First worship services were held May 10 at Shepherd of the Hills, Las Vegas—one of six new congregations established last year with the assistance of Home Missions. More than 120 people attended. Of the 100 first-time visitors, about one-third were existing prospects; the rest were new faces who had seen flyers, mailings, and newspaper ads.
