In an expression of gratitude, Shepherd of the Hills Church Lutheran Church in Fountain Hills extends a “Thank You” to the Fountain Hills community for its collaborative efforts in bringing to life the 15’ x 8’ Community Advent Mural.

From August onward, individuals of all ages and varying skill levels have actively contributed to this artistic endeavor using a paint-by-number system, resulting in a collaborative masterpiece, according to a press release.

The culmination of these communal efforts is set to be revealed on Sunday, Dec. 3, during the church’s 9:30 a.m. service where attendees will have the opportunity to witness the unveiling of the completed mural showcasing the diverse talents that have shaped it.
