Bird City Bike Coop ministry draws its power from the hope of the gospel – a stretching out toward justice. This gospel fights for the mobility and dignity of our neighbors and friends, providing them with a vital service that has the potential to change lives. The Bird City Bike Coop is God’s love on wheels. Roll on. (Christopher Schouten, March 15, 2026)

Since the early days of the pandemic in 2020, Daily Morning Prayer has been a steady and faithful practice at Shepherd of the Hills UCC. What began as a way to stay connected during a time of isolation has grown into a meaningful rhythm of prayer, scripture, and community that continues to nourish many each day.
We gather every weekday morning, Monday through Friday, via Zoom for a brief and grounding time of prayer. Pr. Rock leads prayer three days a week, with two other UCC pastors leading on the remaining days. Over time this circle has grown to include people from across the country, with participants now joining from every U.S. time zone.

Shadow Rock hosted a town hall with four U.S. Representative answering questions and responding with respect and compassion!
Hundreds of community members came together in Phoenix to demand answers—and they made one thing clear: Trump and Congressional Republicans are making life harder for working families.
From rising costs for groceries, health care, and utilities to attacks on immigrants and basic rights, people are feeling the impact every day. While billionaires get tax breaks, our communities are left to pick up the pieces.
But instead of staying silent, people showed up. They asked hard questions. They organized. And they’re building the power needed to hold leaders accountable and fight for a future that puts people first.
This is what people-powered democracy looks like.
