Join us for our new Sermon Series When Jesus Speaks
When Jesus Speaks: Hearing & Recognizing The VOICe of Jesus I don’t know about you but right now through all social media streams, news on the tv, and in a world that is changing not only day by day but sometimes hour by hour, I am finding it hard to focus on Jesus’ voice among so many voices all clamoring for my attention. It was then I started looking at what was happening to the disciples after Easter as they…
Congregational Care Update
Surround one another with love and support My hope is to send a different kind of post each day focusing on a different part of our life together as a community of faith. Today’s post is focused on our care of each other. Many of us are starting to feel anxiety caused by the separation of not meeting together it is even affecting introverts like me 🙂 When we start to feel anxious, let’s follow Paul’s advice to stop and…

Turn your Christmas upside down this year and do the season differently…
LET US CONSPIRE TOGETHER TO NOT ONLY SPEND LESS BUT GIVE MORE Although it was a cold rain misty morning, our hearts were warm and full as we gave out 153 families ( probably close to 600-800 people) and our Youth and Kitchen Crew fed 153 people. And thanks to all our servant volunteers in every area of the church from our hospitality crew to our encouraging escorts who really rocked it this time to our unloaders, table people and…
Turn your Christmas upside down this year and do the season differently…Join the Conspiracy…First Worship Fully
I am sorry this is coming a little later. I appreciate all the caring and compassion through hugs, calls, texts, messages, and emails shown to me during one of the hardest weeks of my life. It is hard to believe that a week ago as I was writing this my dad was recovering and we thought he would make it. Don’t take any moments for granted you may not have them. In case you didn’t see his full obituary you can view…
New Sermon Series: The Advent Conspiracy
We’re excited to announce that our new 5 part Christmas series starts December 1st, The Advent Conspiracy.

For many of us, we were drowning in a sea of financial debt and endless lists of gifts to buy. We struggled to find the connection between our Christmas to-do lists and the…
Tomorrow is Gratefulness Sunday…What does it mean to be grateful? Are we thankful when we are grateful? don’t forget to bring your covenant cards!
It is hard to believe it has almost been a week since we all gathered last Sunday night, revealed our Shepherd(s) Servant of the Year and celebrated our volunteer servants at our Charge Conference. Thanks to everyone who serves in some way at Good Shepherd. And thanks for all your prayers this week for my dad. I have pretty much been present with him every day since his surgery and before so I don’t have much else to say but I am exhausted…
