sunscreen!

In Christ,

Produce Table

The recent blast of summer-like weather has done

wonders for gardens around town. What’s growing in

your garden? Do you have some produce, some

flowers or some herbs to share? If so, please bring

anything that you think someone else might like to

Valley’s Produce Table. It is set up each Sunday in

Davis Hall and welcomes all things to fill this

tabletop. Hopefully, the offerings will entice others to stop by, pick up a few

garden fresh goodies and place a monetary donation in the box. Just wait to see

what July brings to Valley’s Produce Table!

Summer Hymn Sing

It is summer time and the choir will not sing in worship during

July and August. We will be having our wonderful soloists provide

solo anthem music during those months. Also, we will resume our

tradition of replacing the prelude with a “hymn-sing.” Arrive a little

early for church and be prepared to shout out the number of your

favorite hymn.

Presbyterian Women’s Bible Study

Dining for Women to Meet July 21

Education in other parts of the world varies so much! In America there are schools around almost

every corner. It is the expectation for most to get 12 years of education. We are the lucky ones; not so

in underserved and rural areas around the world.

Come to the July Dining for Women at Valley meeting on Sunday, July 21 and learn about how

one organization, Iqra Fund, is changing the lives of girls in rural Pakistan through education.

The project is called Educating Girls and Empowering Women in Tribal Pakistan to Eliminate

Childhood Marriage and Strengthen Communities. Based on their success at the grade school level

this project establishes a girls’ middle school program in Pakistan’s isolated Basha Valley by funding teachers, providing

uniforms, books and supplies for the girls, and engaging the mothers in leadership workshops.

To provide high quality schooling, the Iqra Fund partners with tribal villages and collaborates with community

leaders, parents, and other stakeholders to create a sustainable education system for the girls and adult learning

opportunities for their mothers.

Join us at 11:30 a.m. in the Fireside Room to share an abundant potluck lunch, hear a program on this worthy and

interesting non-profit organization, and let your “dining out” dollars help support their grant request. See you then!

The Horizons Bible study for Presbyterian Women for the year 2019-20 is “Love Carved in Stone: A Fresh Look at

the Ten Commandments” by Eugenia Anne Gamble, a long-time Presbyterian pastor. The study examines what it means

to consider the Ten Commandments not as a harsh list of what not to do but, instead, as a “love letter” from a loving

God. Moral behavior matters, not simply because immoral actions can anger or disappoint God, but because principled

behavior is how love becomes real, both toward God and in community.

Rev. Gamble notes that nowhere in the Hebrew text does the word for “commandment” appear, but that the utterances

are called “words.” She has chosen to use the term “Ten Words” because it is the biblical form and opens us up to

looking at the Ten Commandments in fresh ways. Each lesson begins with an exploration of one of the Ten Words in its

biblical context. From there we’ll consider a moment from Jesus’ life that shows us how he lived out that Word. We then

consider the Word for our own lives and contexts, and conclude with an invitation to pray with the Word in our study

groups and in our personal devotions.

At least two Valley Women’s Bible study groups are planned for 2019-20: one on a week-day morning and another on

a weekday evening. If you are interested in participating and have a preference for a particular morning or evening (or

days you would be unavailable), please let Connie Brenner know (503.690.8933).

Presbyterian Women to Gather October 19

The Fall Gathering of Presbyterian Women in the Cascades Presbytery will be held Saturday,

October 19, at First Presbyterian Church of Woodburn, 950 N. Boones Ferry Road, Woodburn 97071.

The theme of the Gathering is “Building Bridges of Understanding”, and the keynote speaker will be

the Rev. Cynthia O’Brien, pastor of First Presbyterian, Woodburn. Her topic is “The Better Angels of

our Nature”, and is about the Better Angels movement, a bipartisan effort to unify our divided nation by

bringing red and blue Americans together into a working alliance and building new ways to talk to one

another, participate together in public life, and influence the direction of the nation.

Registration and Hospitality will begin at 9:30 a.m., and the Program is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. to

3:00 p.m. Pre-registration is $10, which includes lunch, and registration after October 14 and at the door is $15.

Registration forms are available in the church office.


