YOUTH PROGRAM VISIONING TOWN HALL MEETING, SUNDAY, MARCH 24th at 11:45am in Room 207.

Do you have ideas, hopes, or dreams for our youth program going forward? We want your input!

As most of you know, Heather Dumais is leaving at the end of this school year. With such a key staff member leaving AND a budget crunch for 2024, Good Shepherd is called to take a step back and discern how best to form and engage our youth including funding and staffing levels. As with many other aspects of our life together, the budget realities are moving us to call for more lay participation and prayerful stewardship of available resources. We believe that this is an opportunity to grow our faith muscles and knit our community together. 

We are inviting youth, their parents, past and current volunteers engaged with youth, and any other adults who care about the future of this important ministry to give their input regarding the broad vision and specific activities for our youth program for the 2024-2025 academic year and beyond. Having broad-based input will help current leadership focus our energy and resources to support a shared vision, purpose, and goals for youth formation.

Dress in green! A prize will be given for the best themed outfit. We enjoy green food and fill plastic eggs for the children’s Easter egg hunt.

The annual parish meeting will take place immediately after the 10:15 service on Sunday, February 4th. Please plan on attending to hear about our mission, ministry, and finances in 2023 and look ahead to 2024.

The Road Runners will visit Houston’s Holocaust Museum on January 25th and have lunch at the Empire Cafe. Cost for transportation and museum ticket is $16.00. Please sign up in the hallway by January 22nd, and turn in your check to the office.

Please join us for our Christmas Eve Service featuring candlelight, choir and Christmas carols. All are welcome, and all the baptized, regardless of denomination, are welcome to receive communion in the Episcopal Church.

Our 4pm Service on Christmas Eve will feature music, candlelight, and a special message geared toward children. All baptized people, regardless of denomination, are welcome to receive communion in the Episcopal Church. Please join us!

Our annual Live Nativity performance for Friday night was canceled due to rain. We will have two performances on Saturday, one at 7:00 and one at 7:30 on the grounds outside the church. If you signed your child up as an actor for Friday, Heather will be contacting you to confirm whether you want to participate on Saturday.

Thanks for your understanding!
