YOU can make a difference!
At Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, we believe that part of being a good neighbor is volunteering our time and financially supporting efforts that make a difference in the lives of others.
Be a good neighbor with us during our Weekend of Service from August 14 - 17. Whether you are 5 or 99, we have a place for you to serve alongside us and help us make an impact in our community.
Be a good neighbor with us.