Confirmation Journey

Mission Corner

Five of Valley’s high school youth embarked on their Confirmation journey beginning in October, with a conclusion

on Confirmation Sunday, June 9. With the help of supportive mentors and church leaders, we concentrated this time on

learning and discovering aspects of a life of faith, both as a community and personally as each individual sought to

understand and then explain their own beliefs.

With partnering mentors, the Confirmands did lots of “heart work,” beginning the journey of what we believe, why

believe it, and how we live out our legacy as Christ’s beloved “hands and feet” on this planet. The youth are incredible

and insightful, and they are a blessing to our local church community and the world. This year’s Confirmation Class

included Grace Baker, Dylan Blair, Anthony Graham, Olivia Hoffbeck, and Maria Rinella. Four of the five confirmed

their baptismal vows and joined Valley as members! Let us continue to pray for these incredible people and their

mentors and families, as we all journey in faith together. Many thanks to all who walked alongside the youth during this

journey. To God be the Glory!

Grace Baker graduated from Beaver ton High School where she was captain of the Rhythm B’s dance team.

She also worked at THPRD during her junior and senior years. Grace has been a ballet dancer most of her life and

most recently attended The Portland Ballet. Grace’s favorite memory at Valley was her first youth group trip to the

food carts.

Dylan Blair will be a junior at Lincoln High School this fall. He has attended Valley Church since bir th. Some

of his extra-curricular activities include soccer, guitar, hanging out with friends and playing with his Australian

Shepherd, Monty. He enjoys spending time volunteering at Valley.

Anthony Graham will be a senior at Aloha High School this year . He has been involved in numerous activities

at Valley while growing up including choir, VBS, and youth group. Some of his favorite activities are drawing,

music, filmmaking, hanging out with friends, and helping care for pets. He enjoys helping with various Valley

activities and helping around the community.

Olivia Hoffbeck will be a junior at Jesuit High School this year . Some of her interests include soccer , mock

trial, theater, and softball. She has grown up in Valley and is member of the choirs and youth group. Her favorite

memory with Valley was her first mission trip. The youth group traveled to California to help paint, garden, and

build for a small community. Olivia is looking forward to volunteering at VBS and attending the upcoming

Triennium trip this summer!

Maria Rinella will be a sophomore at Beaverton High School where she is a member of the volleyball and

track teams, and is a volunteer for Club Hope. She has been a part of Valley since she attended preschool there at

three years old, was a regular participant in Vacation Bible School, and has been very active in the Youth Group and

choir over the years. She is a music lover and talented singer, and enjoys spending time with her family hiking,

crabbing, camping, and pretty much anything outdoors.

Thank you to all who donated to the Letty

Owens Center Baby Layette Drive, in May.

We collected so many needed items for the

“little ones” and their moms (left). LOC was

overwhelmed by our generosity when the

items were delivered to them in early June.

Thanks again, from your Mission Team and

Valley Christian Preschool.

CROP Walk in April.... we donated

$345.00 toward their 2019 goal. Of this

amount 25% stays right here in Portland to

fight hunger. Thanks for your support.

First two quarters for Cents-Ability have netted: $1,016.54, slightly lower than last year 's figure.... but we have

time to catch up, before the end of the year. This offering allows us to donate to the PCUSA hunger program and our

local agency Care to Share. See the past 5 years of giving posted on the bulletin board in the stairwell to the gym.

Hello Valley Community!

My name is Marshall Lauck, and I am the new Director of Youth Ministry. I am so

excited to be a part of Valley Community, and for the chance to serve and work with

the youth of the church.

My wife, Hayley, and I moved to the Portland Metro Area in May of 2018, from the

small town of Turlock, CA. We have been married for two years as of June 24! We’re

both avid readers (we got our BAs in English Literature), and we also like to call

ourselves writers. We’ve both had some of our poetry published!

Another one of my great loves is coffee. In addition to working in ministry, I am a

barista at the Peet’s Coffee on SW Broadway in Portland, so feel free to pay me a

visit! I consider myself a Coffee Enthusiast. One of my favorite hobbies is trying new

coffees and experimenting with different ways to brew (I personally own about six

different coffee brewing devices).

I have several years of volunteer ministry experience, and it has always been a great

love of mine. God has truly blessed Hayley and me with this opportunity to be a part

of Valley Community. We are so looking forward to getting to know the youth in the

church and their families. If you see us around, feel free to say hi and ask us a few

questions, we’re excited to meet you!

