Fellowship is an important part of the Christian life at Good Shepherd, and to quote more than one parishioner, "We love to eat!"  We all get together informally at Sunday coffee hours following both services and at covered dish suppers.  Especially noteworthy are the following:

 

Supper Clubs provide a relaxed setting for getting to know each other in small groups.  These four to five groups are re-organized each fall, some meeting in homes and some preferring to dine out.  The groups come together each December for a Christmas celebration.  Supper Clubs always welcome newcomers to their tables and are an ideal introduction to our parish family.

 

The Feast of St. Francis is celebrated each year with a good crowd - those of us with our animals to be blessed and those of us without leashes who just enjoy the antics, all of us warmed by the service and usually a potluck afterwards.

 

Other activities that bring us together are the Christmas pageant, Vacation Bible School, the annual Easter egg hunt, and various road trips of discovery.
