Shadow Rock UCC’s Golden Celebration Art Show Opening & Sale

Shadow Rock United Church of Christ has from the very beginning affirmed the goodness of life and celebrated the creative human spirit. Art, beauty, and a comprehensive view of life is a crucial part of who we are. In this spirit, we celebrate our 50^th Anniversary with a Golden Celebration of Community Art Show & Sale. This art show will feature artists from the Southwest, and many of whom share a connection with Shadow Rock UCC and the Moon Valley area.

This is a great opportunity to share some of the best of who we are with the community we are called to love and serve. The Art Show Team recommends that all of us invite four people to this event. In addition to the grand opening on Nov. 18th we will have the additional days and times for viewing on Nov. 19th, Nov. 26th and Dec. 3, 12-3 PM. Bring a friend, go to lunch, appreciate art, and be in good company.

There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people. ~ Vincent Van Gogh

OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE, VOLUNTEER, AND FIND YOUR JOY WITH OUR SAFETY, SOUND, AND TECH TEAMS!!

Safety Team Looking for Team Members

The Safety Team is in dire need of "extra hands on deck" during services including weddings and funerals. Our team's main operations are to keep everyone safe using "eyes and ears" and to assist in medical emergencies. You can still be a member of the congregation during these events, though we might need your extra help in an emergency! We do provide first aid classes for our team each year. Please talk/email Bill Peterson with questions or to say you want to help us out.

Shadow Rock Offers Hybrid Worship Experience

We can be together on Sunday morning in three ways. Join us in person. Join us by way of Zoom so you can share with us your thoughts, prayers, and celebrations. This is a way to be online and interactive. Contact us so we can send you the Hybrid Worship Service and Zoom link as an email. Join us by way of YouTube by going to the Shadow Rock UCC YouTube channel. Share with your friends and family.

Here is an example of a Sunday service.

We love the great things that have happened for people with our online presence. If you want to help us by volunteering to be a Zoom Host or Stream Master, please contact Pastor Ken at ken@shadowrockucc.org.