All the Best,

Marshall Lauck

Marshall and Hayley Lauck

My Faith Story

By Bev Hubbard

The Scripture verse which has lead my Faith throughout is John

3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son,

that who so believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting

life.” It is this passage that has strengthened me whenever my faith was

challenged.

I was born and grew up in the small town of Oroville in northern

CA. Our family went each Sunday to the First Congregational Church,

a church established there in 1912. My favorite memories of this

church as a child include the large stain glass window above the choir

loft which portrayed Jesus with his hands outstretched as if to say

“Little children, come unto Me.” Sunday school classes for us “little

ones” were held in the church basement which had cold cement floors.

I fell off one of the little wooden chairs when I was about four years

old and my Sunday School teacher, Mrs. Sherlock, showed little

comfort for me as I remember. I was active in the Cherub Choir and

remember wearing an angel costume each year for the Christmas pageant.

As I got older I don’t remember a “Youth Group” as such, but I do remember our Sunday school room was now

upstairs on the second floor of the church. During my junior high years, I was invited along with three other girlfriends

to join the adult choir, in which we participated until graduation from high school.

My faith was still pretty much in what I would say was an infancy stage during this time, and going to church on

Sunday as a family was just something we did. We did not pray aloud at home much. Perhaps a prayer before

Thanksgiving and Easter meals.

After high school I took my first “leap of faith” by coming to Forest Grove, OR to attend Pacific University,

majoring in Elementary Education and minoring in music. I really didn't know anyone at Pacific before I came, but

soon made friends, especially in the University Singers.

Experiencing the Columbus Day storm my first year at Pacific, and then the assassination of President John Kennedy

stand out in my memory as times when I relied on my faith.

After graduation from Pacific I taught my first year in Tigard, and then transferred to Beaverton school district.

During this time I met and married my husband, Jerry, who was not a church goer. Nor could he read music to sing in a

choir. Oh well - he was a good provider and father for our two sons. When Matt and Alan were six and five years old,

we came to Valley to worship as a family. I came because I knew the music would be good. My friend Pam Nelson’s

husband, Ward Nelson, was the organist at Valley at that time. Both boys received their Bibles as second graders and

they also participated in a Wednesday afternoon program for children when they got a little older.

Going through a divorce was another time when my faith was tested, but we had been attending Valley long enough

that I chose to become a member in 1987. I did survive that challenge with the help of several conversations with Pastor

Jack Hansen.

The next challenge of my faith occurred after obtaining a Master’s Degree in teaching and substituting for five

different school districts in the Portland area for three years. I went to a Teacher’s Fair in the spring of 1991 and walked

out with a contract to go teach first grade in Guam. So at the end of August I boarded a plane and traveled 7,000 miles

across the Pacific to the tiny island of Guam. I mentally dumped a whole lot of garbage from my thoughts during that

flight and prayed to God to help me once I arrived. While in Guam, I searched for a church home that felt comfortable

and found it at the Naval Base Chapel on the West side of the island. Annual typhoons became something to expect,

and I did often thank God that my housing was not damaged like so many of the islands residents. Going without power

for a couple of weeks was nothing compared to those who were forced to live in the “tent cities” that were established

to house them.

After five years of island life, and a wonderful teaching experience, it was time to come home and to come back to

Valley where my faith continues to guide me through expressions of music and being with young children.


Meet Our Valley Family

On Sunday, June 9, we welcomed to membership four adults, Kristi Albertson, David Caputo, Angela Graham, and

Joyce Jenkins along with four confirmands, Grace Baker, Dylan Blair, Anthony Graham, and Maria Rinella (see p. 4).

My name is Kristi Albertson. I grew up on a dairy farm between

Bandon and Coquille, Oregon. I graduated from Bandon High School

and from Oregon College of Education (now WOU) with a Bachelor of

Science.

I have two children, a son and a daughter. My son, Kristiopher, is in

the Air Force. He is married to Amanda and they have my eight month

old granddaughter, Allison.

My daughter, Patrice, resides with me and is a preschool teacher.

I love to sew and quilt. I have taught sewing, crafts and quilting to

children and adults. I volunteered at OMSI in the design lab. I enjoy

putting together care packages together for servicemen where I am able

to bake cakes, breads, cookies and other special treats.

