Good Shepherd - Week of August 2nd, 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).

Help create a clean, welcoming, and nurturing environment for youth in crisis on this day of service, September 12th from 9am to noon, ensuring their space remains safe, comfortable, and well cared for. As a safe, home-like shelter for youth experiencing instability, their shelter requires ongoing attention to maintain the warm, supportive atmosphere they deserve. Beyond the practical impact, this project sends a powerful message to the young people they serve: their community cares about them! Roll up your sleeves and help us give Casa Youth Shelter a Fall Refresh. Serve Los Al will kick off with an assembly at 8:30am at Oak Middle School Outdoor Amphitheatre, 10821 Oak St., Los Alamitos and disperse from there.
