  • 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!

    From 6:15-6:30pm, prior to Lent Wednesday services, the Sanctuary will be available for quiet prayer. The doors from the Welcome Center to the Sanctuary will be closed as a reminder to enter quietly for worship and respect those who are praying. 


    If you wish, you may: 

    take a prayer request paper as you enter the Sanctuary

    fill it out with your request(s) 

    fold and place in the baskets on the altar, at the foot of the cross


    These prayer baskets will be lifted up during the worship prayer time with these words: 

    Our Father in heaven, we offer these prayers to You. Jesus promised, “Come to me with your burdens, and I will give you rest.“ And we trust Your word that says, “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayer.” As the Holy Spirit cries out to You on our behalf, hear and respond according to Your loving and gracious will.    


    This is quiet time for us to spend with our church Family and our Lord. You are welcome to take advantage of this special prayer opportunity!

  • 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.
