Summer Ministry at Good Shepherd

Here at Good Shepherd, summer does not slow us down. To us, the green of summer is like a green traffic light, telling us to go out and serve. That is why we have tons of events planned this summer, including:

- Service Projects

- Youth Events

- Fellowship Events

- and much, much more

To see a calendar of these events, check out the Summer 2009 Edition of the Pastor's Letter. The letter also includes a sign-up sheet that we ask everyone to please fill out and return to the church office as soon as possible, so we know who and how many to expect. For more details regarding most of the youth and service events, see this List of Summer Events. Be sure to check the Shepherd's Link each week for any updates, changes, or more information.


Congratulations to our Confirmands!

We would like to congratulate our 8th graders who were confirmed Sunday, May 17, 2009! Here is a picture of the group with the pastors, taken right after the worship service. More photos to come.


Building Update

We celebrated our first Easter services in the new sanctuary which we dedicated earlier this year.

Over the past year, while our building has been under construction, we have posted regular updates on the website to keep you informed about what has been going on in the building process. An overview page of the updates is available. Please join us for Sunday worship!

Get Your Photo Taken For Our New Church Directory!

Good Shepherd is currently in the process of preparing a new church photo directory. In order to accomplish that, we will have professional photographers on site several days throughout August, September, and October to make sure that everyone has a chance to get their picture taken for the directory. This is a great opportunity to get the whole family together to take some beautiful family portraits! We have a limited number of time slots available in August for those families with college students who are away at school most of the year. Register now, so you can have the entire family together on your picture day. To reserve your time slot, either click here or stop by the directory display table in the lobby on Sunday mornings.
