Children's Program - K5 - 4th Grade
Meets in The Children's Room in Main Building

During the Covid-19 Season, CCE leader Vanessa Stewart is sending lesson plans home each week that children and families can do together, as well sending as a weekly video bedtime story.

Important Note: Adult volunteers from the parish serve as assistant teachers when classes are in session. Everyone who works with our children have completed Safe Children training.

Youth Program - Grades 5th - 12th
Out Back in The Youth Building

During Covid-19 restrictions, middle and high school youth of Good Shepherd, Summerville and St. Stephen's, Charleston meet via Zoom and occasionally in person for field trips in the area. George H. McDaniel serves as leader and organizer for the Good Shepherd Youth Program.

ECGS youth also enjoy a monthly movie night discussion via Zoom.

Good Shepherd Adult Formation Opportunities during Covid-19 Isolation

Continuing in the same vein, Fr. Dow will lead a 2-part series during Lent, discussing the book A Little History of Religion by Richard Holloway. This class will begin March 2.

George H. McDaniel continues the 4-part Adult Formation discussion of the book Seven Theories of Religion by Daniel Pals. Participants meet via Zoom.

***It is highly recommended that you read the book along with the class. New and used copies are available to order through Amazon.

Monday Bible Study on Zoom

The Rev. Michael Szymanowski leads Bible Study on Mondays via Zoom. The Acts study will finish soon, and will be followed by a study of Luke's gospel. Discussion is lively, friendly, and informative. A wonderful spinoff of meeting weekly with fellow parishions and being led by Mike is that we have maintained a sense of community during the time when we have had to stay apart due to Covid-19 restrictions.
