Set Up and Take Down

In order to continue with our great tradition of offering Lenten Meals in between services every Wednesday, we need volunteers to help with table & chair set up and take down. We need 4 adults to help with set up and 4 adults to help with take down each week.

Set up will take place EVERY SUNDAY at 10am. With the help of the catechism kids this will take about 15 minutes.

Take down on Wednesdays will begin at about 6:00pm and takes about 25 minutes (or less).

Please reach out to Tanya Van Someren with any questions.

Recovery Ministry

Our congregation offers a Recovery Ministry that is held in the west classroom at SOTH on Sunday night from 7 to 8. It is open to all members, family, and friends who are struggling with, or have struggled with, a specific sin, addiction, trauma, or hardship in their life. With the help of the Lord and strong Christian fellowship we hope to guide and support all who are in need of help with full confidentiality. Some biblical inspiration for this ministry comes from James 5:20, who reminds us that: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover a multitude of sins.

Grief Share

Friends and family, the holidays are particularly difficulty when grieving a loss. Please join us as we navigate the path of grief together starting Tuesday, January 23rd, 2024. Shepherd of the Hills will provide the books at no charge and kindly ask for a donation to go toward purchasing snacks and future materials.
