Frequently Asked Questions:
Must I be a member of Shepherd of the Hills UMC to partake in Communion?
The Communion Table is open to anyone who seeks right relationship with God. From children to adults, members or first-time worshippers all who come are welcome. The Methodist tradition is to serve grape juice rather than wine as part of this openness.
Is there a dress code at Shepherd of the Hills UMC?
It is Arizona and it can get hot! When you worship with us you will find people in a whole range of dress, from shorts and sandals to formal dress and men in sports jackets and suits. We encourage you to wear what makes you feel comfortable. We encourage you to come as you are and experience the love of Christ. As in 1 Samuel 16:7 – “Mortals look on the outward appearance but the Lord looks on the heart”.
How early should I arrive for service?
We encourage you to arrive 10-15 minutes before the start of worship if you are a first-time visitor. This will help you find a parking space and navigating around our campus without feeling rushed. We encourage you to check in at our Welcome Cart, located just outside of our Sanctuary. Greeters and Worship Hosts will help you with any questions, you may have.
Is there a nursery?
Not at this time but you are welcome to sit in the Narthex in the open window seats. There are small TVs in this area to hear and view the service. Don’t forget to stop by the Welcome Cart and receive goody bags for the children. Children are always welcome and encouraged to attend.
