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.
What’s Happening in EYC
February Care Packages for College Students
Please email me your college students name and addresses so EYC can gather up items to send out care packages deadline February 22nd. We are also asking for donations for the care packages, candy, individually packed goldfish, cheezits, peanut butter crackers, ramen, hand written notes, gum, ChapStick, any cute item that will fit in a shoe box.
January 25th EYC meets 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. for Dinner, lesson and discussion of all activities for the year.
It's time to sign up for Camp Allen if you have not done so yet. Many of the Good Shepherd youth will be attending the camp. A popular week is week 6, but any week you decide on will be great. I'll attend experience Faith, Friends and Fun. Camp Allen offers a week of swimming, hiking, rope courses, worship, crafts, and unforgettable memories.
The Bishop will be coming March 1st for all that have prepared to be confirmed or wish to be received.
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 wil begin in September and is ongoing until Spring 2026 in Room 216/217. Confirmation will be Sunday March 1, 2026 at the 10:15 a.m. service with Bishop Fisher.
Youth Mission Trip
Most years we have a youth mission trip. We have been to Oklahoma, Alaska, and Puerto Rico in the past. This year we are going to stay closer to home and minister through our diocesan summer camp, Camp Allen!
Those 16 and older can volunteer at the camp and receive free room and board for the week. Corky and other have signed up for the week of July 20th to 26th.
We have had a great response to our Camp Allen trip so far, and we are hopeful more children age 8-16 will sign up for camp, as well as more sixteen and over volunteers joining us to volunteer. Call, email or text Corky with any questions please.
Camper scholarships are available. When you sign up for Camp Allen, indicate that you would like a scholarship. You will need to pay the deposit amount, and let the church know that you need a scholarship. The church will pay approximately 1/3 of the camp tuition amount for the week indicated above for active members of Good Shepherd.
