Pastor Vernon Meyer of Sun Lakes United Church of Christ will lead a tour to the Passion Play in Oberammergau in 2020.

The Passion Play is an event held every 10 years to celebrate the end of the plague in the small town of Oberammergau in the Bavarian region of southern Germany. The villager’s prayers were answered by God and therefore in 1634 the first Passion Play took place. The promise has been kept until today. 2020 will mark the 42nd time the play had been presented. The play is a sell out and the only way to get tickets is through a package tour.  The group will be visiting Vienna, Innsbruck and Salzburg in Austria, Oberammergau and Munich in Germany.

Begins Tuesday, September 24, 2019 , 6:30 PM 8:30 PM at Shepherd of the Hills UCC

Sunday, June 16, 2019 has become a historic day for our congregation as we voted to Call Rev. Michael T. Bush by a 100% majority as our new settled Senior Minister. Pastor Michael, as he prefers, is currently in his eighth year at the United Church of Christ at Valley Forge, PA and has now given his required 60-day notice. He comes to us with 25 years’ experience as a UCC senior pastor having served in four other churches on both coasts. He anticipates being relocated to Tucson and in the office in early September. Over 100 members and friends attended the afternoon Meet and Greet session with Rev. Bush on Saturday, July 15th.
