Good Shepherd - Week of June 14th, 2026

This summer, we are continuing a new sermon series on the parables of Jesus. These short stories are simple enough to remember, but deep enough to unsettle us, challenge us, and reshape the way we see God, ourselves, and the world around us. Together, we'll listen closely to the stores Jesus told and ask what it means to receive his kingdom with open ears, honest hearts, and lives ready to respond. Join us at the 9am and 10:45am worship gatherings in person, or the livestream option directly from our website at (gspc.org).

I lift up my eyes to the mountains-
    where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.

Prayer Ministry does just what the title says: We pray FOR YOU and your request! These requests get to us through a number of ways. Either you can fill out the tear off section from the printed Sunday bulletin and drop it in the offering plate, send us an email through prayer@gspc.org, or by clicking the link found in the weekly bulletin which comes to your email. Your request is then sent to a prayer team who will confidentially pray over this request daily for the next 30 days. We are always happy to receive new volunteers to be part of our growing team. This ministry requires a very small investment of your time, but the dividends are HUGE for the recipient. If you are interested in being part of this ministry, please email Heidi Butcher at Heidinp58@gmail.com. And a heartfelt thank you to all those who faithfully serve on our prayer teams, it is appreciated by so many including myself!
