Shepherd of the Sierra Presbyterian Church

Thank you to all who participated in the All-Shepherd Music Gathering!

A message from our Music Director, Lee Hoffman:

This past Sunday, Sue Kurnett gave me a beautiful poster with this quote (thanks, Sue!): "Use those talents you have. You will make it. You will give joy to the world. Take this tip from nature: The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except those who sang best." ~ by Bernard Meltzer

Music in this church needs the full spectrum of experienced-inexperienced, skilled-unskilled. We MUST HAVE that variety and diversity of abilities so that we can express our community most completely. I invite you to send me an email to introduce yourself and learn more about how to give the gifts you may or may not even realize you have. Take a look at our schedule and yours - chances are, you'll be incredibly happy you decided to make room in your life for:

5:30-6:30 pm, Wednesdays: Shepherd Bells
7:00-8:30 pm, Wednesdays: Shepherd Choir
8:30-9:30 am, Sundays: Shepherd Praise Band

A huge thank you to the Property Oversight team for successfully installing our new platform! We invite you to join us in the Worship Center this Sunday at 10 AM to check it out.

What could be better than hearing a sermon from one pastor? How about two? There are just a few weeks remaining in our Summer Sermon Series, “Why Do We Do What We Do?” Join us as we dive into the meaning and significance of our worship practices through conversational sermons. We look forward to seeing you there!
