Good Shepherd offers a variety of educational opportunities for children. A description of our Sunday School is below as well as a listing of special opportunities for children during 2019.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN
in spring 2019
Sunday School
We welcome all children to join with us for community and faith formation within our Sunday School program. Parents or caregivers do not need to be members of Good Shepherd for their children to attend.
We meet most Sundays from September through May from 10:45 am-11:30 am. Students gather in the Fellowship Hall for snacks and conversation in the 10-15 minutes between church and Sunday School. Then, a chime rings to alert students that Sunday School is about to start. The 4-year old-4th grade class will meet in the Sunday School room by the small kitchen. The Youth Forum (Middle School and up) will meet in the Annex. Parents and caregivers are welcome to come to Sunday School with their children, but are not required to do so. Friends are always welcome!
Child and Youth Abuse Prevention Program: At the Annual Meeting of the Congregation on February 4, 2018, a Child and Youth Abuse Prevention Program was formally adopted by the Good Shepherd congregation. The program was recommended by the ELCA as well as Church Mutual, the Good Shepherd insurance company, and ratified by the Congregation Council. Legal counsel was also consulted.
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Good Shepherd is fully accessible to all.
