Good Shepherd - Week of April 20th

Join us this Easter Sunday as we conclude our series, I Am...at the 9am and 10:45am worship gatherings in person, or the livestream option directly from our website at (gspc.org).

Have you ever had big questions about God, faith, or the meaning of life-and wondered if it was okay to ask them? You're not alone. In our new series Explore God, we're creating space for honest conversation around seven of the toughest questions people ask about Christianity. Questions like: Does life have a purpose? Is there a God? Why does God allow pain and suffering? Whether you've been in church your whole life or you're just starting to ask spiritual questions, this series is for you.

Save the date! On Sunday, May 4th, noon-3pm, we are inviting everyone who is not yet an official member of Good Shepherd to come to an interest/orientation meeting for New Covenant Partners. During this time, we'll enjoy good food and conversations together, explore what it means to be a covenant partner, learn about Good Shepherd's core beliefs and priorities, and answer any questions you might have about the Christian faith and/or the Presbyterian Church (ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians). Childcare is available upon request. Simply click here or e-mail Mary Gerard at mary@gspc.org to register.

Sign up with Carol Jaeger (carol@gspc.org) to be a table hostess at our upcoming Spring Luncheon on Saturday, May 3rd. Our theme is "Walking with God" based on Micah 6.8. The speaker will be Rev. Adele Langworthy.

Quilters meet on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month at 10am in the Round Room #4. Their next meeting is on April 28th.

Children's books about Easter are now on the bookstand in the Children's section of the Library. Parents and grandparents pick one up to read to your little ones. And while you're there, pick up a book for yourself. The Library is open any time the Church is open. Please make use of our wonderful collection of inspiring Christian books for all ages.
