Summer Worship Schedule
 

 

We are happy to announce that we will adopt our “normal” summer schedule starting the weekend of June 5 and 6:

       Saturdays     4:00 PM Sweet Hour of Prayer – Chapel (With our beloved hymn sing)

       Sundays        10:00 AM Spirited Traditional  – Sanctuary

       Sundays        11:00 AM Coffee Hour – Fellowship Hall

 

*NEW CDC RECOMMENDATIONS:

FOR FULLY VACCINATED PERSONS (two weeks after final vaccine).

No masking or distancing is required outdoors or indoors. Capacity worship and singing in indoor chorus are considered safe.

FOR UNVACCINATED PERSONS

Continue masking, continue social distancing. Consider your safety in indoor groups and meetings (check the CDC chart posted on the doors of our meeting spaces).

Congratulations
Pastor Alma!

The Staff Parish Relations Committee is happy to announce that our two full-time clergy, Pastor Deborah and Pastor Alma, have been re-appointed by Bishop Bob Hoshibata to serve at Shepherd of the Hills United Methodist Church for another year. 

 

Our part-time Minister of Care, Stephanie Soon, has also been re-appointed to serve at SHUMC and has been received as a full member of the Desert Southwest Annual Conference. We look forward to all God has for us to do and be together in another year of ministry.

A New Option for Online Worship:

Live Stream our Service

If you are unable to join us for in-person for worship, the 9:00 AM Sunday service will be livestreamed each week. We start with Bill’s gathering music at 8:45 AM and move into the service at 9:00 AM (this will shift to 10:00 AM for most of the summer).

To join: Click on the picture below sometime after 8:45 AM (and before the service ends).                   

We will send out an email to all persons subscribed to our Constant Contact list on Sunday morning at 8:00 AM as a reminder. It will also include a registration link (which will take you TO the livestream after you register) and a direct link to the livestream.

Let us know how your experience is with this. This is a new technology for us and we are still perfecting our technology. 
 

MENDING HEARTS ART PIECES ARE COMPLETE

 

We present to you the gorgeous cross and butterfly art pieces created at the May 2021 Mending Hearts, Healing Spirit, Finding Hope event. The pieces represent the brokenness of the past year being put back together in these pieces. A reality of the healing process and the hope we find when committed to each other’s transformation in community.

Many thanks to ALL who made it possible for us to design, create and display these two tangible images of a hopeful vision of healing and hope. They will be displayed in their current location (south entrance of our campus) for a few months.

We hope you and our community enjoys them.

 SCHEDULE FOR RECORDED SERVICES – BEGINNING MAY 16, 2021
 
For the last year, as we have been unable to worship together in the sanctuary, we have pre-recorded the service so it could be released to the whole church by 3:30 PM Saturday afternoons.
 
Now that we are back in the sanctuary together, we will record the live service on Sundays instead. That means it will not be available to you quite as early. We expect to be able to send it out no later than Monday at noon. If we are able, we will get it out earlier. By that time, it will also be on the website and posted to our Facebook account and Facebook page.
 
Eventually, we hope to move to live streaming the service on Sundays at 9:00 AM. At that point, the recording will become available shortly after 10:00 AM Sunday morning for those who missed the live stream.
 
Thank you for your patience as we move through a season of transitions. Each Sunday is one of a kind and we are figuring it out as we go.
