Minute of Mission - LaGonave Haiti Partners’ mission is for Haitian and American partners to build vibrant, hopeful, and resilient communities on the island of LaGonâve. Due to the pandemic, Shallowford’s support has shifted from in person support through an annual mission trip, to fulfilling Amazon Wishlists and collecting donations. Shallowford School and Church members are on LaGonave’s Board, Education, and Development Committees in an effort to support ongoing needs. To support the mission, head to lagonavepartners.org.

Joy Chorale - Calling all adults who like to sing! We have a daytime choir that meets Mondays at 11:00 a.m. in the choir room. To join the choir, please email Mark Ridings, Associate Director of Music Ministries, at [email protected] to state your interest.

The Westminster Bell Choir (Grades 3rd-5th) meets Wednesdays from 5:15 to 6:00 p.m. in the sanctuary as a part of the BLAST program. No prior handbell ringing experience is necessary. Children LOVE ringing bells, and we would love to have many be a part of it. To join, email Mark.

You call us to build up your body in love and to maintain the unity of the spirit. Forgive us when we tear down rather than build up, or when we allow differences to be excuses for division.
