Monthly EYC events, Sunday School, Confirmation classes and an annual mission trip form our youth in the Christian life and faith. Serving as acolytes and VBS leaders, youth find themselves an integral and important part of the Good Shepherd Community.
EYC Dates
EYC-Sunday, October 27th is the next EYC meeting which will be a Halloween Party with Fun, Food, Games and a costume contest.
Youth Group has been going great and participation has been high. There are typically four adult volunteers and me (Corky) with an average of 30 kids participating. Please join us.
Join us in NOVEMBER for an unforgettable youth experience. We are diving into fun activities, inspiring discussions, and a chance to connect with friends. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to service others and grow together in faith.
November 10th (Sunday) We will be having a Friendsgiving (potluck) dinner. We will prepare seafarer boxes for the Holidays. A Seafarer is someone who works on a ship or boat and spends a significant amount of time at sea.
November 27th (Wednesday) We will be visiting Lord of the Streets. There will be an 11am service with Bishop Doyle. This is a ministry organization focused on helping homeless individuals and those in need. They often provide services like meals, shelter, clothing and support programs to assist people in getting back on their feet. The Youth and Church members will all be attending to volunteer and service those in need.
WE ARE ASKING FOR DONATIONS for Seafarers packages:
Shoeboxes, toiletries like toothpaste, brush, comb, shampoo, conditioner, q-tips, razors, soap, books, magazines, non perishable snack, WARM clothing Socks, hats, and gloves. In the past we have included items from the knit crochet club which are always a FAVORITE !!
Thank you ahead of time for all your support. I am so proud of our YOUTH group where I feel the kids are taking ownership of their tasks and projects.
Middle School Class
Sunday School is offered from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. during the school year for our Middle School Students. Class is held in Room 211. We use the Connect Curriculum published by Sparkhouse Digital to guide age-appropriate discussions. All children's classes are taught by instructors who have taken Safeguarding God's Children.
Confirmation
Confirmation Class began in September and is ongoing until Spring 2025 in Room 216/217.
Youth Mission Trip
Every year the youth go on a mission trip that involves service and reflection. Youth report that their spiritual journey deepens - or even seems to truly begin - on these trips.
Our trip this year is in Puerto Rico in 2024 from June 1- June 6. Contact Corky Foltz for more information cfoltz@goodshepherdkingwood.org.
