Children and families

To see our weekly opportunities for children’s formation, visit the Children’s Formation page.

Whatever your family looks like, you are welcome here. Each month, our families with children gather for a social or service event, usually on Sunday afternoons. You do not need to be a member of Good Shepherd to attend; all are welcome!

upcoming family events

Monday, Aug. 7-Friday, Aug. 11, 2023, 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m.: Children’s Summer Camp
Our annual summer camp is open to all children ages 3-12 (must be potty-trained). Each day of camp consists of a Bible story, music, arts & crafts, games and recreation! Register here.

Saturday, June 1, 2024, 9 a.m.-3:00 p.m.: Family Mindfulness Day Retreat
Join our parish family and friends for six hours of fun (and a chance for all to cultivate mindful attention, the very essence of prayer). Through mindful movement, non-competitive games, arts and crafts projects, read-aloud stories, and sing-along songs, we’ll build a community of the present moment. Together, we’ll identify new (and tried and true) ways of supporting and caring for ourselves, each other, and our children. So, round everyone up and come on out. We’ll transform “just come as you are” into “become just as you are,” through play, prayer, and praise. Register here.
