The Outreach Committee functions as the coordinating committee for our congregation's intentional sharing of our time, talents, and gifts with the local, national, and world community.
As a partnership church of the Disciples of Christ and the United Church of Christ, we participate in three special offerings during the year:
- One Great Hour of Sharing/Week of Compassion is our yearly Offering through our two denominations to the on-going work of Church World Service to be both first and sustaining responders to crises throughout the world
- Tools of Hope and Blanket program. Also through Church World service, provides basic survival supplies to victims of crises and provides the tools necessary to recover and return to self-sufficiency. This offering is typically held on Father's Day
- Neighbors in Need which targets money specifically for Native American congregations reinforces and supports our commitment to the Native American community and our local ministry to them through the Song of the Earth weekly celebrations
Our Mother's Day offering helps to support women's projects around the globe.
Our 250 FUND helps people facing homelessness by providing monetary, counseling, and job search assistance. Since its inception in 1990, we have helped more than 114 families.
The Outreach Committee takes seriously Shepherd of the Hills' commitment to be God's hearts and hands in the world as we provide opportunities for our members to share the extravagant abundance that the Loving Spirit has given us.
