Foyer Dinner Groups
Get to know your Good Shepherd friends on a deeper level - consider signing up for Fall Foyer Groups!
Groups of eight are organized to dine together for four meals over four months, with the group members taking turns hosting. (Many times the host provides an entrée and the other group members bring side dishes, but there are no fast rules.) This year for the first time we are also adding a “dining out” option, for three couples to dine out three times at different restaurants. Clipboard sign-ups will be available at church this Sunday at both services - look for Cornelia Castleman or Kathy Davy at 8:00, or Jerry Castleman at 10:30 to sign up! Email Cornelia castlegirl1@gmail.com for more information! |
What are Foyer Groups?
The Foyer movement began in England after World War II with the congregation of Coventry Cathedral, who were looking for ways "to bridge the divisions which subtly separate us one from another.” In time, Foyer Groups began springing up in parishes all over Britain and in America. Today, many Episcopal churches throughout the United States have foyer groups that promote fellowship among members and encourage the informal exchange of ideas, experiences and common problems within friendly surroundings and in a Christian context. .Get to know your Good Shepherd friends on a deeper level - consider signing up for Fall Foyer Groups!

Greeters and Newcomer Ministries
|
The people of Good Shepherd welcome you! We are grateful you have come to worship with us. Please ask an usher for a newcomer packet on your way out of worship. If you are new to our community, or already settled and looking for a church home, we invite you to take time to get to know us and let us know you as well. As a relatively new mission congregation, we focus on worship, education, and outreach. We also enjoy an active, fun-filled parish life with dinners, picnics, barbeque suppers, and receptions from time to time. We invite those coming to Good Shepherd from other denominations and anyone who would like to learn more about ministry and spiritual life at Good Shepherd to contact us via email. You will receive a prompt response.
