“Glorifying God and Making Disciples Who Witness and Serve”
This Week’s Service
Sunday Worship
This Sunday, June 22, we invite you to join us for worship as we explore Galatians 3:23–29, where Paul boldly proclaims that in Christ there is no longer Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female—for all are one.
The sermon, titled “Painfully United,” will reflect on the deep truth that our unity in Christ is both a gift and a challenge. In a world that often divides and separates, how do we live into a faith that calls us to see one another as siblings, even when it’s difficult or uncomfortable?
Come as you are, and let us gather as a diverse and beloved community, learning what it means to be united, not by sameness, but by grace.
SHPC We Want to Hear From You!
We’re beginning a season of listening—listening for God’s Spirit and the voices of our church family and neighbors.
This box is here to gather your thoughts, hopes, and ideas. Whether it’s something we could start doing, something we could stop, or something we could do more faithfully, your voice matters. Look for a box in the hallway.
| Children’s Church We would like to continue Children’s Church during the summer, so, parents, we will need your help. Please sign up to volunteer for at least one Sunday. All members are encouraged to volunteer. The signup sheet is in the hallway or you can contact Susan Tomlinson @ 251-209-0792. We still need volunteers for all Sundays in August. |
Trip to Ocean Springs
The Religious Arts Committee invites you to a day of art, exploration, and great food on Saturday, June 21! We’ll meet at the church at 8am and carpool together to Ocean Springs to visit the Walter Anderson Museum, stroll through the charming downtown, and enjoy a delicious meal at Aunt Ginny’s Catfish. Make plans to join us for this inspiring and fun-filled day
trip! Sign up in the hallway so that we can finalize reservations.
USA offers a free, eight week course on balance and we are surveying the congregation to see if there is enough interest to schedule the course at SHPC. Shana Noland, RN, MSN and Becky Scarbrough, BS, teach the eight week course which is held once a week for two hours. A minimum of 8 participants is required to make the class and if we have enough interest, we can choose the day and the time we’d like to schedule it. The class is especially designed to reduce the fear of falling, to set goals for increasing activity levels, making small changes to reduce fall risks at home, and exercise to increase strength and balance. If you are interested, please call the church office at 251-342-1550 or Molly Wagner at 251-348-6892.
Flowers in the Sanctuary
If you would like to reserve flowers for the sanctuary we have 19 weeks to fill until the end of the year, please call or email Ann Magee at 251-232-4646 or [email protected]
Bible Discovery
Bible Discovery invites you to our Sunday School class, Sundays at 9:15 in the Conference Room. We are excited to introduce our new Bible Study “The Mighty Acts of God. “Join us on this pilgrimage from the Garden of Eden to the New Jerusalem.
The church office will be closed on Thursday July 3 for the 4th of July Holiday.
Spring Hill Sunday
“Please plan to worship with us on Spring Hill Sunday, July 13. We will celebrate the anniversary of our congregation’s founding with joy and thanksgiving for God’s love and grace poured out on and through our church family. This year, Courtney Perry will preach and the intergenerational instrumental ensemble, led by Buddy Porter, will play. Members of the congregation will lead all parts of the service. Come celebrate all that God has done and is doing through Spring Hill Presbyterian Church.” After worship we will have a reception in the Fellowship Hall to celebrate Jaqueline Marrero’s 100th Birthday.

VBS NEEDS CREW LEADERS: Our True North VBS will be from 8:30-12:00 Monday-Thursday, July 7-10. We have station leaders for the activities, but need a few more Crew Leaders to escort your designated group of children through their station rotation and stay with them during the activities. It’s a great way to get to know the kids and see the fun! Adults and older youth are welcome to be Crew Leaders. Please let Karen Dungan know if you are interested: (573) 310-9171, or [email protected].
SPOTLIGHT VBS: Seeking someone willing to take pictures of our children during VBS. Need action pictures; but also each child will receive a small picture of themselves as a keepsake.

Kids will be guided on the ultimate Alaska adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As kids trek the tundra, they’ll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our world today. Pointing them toward Jesus. True North VBS Shows them that he is faithful friend we can always trust. He’s our True North.
Station Leaders are the core of True North. These are the people who prepare and teach the material in the station leader manuals, demonstrating to the kids who attend VBS what it means to trust Jesus in everyday life. There are descriptions of the leaders that are needed posted on the VBS bulletin board. If you are interested in volunteering to fill a position, please sign up on the list posted or online.
