High Schoolers, join our SHYP Bible Study for Summer At The Movies. Each Sunday we'll discuss a different movie and how we can use that movie to have "God conversations" (for those who heard Pastor Ben's sermon on May 10). 

You can see the full movie schedule from June until Fall Kickoff in September on the SHYP page of the website. We encourage you to watch the movie prior to that Sunday as we'll only be showing clips during morning SHYP. For any questions, contact Sina at swilliams@sothfamily.org.

FAQ | Do we decide who gets our quilts?

The short answer is no.  

As you’ve heard, these quilts and backpacks are used in response to disasters both here in the United States and around the world. The quilts and kits we make are first delivered to a local collection site. From there, they are sent to a Lutheran World Relief warehouse on the East Coast, where they are stored until there is a request for assistance.

When a need arises, LWR distributes the quilts and kits freely to people affected by disasters and other hardships. This year, our 48 quilts and 76 backpacks became part of a larger effort to provide comfort, warmth, and care to those who need it most.

Many of us at Shepherd are entering a new decade of life in 2026. You are all invited to the Gym to celebrate with Pastor Ben, Patrick/Bethany Barnthson, David/Cassie Schlecht, Ben Barstad, Angie Renner, and Gail Black. NO gifts. Seriously! RSVP to Bethany: bebarnthson@gmail.com, 720.403.1060.
