Coming Up

 

SHPC Men’s Night Out - Saturday, October 24 at Boda Borg & Hugh O’Neill’s Pub
Gentlemen, join us for a night of adventure and good conversation! We’ll kick things off at 7:30 PM at Boda Borg in Malden, an indoor team adventure where groups take on immersive, theme-based Quests. Each Quest combines problem-solving, teamwork, and varying levels of optional physical challenge—so come ready to think, work together, and have some fun! Then, at 9:30 PM, those up for more will head next door to Hugh O’Neill’s Restaurant & Pub for some food, drinks, and more time to hang out. Come for just Boda Borg, come for just O’Neill’s, or join us for both—we’d love to have you! Cost: Free admission (sponsored by SHPC Men’s Ministry), with individuals responsible for their own restaurant fare. For questions or help with rides, reach out! RSVP at the latest by 10/22 to Geren Stone or Matt Owens.

Sunday Volunteering
We will soon begin scheduling for our next quarter. Interested to find out how you can help? Please click here to find out more and sign up to serve. Open to all existing and interested new volunteers!
Seven Hills shares worship space with several other church congregations and organizations, which means lots of set up every Sunday. A rotating team of many valued adult and youth volunteers makes our weekly services and children’s programming possible each week. We encourage our regular attenders to serve the church occasionally as they are able and willing! From behind-the-scenes tasks like set-up, clean-up, nursery or classroom help, operating slides, to up-front tasks like playing an instrument, teaching a children’s lesson, or reading scripture during worship on Sundays, Seven Hills has a wide variety of service needs that all rely on volunteers of all walks, abilities, personalities, interests and individual gifts, and scheduling availability. No experience is necessary to serve—we will pair you with someone to show you what to do! Thank you to all our many volunteers!

Seven Hills Discovery
Thank you to those who joined us for our recent membership Discovery Lunch! For anyone thinking about making Seven Hills your church home, we’re always interested to hear from you. Whether you're new here or have been attending for a while, if you’d like to learn more about our beliefs, values, and mission, meet others, and ask any questions you may have about the church, please speak with or contact Pastor Matt or Paige Van Norstrand. We would love to chat!

TBD - stay tuned!

Looking Ahead

Friday Morning Prayer

Fridays, 6:30am-7:00 (Zoom link)

Seven Hills Church is committed to living out our devotion to God through the reality of prayer as we live in day-by-day dependence upon Him for all things. All are welcome any Friday to come pray together (in spirit, or aloud as you are comfortable) in response to Scripture, for our church, its impact in our city, and specific requests from our community. Please contact Matt Owens or Paige Van Norstrand anytime for prayer requests. Join us on Zoom starting 9/16: Friday Morning Prayer

Sunday Serving

Serving on Sundays can be a wonderful way not only to bless the church with your personal gifts and your time, but also to get to know others in our community! Our ministry teams are always seeking additional volunteers to help occasionally with Sunday worship services, in roles including Vocalists, Instrumentalists, Audio-visual Operators, Teachers, Classroom Assistants, Nursery Helpers, Set-up or Clean-up, Offering Ushers, Scripture Readers, and Liturgists. We welcome all levels and abilities, and experience is not necessary. To learn more about current volunteer needs in the church and consider ways you may be able to help, check out Serving in the Church or contact a team leader below.

Join the Finance Team

The Seven Hills Finance Team is seeking 2-3 more people (especially women and newer members/attenders) to serve on the team this year. Contact Luke Stone, SHPC Treasurer, to learn more about what serving on this committee entails and find out how you can help!
