Good Shepherd - Week of July 19th, 2026

This summer, we are continuing our 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 stories 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).

My help comes from the Lord,
