ADULTS
Grow in Faith & Friendship
Good Shepherd’s groups for adults provide opportunities to build caring friendships as we strengthen ourselves in prayer, study and service.
Weekday Sheep Count
Monday-Thursday, join an 8 am Zoom meeting to chat, check in and end with a short meditation and prayer from the Norththumbria Community.
Men’s Group
Active for over 35 years, we welcome men of all ages to join us as a part of our family. We usually meet at 8 am on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, starting with a full breakfast in the Fellowship Hall. Our group is built on three principles; prayer, study, and service. Please join us!
Pray
We pray for each other, the Good Shepherd church family, any special requests, and for the Episcopal Church. Our extensive E-mail system sends out prayer requests and helps us keep in touch.
Study
Our programs alternate between thematic, studies of the readings for the upcoming Sunday Eucharist, other scripture based studies or special programs of interest.
Serve
We also feed the congregation at the Shrove Tuesday Pancake supper and the annual picnic at the beginning of the school year. We also volunteer with Covenant Cupboard and the St. Clare’s Ministry to feed neighbors in need.
Book Groups for Women
Monday Morning Book and Fellowship Group
We rotate between reading fiction and non-fiction books on a wide variety of subjects and titles. Our group usually meets Mondays from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm in the the Chapel. We celebrate finishing a topic or book by going out to brunch. To get connected with the next meeting, contact the church office.
Tuesday Morning Faith Club
We are a group of seekers on a journey exploring our faith who meet Tuesday mornings at 10 am in the Chapel. We read books and watch videos on spirituality, faith, and the bible as well as lighter novels, short stories, or articles during the summer months. Our group is a safe place to explore spirituality. We are open and non-judgmental. We want each person to be welcomed, heard and loved. Be challenged and sometimes frustrated by new perspectives and possibilities that stretch us beyond our comfort levels. Come and go as your schedule and life allows. So if you are a woman who is seeking, wondering, questioning, doubting, or completely comfortable in your faith, join us.
