We will be providing donuts in-person after the Parking Lot service on the front lawn. Outside door A. Coffee will not be served, so if you desire coffee with your donut, please provide your own travel mug of your favorite java or other beverage of your choice. We are so ready to reconnect with each other in this safe, socially distant manner. Please join us!

Focus question: What does it mean to be witnesses today?

We are extending the Ralph Reeder Paper Drive through April
In light of the resounding success of our March Paper Product Drive for Ralph Reeder (and their continued need) we are extending the drive through April! Bring in a product you hadn't brought in yet or bring in more, our neighbors truly can use these items and Ralph Reeder cannot get reduced cost for purchasing them as they can for food items. You can drop off your donations at Shepherd Monday-Friday ​9am-4pm (during office hours) outside door G and the staff will bring them inside. The Oltmans will continue to be deliver them from Shepherd to Ralph Reeder so a huge thank you to them for continuing to keep us connected to Ralph Reeder in this strange time.
Shepherd’s Spring Season of Service 2021
Sunday, April 25th through May 23rd we are inviting individuals, families, and self-organized groups to safely do acts of service throughout this month and share on social media or send in pictures to staff@shepherdshoreview.org. Join us for worship on April 25th as kick off this great event. Here is the Spring Season of Service Flyer with many ideas and ways you can help out. Let’s fill our month with loving and serving our neighbor! 
PARKING LOT WORSHIP IS MOVING TO 10:00AM
  • Worship begins at 10:00am
  • Since worship begins at 10:00 please plan to arrive by 9:45am.
  • Enter the parking lot from the southernmost driveway, closest to door C/Preschool Entrance and Cummins.
  • When you do arrive you'll be directed to your pew, or rather your parking spot, by an usher.
  • Once you are parked, please be aware of other cars pulling in and their need to get safely to a parking spot. Please, do not gather in parking spaces designated for cars to park. This makes it very difficult for our ushers to find adequate spaces for our attendees and can be a safety risk for drivers trying to get parked.
  • BULLETIN: Be sure to print the bulletin for the service tomorrow (we will have a limited number to pass out). 
  • We will be using a transmitter that will allow you to listen to worship through your speakers. Tune into 88.9 FM
  • If you are able, drive your shortest vehicle (height-wise) to allow for the best viewing for those behind you.
  • In the spirit of keeping us all safe, we ask that you please practice safe social distancing.

Matching Funds update:
You’ve heard mentioned the past couple of weeks in worship and in the newsletter that we’re in the midst of a matching fund campaign. Our giving hasn’t been what it was projected and we saw some gaps appear, the same is true for our ministry partners. Last month many of us saw another round of stimulus funds appear in our accounts and we got to thinking about the good we could do with those funds. From the deep generosity of several of our Shepherd members we’ve received $12,500 in pledged funds that will be going to Holy Hammers of Habitat for Humanity and now we turn to you, the entire Shepherd community and are working toward raising the next $12,500. I am excited and elated to share that we’ve already raised nearly $2900 of that $12,500 that’s almost 25%! We’ve got a great start now have the opportunity to turn that start into momentum and reach our goal. I invite you to pray about this and dig deep and generously. To give to this campaign reach out to Pastor Brice and he can point you in the right direction.