My name is David Caputo. I was born and raised in Beaverton,

Oregon. My parents divorced when I was very young. My mom, Yvonne,

is remarried to Steve Rees, who is also a member of Valley. My older

sister, Kathryn, and I attended Valley’s children’s programs and choir

while growing up. I graduated from Beaverton High School in 2018.

Now I am learning life skills in a Beaverton School District program

called CTP (Community Transition Program). One of my hobbies is

playing video games. I also enjoy hanging out with my friends as well as

singing. I am in the Valley Sanctuary Choir.

Meet Our Valley Family (cont. from p. 7)

Page 8 valleycommunity.org June 2019

My name is Angela Graham. I was born in Klamath Falls and grew up

in Milwaukie, OR. I have four children and a son-in-law, Alexis and Ian

Wolf, Anthony Graham, Zachary Graham, and Nathan Graham.

I started working at Valley in 1998 as a preschool teacher during the

day and working in the office in the afternoons. I switched to the office

full time after Anthony was born in 2002. My children have grown up

here at Valley and we consider this our second home.

I enjoy drawing, painting, knitting and crocheting, playing the piano

and spending time with my family.

I was happy to join Valley alongside my son, Anthony, and am

looking forward to our future here at the church!

My name is Joyce Watts Jenkins. I was born and raised in

Pennsylvania, attended college in Washington, DC. and worked as

Assistant Personnel Officer for National Geographic Society. I married

my husband, Bob, who was a Primary Patent Examiner and we moved to

Maryland where we raised our son Eben (Ben) who is also a member at

Valley. While he attended college, I served as Stated Clerk and Treasurer

of National Capital Presbytery in Washington, DC and later served a term

in the General Assembly Council, Louisville, KY. My husband died in

2011 and Ben and Wendy prevailed upon me to move near them, Elise

and Aaron. I finally made the jump from East Coast to West Coast this

past July and moved to the Summerfield 55+ community about ten

minutes from them.

I fit into the category of “cradle Presbyterian” and while a member of

Potomac Presbyterian Church, Potomac, Maryland, have served as substitute organist, Sunday school teacher, Deacon,

Elder, Clerk of Session, and Commissioner to Presbytery, Synod and General Assembly and member of General

Assembly Council.

My husband and I attended Valley Community whenever we visited here and consequently it feels much like home.

Receiving line for new members and confirmands. The confirmands and their mentors.

Earth Care Corner Did you know...

that there has been an article in Valley’s Messenger each month since

last July on Earth Care related topics? Topics covered have been recycling

options for styrofoam and clothing, options for buying in bulk, rechargeable

batteries, less plastic wrap, using environment friendly cleaning products

and less paper towels, what to keep out of your recycling bin and what to do

with those plastic lids.

Recently I was talking with a valued Valley member. This person

initially resisted the attempts to switch from styrofoam and disposable cups

during coffee fellowship time to durable ceramic mugs. They would wander

back into the kitchen and take from the cupboard a disposable item of their

choice to hold their cup of joe.

No longer! They now see the merit in using a washable and sustainable

choice week after week and noted some “guilt” when going to a local coffee

shop and having to use something that will end up in the trash. Bravo!

Taking care of our one and only Earth takes an attitude shift and it takes one

person at a time.

On a day to day basis we don’t realize that our Portland trash travels

140 miles to the Columbia Ridge Landfill, which is 30 miles south of

Arlington in NE Oregon. EACH day 65 landfill bound semi-trailers, each

carrying 6-7 garbage truckloads, haul our trash away. What can YOU do

today, tomorrow and all your days to come to lessen the impact on our God

given Earth?

July Book Group

The Valley Book Group will meet on Friday, July 26, in the Fireside Room at

10:00 a.m. to discuss The Bookshop of Yesterdays, by Amy Meyerson. In this

poignant debut novel about family, forgiveness, and a love of reading, Miranda

Brooks inherits a beloved bookstore where she grew up solving inventive

scavenger hunts and sets forth on a journey of self-discovery through one final

scavenger hunt. The clues are hidden for her inside novels on the store's shelves,

in locked drawers of the apartment upstairs, and in the name of the store itself.

She is led to find the terrible secret that tore her family apart. All are welcome to

bring their own coffee and to join in the discussion of this mysterious book.

Prior Elders and Deacons welcome the new church officers.
