  • Lent Worship

    This year at Shepherd of the Hills, connecting with our theme of Praying with an Open Heart, we will spend Lent evening services studying God’s gift of the best prayer outline, The Lord’s Prayer. Each week will focus on a petition of the prayer, concluding with Easter Sunday. 

    Learning together, let us rededicate ourselves to Christ and His mission of bringing others to know, grow, and go. 


    • KNOW Christ and His story of salvation
    • GROW in faith and service to Him and to His people
    • GO and tell others who are still in sin’s darkness and the shadow of death


    May this time of study and rededication be a blessing to all of us as we make the Lenten journey and reach its destination: the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ!

  • Pause to Pray

    Shepherd’s 2025-26 theme is: Praying with an Open Heart. We can certainly pray anytime and anywhere, with a formal prayer or a “from the heart” prayer. We can pray for as short a time as it takes to say, “Lord, help!” or as long as we need to pour the contents of our minds and hearts out to our Lord. Having a specific day and time to pray is also helpful! Every Wednesday at 12:12pm you can join us in prayer. We will have the Sanctuary open from Noon to 1pm every Wednesday to use this space to pray. You can read more in the PDF below.
