News & Notes
November 1, 2015
We’re so glad you came to worship with us this morning! Even
if this is your first visit, we want you to feel at home as we come
together to receive the gifts that God gives to us and to
respond to Him with our words, songs, and prayers.
Shepherd of the Hills is a church that loves families! While we
welcome children in worship, we invite you to explore our full
range of children’s programming available in our nursery,
Kingdom Quest Sunday School and Kids’ Church.
If you are a guest, it may help you to know that you can follow
along with the service in the printed bulletin or on the screen
at the front of the sanctuary. Please do not feel obligated to
give an offering. Also, we have provided a Bible for your use
during worship this morning in the pew rack. If you don’t have
a Bible of your own, please stop by the Welcome Booth to get
one to take home as our gift to you.
May God bless you as we worship the living God
together on this beautiful morning!
W elcome to worship!
We have an Assisted Listening System in Chapel East.
Ask an usher to borrow an earpiece!

Today’s Message
“The Communion Of Saints” Sermon Text: Hebrews 12:1-2
Page 1008, pew Bible
Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a
cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin
which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race
that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and
perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him
endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the
right hand of the throne of God.
