And in the
church God has appointed first of all apostles, second
prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also
those having gifts of healing, those able to help
others, those with gifts of administration... 1
Corinthians 12:28
The
Church Council, the Church Office, and staff members
communicate with the congregation in many ways. The
purpose of these communications is to inform members and
friends about future events, as well as reporting
results or happenings to celebrate or prayers and
support needed.
Daily: (Monday through Friday, 8:30am - 4:00pm)
If
you have a question, please call the Church office at
425.392.7799 and we will find the answer to your
question to the best of our ability.
Website: We maintain our website daily at
www.shlc.org. If you
have internet access, please set this up as one of your
favorites. Anytime of the day or night, you can access
information about the ministries of Sammamish Hills at
this website. If you have questions or need to change
your area of ministry, please email to Kim Rodriguez
(formerly Howarth)
(Kim@shlc.org) those
changes or additions.
Weekly:
The
most important place to locate current information is
weekly in the What's Happening" inserted in the
Church Bulletins. If you have an announcement about your
ministry area, the deadline is Tuesday at 12:00 noon
each week. Your announcement needs to go to Kim
Rodriguez (formerly Howarth) (Kim@shlc.org)
or by calling her at 425.392.7799 x.11.
Individual program areas (e.g. High School Ministry,
Middle School or Confirmation Ministry, Sunday School)
regularly communicate to parents and students by email
and newsletter.
Monthly:
A
monthly newsletter is mailed to all those on the
newsletter mailing list typically the last week of the
month in order to highlight those events and activities
coming in the next month. Deadline for this newsletter
is the 15th of each month to Kim Rodriguez (formerly
Howarth) (Kim@shlc.org)
Periodically:
Email
news updates and announcements are periodically sent
regarding important issues to the life of the
congregation. If you wish to be added to the broadcast
email list, please contact George Tundrea
(george@shlc.org).
And at home, put the shlc.org domain in your safe list
so that the email will not go into your junk email box.
Mailings using bulk mail (pre-paid postage) are
periodically sent to members and friends on important
issues to the life of the congregation. They include,
but are not limited to, contribution statements,
invitations and announcements about special events,
letters from the Church Council about meetings of the
congregation, as well as special events. If you wish to
be included on these mailings, please contact George
Tundrea
(george@shlc.org).
Each spring and
fall, the church holds a "clean up" of the church
grounds and buildings. Volunteers come to weed, prune,
bark, mow and edge, wash windows and help in other ways
all over the church grounds. In the spring, this gives
us a "jump start" on summer and beautifies the grounds
for Easter; in the fall it is a time to clean up all the
leaves and overgrown areas prior to winter. Watch the
church weekly What's Happening bulletin for
announcements of work days and join us!
Our three parking lot
kiosks are changed monthly to reflect the current season
and events taking place here at Sammamish Hills. These
efforts strive to keep both the community and our
members informed of all that is taking place here in our
congregation.
Team Leader:

Team Members:
Deb Grove, Diane Lee, Evelyn Cleeton, Juli Johnson,
Margaret Rosenow, Sandi Heller
We have established a
visually pleasing and archival safe photo album of most
of the members, events and ministries of SHLC.
Volunteers meet on
a regularly monthly basis to work together. We have
transferred the church history from deteriorating books
with no documentation to an engaging story for anyone to
enjoy. Be sure to look at the scrapbooks from 1980-1996.
We are currently working on photos and documentation for
1997 and later. If you have photos or other information
for any year, please donate them for the scrapbook. Even
digital photos are welcome. Be sure to add the name of
the event, the date, and names of persons on the
picture. The entire congregation benefits from this
project.
