Walk, Pray, and Connect Together
Sonja Almlie hosts a walking group on Wednesday mornings.
We’ll meet every Wednesday at 6:30 AM at Fountain Park, under the pavilion next to the splash pond. Together we’ll begin with a short Bible verse and prayer, then walk one or two laps around the pond.
Men and women are welcome — and feel free to bring a neighbor or friend!
This is a wonderful way to start your day with fellowship, fresh air, and encouragement in God’s Word.

Joan King Graveside Service
2025-10-09 12:30 - 13:00 | Shepherd of the Hills Columbarium, 16150 E. El Lago Blvd, Fountain Hills, AZ, 85268, United States
We give thanks to God for the life of our dear sister in Christ, Joan King, who entered her eternal rest at the age of 96. Joan was a beloved member of Shepherd of the Hills and a gifted quilter.
Her sons, Glen and his brothers, will hold a graveside service in the Shepherd of the Hills Columbarium on Wednesday, October 9, at 12:30 PM to lay both of their parents, Joan and her late husband Jerry, to rest together. The service will be brief, followed by a time of fellowship in the church hall, where friends and family can gather to celebrate Joan’s life.
We invite you to join us in surrounding the King family with our prayers during this season of both loss and gratitude for Joan’s long and faithful life.

Faith & Fellowship Sunday
2025-10-12 11:00 - 13:30 | Fellowship Hall, 16150 East El Lago Blvd, Fountain Hills, AZ, 85268, United States
Faith & Fellowship Sunday: A Special SOTH Gathering
﻿You’re invited to something a little different (and a lot of fun!) at Shepherd of the Hills on Sunday, October 12 — open to everyone: members, associate members, “thinking-about-it” members, friends, and anyone curious about SOTH.
At 11:00 AM in the Fellowship Hall, Pastor Jeff will lead Foundations & Spirit. Think of it as a crash course in “Lutheran 101” plus a look at what makes SOTH tick.
We’ll talk about our foundations (Faith, Word, Protect, Responsibility, Serve, Support) and our spirit (We Are Christ-Centered, We Glorify God, We Grace It Up!, Life is Better Connected).
Then at 12:30 PM, stick around for lunch — because what’s SOTH without food and fellowship? This month’s Second Sunday Social is rolled right in, so bring along an appetizer or dessert to share. The SOTH staff will host, and all you need to do is come hungry for conversation and connection.
Come learn, grow, and connect with your SOTH family — and invite a friend!

Do you enjoy music, photography, or making things run smoothly behind the scenes? Shepherd of the Hills is looking for volunteers to join our Worship Media Team — helping with sound, cameras, and projection during Sunday services.
You don’t need to be a “tech expert.” If you can pay attention, learn a few simple steps, and enjoy being part of a great team, we’ll teach you everything you need to know!
Join us on Sunday, October 19, immediately following worship (grab some coffee first!) for a short overview of our worship technology, new tips for enhancing our in-person and livestream services, and a chance to sign up for a one-on-one training session.
📍 Where: Sound Booth in the back of the sanctuary
🕙 When: Sunday, October 19, right after worship
Come see how a few buttons and a joyful heart can help share God’s message far and wide!

Light in the Dark: Finding Hope after Loss and Tragedy
2025-11-20 18:30 - 19:30 | Sanctuary, 16150 East El Lago Blvd, Fountain Hills, AZ, 85268, United States
Loss and Tragedy Can Feel Overwhelming and Can Pile Up in Our Soul
As the sky around us turns dark, our souls can feel dark and heavy burdened, especially as the holiday season approaches. But, as we name our losses before the Lord, that burden can lift and we move from darkness to light. This will be a powerful and healing experience.
