February 17th at 7:00 pm

Worship, music & imposition of ashes

Our journey to the joy of Easter begins with acknowledging our need for a savior.

Join us each Sunday in Lent as we explore the life of Jonah and Jesus’ call to us to heed the sign of Jonah’s life.

From My Window…

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Trite as the saying may be, it’s still true. If you don’t care where you’re going, any road will do. But how often do we truly not care where we end up? Even when we say we don’t care who picks the movie or the restaurant, just let someone suggest something and you’ll suddenly find you did care. The New Year presents all of us at Shiloh with the time to consider where it is we want to end up this year. End up individually. End up as a congregation. End up as part of the community around us. The New Year presents us with a time to decide what it is we actually care about. Then having figured out what that is, it is up to us as followers of Jesus Christ to try and discern how God would have us behave.

We begin this January building upon the momentum of our Advent and Christmas. Administrative Council will be meeting in retreat in mid-January for a training time on strengths-based leadership and communication. The entire church is invited to save Sunday evening, January 31st for a potluck dinner State of the Church gathering in which we will share our thoughts on Shiloh’s mission and ministry for 2010. Our Youth Group will continue its activities through Breath of Life, weekly gatherings and a weekend outing to the Winter Blitz 2010 at the Kentucky Convention Center. This yearly gathering of the youth of the Kentucky Conference is a loud, lively inspiring time of faith-sharing from some of the country’s leading youth speakers and musicians. Our Tuesday night small group resumes with “Bo’s Café”, a story of one man’s encounters with grace at an amazing café, published by the people who brought The Shack to publication. Our Sunday School class for adults will also begin a new study in January, “I Can’t See God Because I’m in the Way” in which we explore the possibility that God’s abundant life is present for us if we just change our spiritual perspective. Our women’s small groups on Sunday morning and Friday lunch continue meeting and will be selecting new materials later in the month.

The one thing we all know we care about is that Shiloh’s sense of family, where we know each person by name, continues to be central to our mission and ministry. Be sure to know that you will be missed if you are not with us in worship, in fellowship, in study and in ministry this January.

Weekend Youth Mission Trip

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Our Youth leaders are planning a Friday-Saturday Youth work mission trip through our friends at EDGE in Louisville for one of the weekends in October. This would be a great time for our middle school and high schoolers, as well as their parents, to join in a time of work and fun and prayer as we become the hands and feet of Jesus to our community.

  • Watch for details in September.
  • Worship for Lent

    Saturday, February 28th, 2009
    • March 1st Discernment: The Missing Peace
    • March 8th Discernment 101
    • March 15th Discernment: Reason’s Reason
    • March 22nd Discernment: A Visitor’s View
    • March 29th Discernment: The Future of Feelings
    • April 5th Palm Sunday Discernment: Not What We Expected
    • April 12th Easter Sunday Discernment: Never Saw Him Coming

    Join us during this season of Lent 2009 while we ask just how we are meant to seek God’s guidance for our lives. We can do more than just pray “God, open our eyes” and it is this ‘more’ that we will share in sermon and song and Scripture while we prepare ourselves for God’s triumphant revealing of His ultimate will for our lives in Jesus Christ.

    Bible Study Opportunities

    Saturday, February 28th, 2009
    • Bible studies during Lent include our Tuesday evening 7 pm AVBS which begins a new program “Good God Theatre” beginning on March 17th. An evening of biblical retellings through drama and humor, this promises to be a chance to revisit the stories of the Old & New Testament you haven’t seen in awhile. It’s a great study to invite friends to come to and experience Shiloh.
    • Friday noon women’s luncheon study continues with “Hoping for Something More” and the men continue to meet Saturday @ 7 am at the Dairy Queen working with Mark and Thursday evenings at 7 diving into Genesis.
