There is an abundance of fellowship opportunities at Good Shepherd just waiting for you. We have several that naturally involve food as we host many dinners, anything from a celebration of the Fourth of July, to St. Patrick's Day or the Seder Dinner during Holy Week are offered. There is the annual English Tea in February and for the first time ever a Dinner Auction in April that we are very excited about. We have opportunities for New Members and young families to fellowship as well. Other members use the parish for support groups such as T.O.P.S and A.A. You can see all of our upcoming activities listed here as Weekly, Monthly, or Annual Events, as well as Support Groups.

Faithful Family Fellowship

On the third Friday of the month, from 6-7:30pm, our families (with younger children) gather in the parish hall for a time of fellowship. This informal event is geared for parents and their children and serves as a way for them to network and support one another. It begins with a meal, followed by games/crafts and evening prayer.

Men of the parish host a breakfast for all parishioners to attend. Hot pancakes, eggs, sausage and ham, biscuits and plenty of hospitality are served up for you to enjoy. The dates can be observed on our calendar as they are subject to change. There is no charge but we do anticipate donations to offset our expenses.

English Tea February 9th-10th, 2012 Thursday-Friday

Back by popular demand this annual event presents a delightful English luncheon with all the trimmings, that seated over three hundred people at three sittings. Our guests received top-notch care and attention from a full wait staff dressed in black and white attire. It was a great time to dress up and attend this posh example of an English tradition over Tea and goodies. Over seven thousand dollars were raised, all going to the missions of the Church. Interested in helping next year???
