Good Shepherd and the World
Before he first came to Good Shepherd, Fr. Charles was told by more than one person that, "Good Shepherd doesn't do adult Sunday School."
Well, we do now — and, for many of us, it's an important part of our church lives and the way we think about our faith. We've heard from a broad range of fascinating people, from every part of our community. We've gained insights into other faiths and how our own faith has evolved. We've even looked within ourselves to deal with troublesome issues like anger and pain.
Good Shepherd and the World gives us the opportunity to explore our faith, our community and ourselves. And there's coffee.
