Christian Formation Opportunities

Children and Youth


Children's Christian Formation The main component of our Christian education for children is Godly Play, a curriculum in which children ages 3-11 are encouraged to deepen their relationship with God, God's people and their faith community through hearing and reflecting upon the stories of God and our traditions. Sessions are offered each Sunday immediately following the 10am service. Two or three storytellers and shepherds (assistants) are needed for each level.  Click here to learn more about Godly Play.

 

Youth When children are baptised in our church we promise to do all in our power to support them in their lives as Christians. Christian formation for youth (6th – 12th grade) at Good Shepherd is centered around experiences in worship, education and service. Click here for more information about our Youth programs.

Adults


Christian Formation Classes This class offers perspectives on living one's faith in these days and times, featuring speakers and series on various topics. Meets each week in Talbird Hall immediately following the 10am service.

 

The Shepherd's Study This adult Bible study meets every Sunday at 9am in the Library.

Centering Prayer The Wednesday afternoon Centering Prayer Support Group practices the teachings of Fr. Thomas Keating. They set aside 20 minutes each week at 4:30pm for silent prayer, then read or view a video, followed by brief discussion. The lay led Sunday morning group meets in the Library at 9am for the same practice. Both groups are open to all interested.

Natural Spirituality Group Several Enneagram, Dream and Natural Spirituality groups meet regularly throughout the year. This year the Natural Spirituality Group will host 'Hunger for the Holy', a 2-day workshop on Cultivating a Religious Attitude from a Jungian Perspective. Lay Leader: Katie Taff
