Have you ever had big questions about God, faith, or the meaning of life - and wondered if it was okay to ask them? You're not alone. In our new series, Explore God, we're creating space for honest conversation around seven of the toughest questions people ask about Christianity. Questions like: Does life have a purpose? Is there a God? Why does God allow pain and suffering? Whether you've been in church your whole life or you're just starting to ask spiritual questions, this series is for you.

Save the date! On Sunday, May 4th, noon-3pm, we are inviting everyone who is not yet an official member of Good Shepherd to come to an interest/orientation meeting for New Covenant Partners. During this time, we'll enjoy good food and conversations together, explore what it means to be a covenant partner, learn about Good Shepherd's core beliefs and priorities, and answer any questions you might have about the Christian faith and/or the Presbyterian Church (ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians). Childcare is available upon request. Simply click here or e-mail Mary Gerard at mary@gspc.org to register.
