| Children's Ministries
Sunday school at Good Shepherd starts at age two with a parent/child class. The children learn to participate in a class with music, stories, crafts and a snack and the parents form new friendships.
Children ages three through kindergarten meet with children their own age. Their class  starts with group music, and they move to the classrooms for stories, crafts, and a snack.
Children in grades 1 to 6 are involved in rotation model Sunday school called Shepherd's Kingdom. The children spend several weeks with the same Bible story or faith piece (Lord's Prayer, Apostles Creed). They explore these lessons through art, drama, video, storytelling, and games. The entire education hour is spent in one workshop.
The education hour begins at 9:45 a.m.
Contact Connie Delzer, director of children's ministries, for more information.

Wednesday Night Live Family Ministry (WNL) Wednesdays following dinner at 6:35 PM in Fellowship Hall.
"What is WNL?" you might ask. It is a time for parents and their children to gather together, sing songs, hear a Bible story, participate in an activity, and grow in Christian faith. Our focus for the year will center on the New Testament. Specifically, we will focus on stories of people we don't often hear about or teach about. We end out time together by 7:15 PM with prayer and by giving each other a blessing. Contact Pr. Jay Rudi or Director of Children's ministries Connie Delzer for more information.
