DECOMMISSIONING/GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY

A decommissioning/groundbreaking cere-mony is Sunday, April 28. At this ceremony, we’ll decommission the original church building (not to be confused with the current Worship Cen-ter!) and break ground for the new building. The original church building – the tan brick building known in recent years as the school library

and administration building – is being razed to make room for our new multi-purpose facility. On April 28, we’ll gather in the old church building right after the 11:00 service for the decommission-ing, and then head outside for groundbreaking. A lunch reception in the gym will follow.

SHEPHERD’S MINISTRY OF THE MONTH: WELCOMING MINISTRY

Shepherd of the Hills has a long history of being a welcoming church. Whether you realize it or not, YOU are part of the welcoming ministry! If you have ever greeted an unfamiliar face, or shown a newcomer where to find the restroom, you have helped make someone feel comfortable as a guest in our church.

Everyone who enters our doors matters to God, and they matter to us.

If you enjoy meeting new people, we have a service opportunity for you! Please contact me at Melody@shepherdlutheran.com
