This fall, Shepherd of the Hills is launching a newSHPC Brodie Campus near Manchaca. The SHPC Bro-die Campus will offer an 11 a.m. contemporarySunday worship experience and will have the samesermon as the SHPC William Cannon Campus. It willalso have the same great children's ministry thatmarks our church. It is, in every way, Shepherd ofthe Hills, just in a new location. We're excited tohave Ted Thulin on board, who will serve as ournew campus pastor as we launch the Brodie loca-tion.

We are seeking to build a core group of peoplewho are excited about reaching the rapidly-grow-ing south part of Austin for Christ. We would lovefor you to consider making an 18-month commit-ment to being a part of this new campus.That's a BIG commitment & we know you’ll have alot of questions. So we have a series of dessertsdesigned to answer all your questions and give youa chance to meet Ted. We’ve held two, but thereare two more: at Wayne & Pam Gonzalez’s homeon July 9th and Rich & Laura Morales’ home on July11th. The gatherings begin at 7 p.m. & end at 8:30p.m. Dessert (of course!) and drinks will be pro-vided.

Would you like to come to one ofthese desserts? Pick your date andthen call Ted @ 512-892-3580, on Ted's cell anytime (606-312-1498), oremail Ted atted@shpc.org. We wouldlove to have you join us!
