We invite you to visit Church of Good Shepherd.


Welcome to FollowtheShepherd.org...

You have come to the web page of a Christ-centered community of people who want to share the love and care of Jesus, the Good Shepherd.   

We are a church faithful to Biblical teaching and especially interested in meeting the needs of families, young people and children. 

We believe that God is working in our lives and we would invite you to join with us in experiencing a real life-changing relationship with God.

I hope you will spend a few minutes here to learn more about us and then then join us for Sunday worship.  Come, Follow the Shepherd!

 Your Friend in Christ,

The Rev. George Calvert

CHILDRENS' CHURCH
1
We continue to expand our children's ministry with Children's Church.  A number of parents have asked that we have a different program for their children.    
Beginning  Sunday, June 15, 2008, Ted Parsons will lead Childrens' Church (Kindergarten through 4th grade ) during the 11:00 AM Service (11:15 -11:55) It will begin prior to the Gospel reading and will continue for about 40 minutes , or until communion begins.  
Please bring your children every week to study the bible, pray, and learn from the same lessons adults hear in church.  The lessons are based on the Episcopal Church Lectionary. Parents are welcome to attend Childrens church too, if desired.  Adults interested in joining or supporting this ministry are urged to contact the office.
