Advent and Christmas at The Good Shepherd

Christmas – the Festival of the Nativity – is when Christians celebrate with joy and wonder that God entered our human story. Jesus came to us as a child in a stable, and Jesus will come to us again when he makes all things new!

Deck the Halls

Stick around following worship on Sunday, December 21, as we deck the halls for Christmas! We’ll put up all the decorations that make the holiday so beautiful. We’re also planning a bit of food, so please let us know if you’re thinking of joining us.
