Remembering "Little Church in the Valley" 

Carson (Hemlock-Stabler) WA

1984 - 1987 

As I look back on the ministries

I rejoice in the times 

of fellowship, love, 

and friendship 

of those 

whom we served. 

There was a sense of P E A C E 

in this little church.

Stationed 15 miles from Mt Saint Helen,

we served there as 

we continued in 

God's Holy Word - (KJV) of the Bible.

We did not make the 

headlines.

But over those few 

years - we saw 

people on the move 

people going from one place to another

and others

who for a time

stayed in the area.

We had a Sunday School

and Service on every

Sunday Morning

while at 

dusk we had an 

Evening Service.

Wm. Henry Cash Jr

1927 - 2012 

was their Pastor.

Served 1984 - 1988 

Thinking Back 

I see 

how much faith

my dear  

husband 

had 

in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Every morning 

before I got up, 

he was studying at his desk, 

pouring over 

Hebrew in the Old Testament

and in the 

Greek New Testament

as well as 

his 

King James Version Holy Bible.

How I remember 

And how I cherish

His memory.

One morning he was 

a bit late...and as

he set off, he 

normally had

prayer with me.

He said, pray for me, 

I'm late.  and he headed

off to work. 

To get there, he 

had to go from

Carson WA 

where we lived, 

go through a 

T U N N E L 

before he got 

to the Cascade Locks Bridge

which spanned

the river.

It was a good drive

every day

back and forth.

He never complained.

That day, after he 

left, I felt his desire

for me to pray,

and as I did, 

was overwhelmed 

with tears,

and a strange awareness

that he and I were

together

for the reason

of leading people 

to know Christ

and to disciple 
them.

I prayed not knowing

why and what

but that it 

was important 

that I 

place Henry and 

myself into 

the Lord's hands.

Well, the day

went on, and 

time came for Henry

to come from Parkdale, OR

where he worked at 

the U S F S Ranger Station.

As he came into 

the house, he smiled a 

big smile.

I asked him? 

Did any thing happen ? 

today ? 

And he said, 

June, I was traveling 

toward the tunnel, and 

all of a sudden I was

stopped because

the cars in front 

of me were

not moving.

I waited.  It was dark 

still, as the 

sun had not come up.
Someone came

to my window to

say, we just had 

a large rock fall 

onto the highway 

and it hit one car, and
damaged another.

You have to 

wait until we clear it

away.  

So, he said,, 

If I had not been LATE 

I could have died.

And here I am.

The next day we 

saw in the paper that 

it was a 17 ton rock 

that had fallen.

How they got everyone

going again, I do not 

know, but 

I was thankful

my husband 

trusted God 

and 

had asked me to

pray for him.

Psalm 1 tells us 

that the man 

who delights in 

the law of the Lord 

and 

meditates on it 

day and night

will 

be Blessed.

Psalm 1 

1. Blessed is the man

that walketh not in the counsel

of the ungodly, 

nor standeth 

in the way of sinners, 

nor sitteth in the 

seat of the scornful.

2.But his delight is in 

the law of the LORD, 

and in his law 

doth meditate 

day and 

night. 

3. And he shall be 

like a tree planted

by the rivers of water,

that bringeth forth

fruit in its season; 

his leaf also shall not 

wither; and whatsoever

he doeth shall prosper. 

4. The ungodly are not 

so, but like the chaff 

which the wind driveth away.

5. There the ungodly 

shall not sant in the 

judgment, 

nor sinners in 

the congregation

of the righteous.

6. For the LORD knoweth 

the way of the righteous,

but the way of the ungodly 

shall perish.

Romans 3.23   For 

all have sinned and come 

short of the glory of God.

Romans 6.23 

For the wages of sin 

is death, 

but the gift of God 

is eternal 

life

through Jesus Christ 

our Lord. 

John 3.3 

Verily, verily, I say unto 

thee, except 

a man be born again

he cannot see 

the kingdom of God. 

John 14.6 

Jesus saith unto them, I am 

the way, the truth and 

the life, No man cometh

unto the Father

 but by me.  

Time is ticking. 

The clock tell us so.

Jesus has given us

His promise 

that He not only

is the way, the truth, 

and the life

and that 

only by Him 

can we 

have a 

relationship

with 

the Father. 

Jesus said himself to

Nicodemus

who came to him

by night

"For God so loved

the world,

that he gave 

his only 

begotten 

Son, 

that whosoever

believeth 

in him 

should not 

perish,

but 

have 

everlasting

life.

My husband was to me

my love, my friend

and 

all because

He loved and knew the 

Lord Jesus Christ.

I was a sinner saved by grace also, and

knew the Lord as my Savior.

It took God and God 

alone 

to put two 

people together

who

when they married

would be 

ONE 

in 

Faith 

Hope 

and 

Charity

Charity is God's Divine Live

and 

it is 

His Love which 

draws us 

to Himself.

Jesus said before 

he went to the cross

that he was 

going to 

do just this - 

that he would die, 

would be buried, 

and would rise again 

all According to the Scriptures.

He did not mince his words.

He told the truth.

When He rose from

the grave.

He gave the command

"All power is given unto me

in heaven and in earth,

go ye therefore, 

and teach all nations, 

baptizing them in

the name of the 

Father 

and of the Son

and of the 

Holy Ghost, 

Teaching them to observe

all things 

whatsoever

I have commanded you, 

and, 

lo, I am with you 

alway, even unto 

the end of the world. Amen.

Matthew 28b. 18 - 20 

I present to you 

that just as my 

dear husband

stood for 

the KJV the Holy Bible

and 

did all he could

to serve 

to tell others

about His Savior

so too 

today 

I come to you

and say

as a widow 90 years young 

I came to Jesus as a sinner

and found Christ is everything

to me - 

and I long to share that 

Gospel 

the Good News 

that Jesus loves ALL 

God who is 

Merciful

came to dwell among 

us 

and make his 

home 

with us

until he 

Paid The Only Price

for sin 

(Matthew 1.21)

because

He was 

born 

of a virgin 

(Isaiah 9.6)

and 

born 

to be the Lamb of God

which taketh 

the sin of 

the world 

(John 1.29)

Why not trust Christ 

today? 

It is never too late

Jesus is coming soon.

It may be night

It may be noon. 

But it will be soon.

Those who trust him

become 

New Creatures.

Brand new babies.

What happens in the moment

you trust and 

pray 

Jesus, I thank

you 

for dying for me

in my place

and I 

ask you to 

forgive me

and 

wash me

and make 

me Clean, 

I ask you to come

into my heart.

It only takes a moment

but it lasts a lifetime.

and, 

the person 

who trusts Jesus

will 

live for ever.

It will be worth it all

when we see Jesus,

life's trials will seem so small,

when we see Christ! 

Jesus said, 

Ask and it shall be given you,

Seek, and ye shall find, 

Knock, and it shall be opened unto you,

Matthew 7. 7.  

 

Jesus also said, 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, 

He that heareth my word,

and believeth on him

that sent me, 

hath everlasting life, 

and shall not 

come into condemnation

but is passed from death

unto life. 

John 5.24 

Again Jesus said, 

And this is the will of him

that sent me, that \

everyone 

which seeth the Son,

and believeth 

on him, 

may have

everlasting life,

and I shall raise

him 

at the last day. 

John 6.40

What can wash my sin? 

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

What can make me whole again? 

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh, precious is the flow

that makes me white as snow,

No other fount I know, 

Nothing

 but the blood of Jesus
