New Year, New Emphasis

         

2013 brought with it lots of newness: new worship services, new campus and even new babies.  God has been birthing within us all kind of new visions, new dreams, and new strategies for claiming our community and the city of Cincinnati for Jesus Christ!  But with all that newness there are moments when we need to take a step back and say what is working, what is not working.  As the Leadership Council and the pastoral staff has reflected on 2013, we’ve recognized that we need to be more intentional with our outreach emphasis in Price Hill and not spread ourselves too thin.  So that’s what we are doing.  How you might ask:  first, we will be communicating what’s happening at Price Hill on a more regular basis, giving everyone simple opportunities to be involved, and our pastoral staff will rotate preaching schedules beginning with once a month.  We recognize we need to make what’s happening at Price Hill more visible to the Delhi Campus.  It is our first priority!

Second, we will be transforming what we do on Saturday Nights.  Instead of offering a weekly fourth worship option, we are going to be concentrating our efforts to one intensive service per month.  On the first Saturday Night of the month beginning with Saturday, February 1, 2014, we will be launching Saturday Night Alive.  We are transforming our weekly Saturday Night worship service into an intense monthly worship experience!  There will be more music, a light message, followed by communion.  Children’s ministry will be provided. These Saturday Night Alives are not going to be ordinary worship services, so you are not going to want to miss them.  Our last weekly Saturday Night worship service will be January 11th.  

You will also see more emphasis placed on care, follow up with people who are new and with people who have been at Shiloh for a while.  2014 is going to be an incredible year, with this new year we have a new focus so that we can make 2014 our best year ever! 

On Mission with you, 

Pastor Rachel
