No construction skills are required, and SHP provides training and all tools and equipment. The build will take place at Delta College. Delta is requiring that all participants be at least 18 years old. In order to sign up, you must use the QR code in the flyer. Spaces are limited, so if you are interested sign up soon!

Deck the Halls - Advent Sermon Series
As we get out the Christmas lights, ornaments and tinsel to decorate our homes this year, it might be hard for some of us to feel the holiday cheer. We have truly been through a lot this year! In this season, as we prepare to celebrate the arrival of Jesus, we can prepare by decorating our lives with what matters: the hope, peace, joy and love of God.
Week 1: Deck the Halls with Hope | Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7
In times when we feel uncertain, God provides an answer.
Week 2: Deck the Halls with Peace | Scripture: Isaiah 26:7-13
In an uneven season of stress and distractions, God offers us the roadmap to peace.
Week 3: Deck the Halls with Joy | Children’s Musical
Week 4: Deck the Halls with Love | Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25
God is with us always and gives us the greatest gift of love, the choice to accept it, and the call to share it.
Christmas Eve/Christmas Day: Deck the Halls for Christ | Scripture: Luke 2:1-20
We come this day to celebrate the birth of Christ, the Savior of the world.
Week 5: Deck the Halls with a Promise Fulfilled | Scripture: Luke 2:22-40
As we celebrate the promise of God, fulfilled in Jesus, we hold onto God’s promises for our lives too.
Christmas Eve Worship
We hope you and your family will join us for our candle light Christmas Eve service. Let’s celebrate the coming of Christ together with joy! Yummy treats will be served after.
