As we navigate these times,
Susan Bailey (Fr. Gary’s wife) and I are working on a video ministry at Good Shepherd. Our next project is something for Youth Sunday (Nov. 29) and a Christmas Pageant is in the works, so please let me know if your child/children are interested in being a part of this. Both will air during the Zoom church service. What I need from parents is the names of kids who are interested in participating. Both of these opportunities and future ones will also stream on the Good Shepherd website, so parents need to be aware of this, for permission reasons.
Family Advent boxes/bags are also in the planning stages, so more details will follow.
I am working on streaming a Veggie Tales movie to provide a break for anyone interested, without having to leave home. Please let me know what day and time works best for each of you and I will compile the answers and come up with a time and day of the week that accommodates the most families.
Sunday School for Grades 3 and up has returned
Sunday School for Grades 3 and up is meeting every Sunday, from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Elaine Oxenbury hosts this Zoom meeting for kids from Grades 3 and up…middle school kids are welcome to join us. We will begin by studying a workbook on how to deal with the emotional fallout of COVID life changes, and tie that to Biblical stories and writings. After that, we’ll look at Advent topics, and then see where the spirit leads us! We are looking for this to be a gathering place for upper elementary/early middle school kids to be able to touch base and support one another, as well as explore the Bible in reference to our lives.
Here's the link for the Zoom meeting:

Every Sunday afternoon at 3:00, I host a Sunday school time. I start with a science/object lesson, followed by a Godly Play presentation and ending with a craft.

I miss seeing families in person, but this is the next best thing right now as we navigate COVID-Land.
