On January 12, 2025 during the worship services, we will celebrate the Faith Milestone Welcome to the Family. During this Faith Milestone we will recognize, celebrate, and bless all God’s children who have been baptized in 2024 at Shepherd of the Hills. The families of those baptized are also invited to a luncheon on January 12, at Noon, in the Parish Hall.

Come celebrate the Epiphany with us at Lava Lava Island on January 12 from 2-4pm! 

This incredible venue is perfect for all ages, offering fun and excitement for toddlers, adults, and everyone in between. Run, play, jump, slide, and explore together as a family! We will cover the cost for all children between 1 and 10 years old and one parent per family. Additional family members can join for $12 per hour or $20 per day. Each child is encouraged to bring a gift for a child in need as their gift to Jesus. 

Sign up by Sunday, January 5, to secure your free tickets. We hope you can make it to this special celebration! Let’s make it a day full of joy, laughter, and giving. Sign Up Today!

Thank you for all the cookies that you provided for the ELC Christmas program. The parents and the kids loved them! 

Two of the goals we have in the ELC, beyond just teaching the love of Christ to the kids, are to build relationships between the parents and to build connections with our congregation. Your cookies helped us make progress on those goals! We let them know the cookies came from the congregation, so they know we’re here supporting them. 

It was fun to see the fellowship around the cookie tables after the program! When we do this again next year, I invite you all to join in the fun!

Please note that pledge forms need to be returned by January 31, 2025. Any donations for the 2024 tax year would need to be donated by December 31, 2024. You can also give through Elexio and select 'Debt Free Shepherd'.

How often do you get the opportunity to change the world? Playing a vital role in forming the minds of young children allows you to do that! The education that a child receives at a young age has a huge impact on their future success in school and well into adulthood. Please joins us and become instrumental in that formative education!
