LOTS - Lord of the Streets
Lord of the Streets is a church community that Restores and Rebuilds lives through ministries and relationships with people facing homelessness.
RESTORE: We work and pray to help restore every person to God's design: a right relationship with God, with self, with family and those we have offended, with the Church, and society.
REBUILD: We help each person to rebuild a life marked by 1) their belief in their inherent dignity, and 2) by habits of health of body and mind and spirit, and 3) productivity.
Good Shepherd Supports LOTS through donations of money and specific items requested.

Visiting Ill and Shut-in Members
There are two ways to serve ill and shut-in members of our church community. Flower Ministry members make simple flower arrangements from the flowers used in Sunday services and simply drop them off. Lay Eucharistic Visitors are trained to take the Eucharistic elements to members who can’t make it to church.
Look for the Flower Guild and Lay Eucharistic Visitors on the Liturgical Ministries page to find out more.
