Shepherds’ Notes

Exciting Days Continue for Our Walter Hill Family!

  As we move through the final weeks of 2025, and it’s hard to believe that it is already November, our Walter Hill family has much to look forward to!  We continue to be blessed with visitors, fellowship, ministry opportunities, and exciting progress on our building project.  The next phases of our building project will occur around several scheduled events.

  First, mark your calendars for our Annual Gospel Singing on Friday, November 14, starting at 7:00 p.m.  We’ll enjoy an evening filled with singing, encouragement, praise, and fellowship.  Please invite friends, neighbors, and family—this is a wonderful outreach opportunity to share the love of Christ with others.

  The week following our Gospel Singing, our general contractor will begin constructing a temporary wall inside the auditorium.  This will allow work to continue safely and efficiently on the build-out of our new pulpit area.  We will lose some seating capacity, so we need to make sure we try to consolidate seating as much as we can and move to the center of the rows to allow room for our visitors.  We will have an overflow room available, but we should make every effort to make room for all who want to worship with us.

  Next, make plans for the little ones to join us for Cookies with Santa on Saturday, December 6.  More details of this event will follow, but it is another outreach opportunity and will bring many visitors to our facility and provide an opportunity to teach the gospel.

  Immediately following our Cookies with Santa event, the general contractor will begin demolition of the small kitchen area and the Adult 1 and Adult 2 classrooms.  The existing pulpit and baptistry area will remain and that demolition will occur after the new pulpit area is mostly completed.   As of right now, we are not anticipating having disruptions to our Sunday morning assemblies.                                                                       

  The entire construction and remodel process is moving along smoothly, and we thank everyone for your prayers, support, and flexibility.  Our remodel and expansion represent more than a physical update—it’s an investment in the spiritual growth of our church family and an opportunity so spread the gospel in our community.  Our goal is not to build walls and classrooms, but to convert souls to Christ!
