Family Night on Wednesdays

Wednesday, Family Night at Good Shepherd, is a joyous time of celebrating God’s goodness with a delicious meal, great fellowship, super songs, and a few surprises. This year Family Night is expanding to offer more opportunities for spiritual growth and fellowship. Most of the past favorites continue – some at a new time – and several new offerings join the Wednesday evening “buffet” of ministries. Here’s the new schedule with descriptions below.

People who have not signed up to eat are welcome to go through the line at 6:00 PM if food remains.

Music

A beginning choir for children age 4-Kindergarten called His Kids meets each Wednesday at 6:30-8:00 PM. Led by Bobbie Mustapha, this group explores the singing voice and beginning music skills. They also have a time to play and share a snack.

The Sanctuary Choir is for singers of all ages and rehearses each Wednesday 6:30-8:00 PM. The music represents a wide variety of styles and the fellowship is strong. Make a place in your life for singing; you won’t regret it.

Children's Ministry
F.R.O.G Fellowship takes place on Wednesdays from 6:30 – 8:00 PM.

F.R.O.G. Fellowship is a fellowship group for children Kindergarten through grade 5. Using a large group/small group format, we will gather together for worship, music, games and activities then break into smaller age-level groups for discussion and bible study. F.R.O.G. Fellowship is a great way for children to grow in their Christian Discipleship while building friendships with others and relationships with their leaders. Join us for F.R.O.G. Fellowship where we will learn to Fully Rely On God together.

No registration is required for F.R.O.G. Fellowship, however, we will want a permission slip with emergency contacts for those coming the first time.

Student Ministry
Pastor’s Teaching series will take place each Wednesday from 6:30 – 8:00. Pastor Duke will use scripture and specific topics of interest. Each study or topic will provide opportunity for new participants and inviting other to join the group. Participate in just the ones that interest you or in all to grow in your spiritual journey.

Mom’s Heart is a great fellowship and support group for those with and without children. Join us for lively discussion and fellowship from 6:30 – 8:00 each and Wednesday during Family Night.

Adult Ministry
Several opportunities exist on Family Night for adults to grow as disciples of Jesus;  Adult Bible Study with Roger Summers, Disciple 1 with Pastor Craig or Pastor Phil and Mom’s Heart. 

Child Care
Infants -3 year olds are cared for by a trained staff in a loving environment from 6:30-8:00 PM so that parents may enjoy an evening of spiritual growth.
