The Worship Committee has organized a spiritually-uplifting calendar of events for our church and they invite you to celebrate the season!
Saturday, Dec. 3rd–CHURCH DECORATING GET-TOGETHER
9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. — Come help put up the Christmas trees, garlands, wreaths, and table decora-tions that make our church so beautiful for the holidays. This is a wonderful tradition of our church. The Worship team will provide hot chocolate, holiday cookies, and Christmas music to keep us in the spirit. Meet in the Fellowship Hall.
Sunday, Dec. 4th – HANGING OF THE GREENS SERVICE
10:00 a.m. — Another time-honored tradition of Shepherd of the Hills is our “Hanging of the Greens Service.” Loaded with classic Christmas hymns and musical masterpieces, this beautiful service brings together our Christian Education groups, Worship components, and congregation in complete celebration of Christ’s coming. Following the service, the Lisco sisters (Cody, Kim, and Kelly) will host the fellowship hour with their delicious wassail and Christmas treats.
Sunday, Dec. 18th – Performance of the “THE MESSIAH”
4:00 p.m. — Fred Taylor will direct this masterpiece for the entire community in our sanctuary. (see more details in related story “Artcore and Casper Chamber Music Society Concert: Handel’s Messiah” on page 5)
Wednesday, Dec. 21st – CHURCH CHRISTMAS DINNER / LONGEST NIGHT
6:00 p.m. — The Longest Night Service will be conducted in unison with the Church Christmas Dinner and the entire congregation is welcome to attend. The LOGOS will serve the meal, which will be a potato bar provided by Pathfinders and LOGOS families. Following the family-style dinner, everyone will head to the sanctuary — which will be dark for the service. As is our tradition, donations of children’s hats, gloves, mittens, and scarves will be accepted for the Pine Ridge Christmas Tree. LOG-OS members are asked to meet at the church at 5:00 p.m.
Saturday, December 24th – CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE
7:00 p.m. — The Christmas Eve service will be traditional with communion in the pews and the candle-lighting service. Bring breads or baked goods to share for the fellowship time afterwards. Any leftover treats will be used for Christmas Day.
Sunday, December 25th – CHRISTMAS DAY SERVICE
10:00 a.m. —The Christmas Day service will include a Christmas story by Pastor Lynn, and musical requests (favorite carols) by the congregation.
11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. — “Christmas Brunch” potluck!!! Several congregational members thought up this new idea… a pot-luck and fellowship time, for our church members who might not have family in town for the holiday. Plan to bring a main dish, side dish, or salad to share. We will have leftover cookies for dessert, and the Worship Committee will provide drinks. A sign-up sheet will be posted in the upcoming weeks.

Christmas Blessings to All of You!
