A New Address and a New NameThe first service in the new facility will be on 7th July and will be aired in New Zealand in October.

This delay is to allow for change over, fit out and for the technical team to get everything ready for transmission. Internationally we will be airing re-runs for that period. (This is in keeping with traditional period of re-runs which Hour of Power had until 3 years ago).

The final service in the Crystal Cathedral will be on the 30th June and we will air in October (date to be finalised).

The name Hour of Power will remain but the church will become Shepherd’s Grove which reflects the area’s early history. Below is Bobby’s explanation of the decision on the name:

“Back when the Garden Grove Community Church was still young, my grandfather purchased a statue of Jesus: The Good Shepherd. Unfortunately he used the $500 he and my pregnant grandmother had saved up for her delivery. When he told her, she was understandably upset and an argument ensued. Later that night as she was filling her car with gas she was terribly surprised by sirens, flashing lights, and confetti falling from above her. She was the 1 millionth person to fill up with gas at this particular station and received a grand prize of…$500!”

“This statue has become a wonderful symbol for our church, and still is to this day.

Special OfferOur Growing 5000 Partners commit $25 per month to support this Ministry. Last month, in appreciation for their ongoing commitment, we sent them a 4GB memory stick with a clear reminder of the cross of Jesus Christ, the source of our hope.

The NZ office has commissioned the stick with a casing made of lovely natural bamboo.It has been loaded with some Hour of Power material both nostalgic and recent but it can be wiped if the space is needed.

We are now making this great gift available to all of our supporters buy for the special price of just $25.

If you want to take advantage of this offer for yourself or as a gift for the computer savvy person you knowand help keep Hour of Power on air in New Zealand please contact the office to place an order.

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT.

HE MAKES ME LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES;

HE LEADS ME BESIDE QUIET WATERS.

SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY WILL FOLLOW ME

ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE,

AND I SHALL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER.

23RD PSALM

The Good Shepherd statue has been with us from the beginning and has long been our logo. It tells us that Jesus is our shepherd and that he will never leave us or forsake us, a theme we are holding onto during such tumultuous times.”

“The new church will be called Shepherd's Grove! It will be the third name for our congregation! When we were collecting possible names, we received thousands of entries, the word “grove” came up often. So did “shepherd.” When this name came up we knew it was perfect (and we hope you like it).”

“It's easy for so many of us to worry, but when we do we should quiet our hearts, pray, and allow Jesus, the shepherd of our souls, to enter into our situation and give us peace, rest, and clarity.”

Robert and Bobby

Congratulations Daniel!

Farewell Meta

As the Hour of Power enters it’s last days at the Crystal Cathedral we were treated to Bobby interviewing his father, Robert Anthony Schuller.

It was has been six years since Robert has been in the Crystal Cathedral and an absolute treat for supporters who enjoyed listening to him in the past. There was a palpable warmth between father and son and a number of issues were discussed surrounding Robert’s absence for the first time in front of the congregation. (You can view the interview on 7th July.)

Mrs. Schuller, 83, suffered a stroke early in May. She has been working with therapists to regain use of her left arm and leg and has received a positive evaluation from her doctors. Please keep Dr. and Mrs Schuller in your prayers at this difficult time.

24 year old Meta McDonald who sang in the Crystal Cathedral Academy Choir passed away on April 20th.

Many Hour of Power viewers were aware of Meta’song struggle with brain and spine cancer and were praying for her. Our sympathies are with her family.

Daniel McGrew has been cast in the title role of Orfeo in Monteverdi’s “L’Orfeo Favola in Musica” to be performed this year in Arezzo, Italy.

Daniel was a student at Crystal Cathedral Academy and still sings at many services. He is now completing his fourth

s e m e s t e r a t O b e r l i n Conservatory in Oberlin, Ohio. This talented young man has performed two main-stage roles with the Oberlin Opera Theatre, spent two winter terms studying and performing as part of Emmanuel Music’s Bach Institute, appeared as a featured young artist with Windsor music in Boston, and performed on numerous concerts, recitals, and master classes in Oberlin.
