I WONDER who the Good Shepherd really is. . . .
I WONDER if you have ever come close to the Good Shepherd. . . .
I WONDER what the Good Shepherd is calling you to in our community, in the world. . . .
Come wonder with us as we kick off Good Shepherd & the World and Godly Play on Sunday, Sept. 13 at 9:45 am! Our adults will get a rare peek into Godly Play, the "Montessori" based curriculum that we use in Christian formation for our young people. Godly Play sessions are modeled after our worship structure, including a story and response time (think Liturgy of the Word) and a feast (think Liturgy of the Eucharist). On the 13th, children, youth and adults will join together to explore a scripture story foundational to our parish in Godly Play style. Then we will all enjoy a special feast of ice cream sundaes. Don't miss it!

Having trouble with Creeds? Exploring the Nicene creed and some alternatives.
Join Fr. Rick as we launch into our year of adult education with the creed. Many people find the language a stumbling block. They either wonder what it means or wonder if they are able to doubt and still be Christians. Where do the creeds come from? Why are they part of worship? And do they matter in today's world? There have been more elaborate and simpler forms of the creeds throughout history. Bring your doubts and your questions and lets explore belief, community and commitment together.
