Rally Day 2023
September 10th is Rally Day Kickoff Sunday! Rally Day at Pacific Hills signals to us that the summer has ended, and the fall program is underway. Sunday school classes will begin their new program on September 10th. Our youth confirmation classes will have started up a few days earlier on September 6th.
We invite all teachers to participate in teacher installation, whether you are a Sunday School teacher or a small group leader. The Installation Service will take place at both services. Rally Day festivities will take place during the Sunday School hour in Acker Hall and will include refreshments. Pastor will discuss our Milestone Ministry, the Four Keys to Nurturing Faith and our Enduring Faith Curriculum. After this opening, the students will be dismissed to their classrooms for abbreviated instruction. Parents, please respond to Pam Hafsaas

Happy Independence Day!
What will you do to celebrate the Fourth of July? Maybe you will have a picnic and set off some fireworks or maybe you will just spend the day with friends and family and enjoy a long-awaited day off.
This week, on the 4th of July, we will celebrate our nation’s 245th birthday. On this day we celebrate the precious gift of freedom because of the price others have paid. The ideal of freedom is one that our founding fathers believed valuable enough to risk everything on. They risked their fortunes, their families, their reputations and their sacred honor. They risked their very lives and many of them paid for our freedom with their blood and the blood of their children.

Why The Pipe Organ?
One of the most frequent things I was told when I started at Pacific Hills was that everyone loves the organ so much! Being an organist, I was thrilled to hear this! The organ is a big part of worship, not just at Pacific Hills, but at many churches. It begins the service, it ends the service, and it leads everyone in singing. Have you ever thought about how the organ became the instrument of choice for worship?

Summer 2023 Music at PHLC
Summer 2023 Music at Pacific Hills Lutheran Church
It's hard to believe we are already at Pentecost Sunday and summer! This spring we've had wonderful music throughout the worship services,
from the brass quartet on Easter, to the Cello Concert and Concordia University Handbell Choir Concert for our Concert Series, and also the music shared by our talented congregational musicians in the choir, bell choir, cantors, and instrumentalists. Please be sure to thank these musicians for their time and hard work they do to make PHLC have beautiful music!

The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost
W
hen the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.
- Acts 2:1-4
