With Jill
We had an amazing Easter Egg Hunt here at SOTP on April 8th! There were over 80 children that came out to hunt for candy filled eggs (photo below). We had such a great time. Thank you to everyone that donated candy, we were so very blessed with all the donations. Also thank you to everyone who took the time to fill 2400 eggs, it was a big job but with many hands involved it didn’t take very long!!!
Our next event is on Friday June 2nd, Ice Cream Social Summer Kick Off!!!! We will be kicking off summer with games, music, and ICE CREAM. This event is for the young and the young at heart, so everyone is welcome. Go to the SOTP website and register today.
Calling all VBS volunteers!!!! VBS is coming up fast, July 10-14. This years theme is Ready, Set, Move: Follow Jesus Here, There, and Everywhere! If you are interested or you have any questions on how you can help please contact Jill Gillming

Equipping
Here at SOTP, we want to be sure that everyone has access to the latest events and happenings here at the church. One of the best ways to keep up to date is through our church app called “Church Center”
Not only is this app updated with the most current SOTP information, it is a quick and easy way for all members to register for events, keep in touch with their groups and make requests for things such as room reservations!
During SEE week, we want to be sure to support anyone who is looking to get a better understanding of the app and how it is/can be used.
Feel free to reach out to our Operations Manager, Matt Morrison, anytime during the week to get one on one time specific to any questions you may have.
Contact: Matt Morrison matt@sotpmail.com
Brighten the Sanctuary
We continue to ask you to please consider signing up to donate flowers to brighten up the sanctuary. Each arrangement will be $50.
The bouquets are delivered from the florist for the weekend worship services. The flowers are yours to keep after the Sunday services or on the Monday following. The church is open from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
There are several ways to place an order for altar flowers. You can do so online with your regular offering, fill in the sign-up sheets located on the bulletin board in the church lobby, or you can contact me on dem910@outlook.com. When you order the flowers, you will need to provide your name, the date you would like them, your phone number, and for whom the flowers are dedicated to or in memory of. I will send you a special offering envelope for the payment in the mail. If you have any questions, please contact Diane Mollis.
Thank you for contributing to beautify the altar during our services at Shepherd of the Prairie.

For 2023-2024 School Year
Registration for the 2023-2024 school year is now open!
=> 12 slots are available for a 2-day class being offered on T/Th (for children who have turned 3 or 4 by Sept. 1, 2023)
=> 10 slots are available for a 1-day class on Wednesdays (for children who are at least 2 by Sept. 1, 2023)
=> There is also the option for your child to attend 3 days (Tuesday/Thursday and Fridays). We do highly recommend students who will be entering Kindergarten in 2024 to attend for 3 days, so they will be ready for Kindergarten the following year. Parents have been very pleased with their child’s progress after having been in the 3-day class and felt the extra day was instrumental in Kindergarten preparation.
The registration fee is $50.
Also, if you refer a new family that signs up to our program we will reduce their registration fee and yours to $25!!!
