2019 LCMS National Youth Gathering
This year’s LCMS National Youth Gathering took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota during July. Youth from Shepherd of the Hills and their leaders, along with over 21,000 of their closest friends, learned about the one, true, Real. Present. God. Focus centered on the Psalms and connecting to God through His holy word. Sightseeing, public transit travel, interactive center fun, servant projects, and mass events combined to create a week of bonding with friends in the faith and walking in the Word.
Thanks to all who contributed to making this journey in our Christian lives possible.
Thank you for participating in the Chili Cookoff!

Congratulations to all our winners and to all who made their special chili for us to try. Everyone enjoyed tasting the 10 varieties of chili. Almost 40 attended and had a blast with the food and fellowship while raising money for the kids trip to the Youth Gathering in Minneapolis this summer. A big thank you to those who provided the chili and condiments and to those who set up and cleaned up. A great event!! The Chili Cookoff took place on March 15, 2019 in the Gathering Place.

Confirmation
Five young people are now studying the six chief parts of Dr. Martn Luther’s catechism. They meet during the Sunday morning Bible study hour and discuss how we can grow in our relationship with God and respond to His love shown to us through His Son’s life, death, and resurrection as we look forward to His second coming. They will continue in these studies through May, 2020.
