Helpful Information about Youth Programming at Good Shepherd: Regular Sunday programming happens during the school year on Sundays at 10:45 am starting in the Fellowship Hall.
- Sunday Youth Programming happens after Sunday worship under the leadership of 1 teacher, and 1 adult helper per classroom.
- Students, Sunday school teachers/volunteers, are dismissed for Sunday School at 10:30am even if the worship service has not yet concluded. This provides students an opportunity to socialize and get a treat before Sunday School starts. By 10:45, students (accompanied by a parent for children younger than 6th grade) proceed to designated classrooms.
- A check-in and check-out sheet are in each classroom. Parents need to sign in/out their children younger than 6th grade.
