G.I.F.T. Meeting Success
 
The exploratory meeting for the G.I.F.T. (Growing in Faith Together) program held on Wednesday evening drew an unexpectedly large response, and we shared many great dreams and visions for providing spiritual and educational resources to the children and youth in our Good Shepherd Community. In all, the meeting was evidence of both the interest and the importance of such a venture.

We will hold an additional meeting on Thursday, 9/19 aimed at developing programs and activities so that in October we can roll them out.  We look forward to fulfilling our promise and vision as a church to be the Good News for our congregation and community.

Good Shepherd Play Co-Op Fall Registration

Are you looking for a parent-and-child program that will help bridge the gap to preschool? Good Shepherd Play Co-Op may be for you! We differ from the average playgroup, because we include structured, play-based learning units in addition to creative free play time.

We are happy to announce that our third year of play Co-Op will begin in September! Fabiola Mendieta will be leading the program as our play Co-Op coordinator. We welcome children beginning at age 2, although younger siblings are welcome to tag along.
