Take a look! On the back wall of the Sanctuary, in the Narthex, is a wall covered with pictures and information about our Local and Worldwide Missions. You can see your local mission team and our worldwide missionaries and get to know them a little better through photos and newsletters. You can see our local outreach partners with pictures of the many who have served in the community from Good Shepherd. You can join a local mission team to volunteer.
Ask someone on the Local Mission or Worldwide Mission team if you'd like to know more or be involved in some way. New team members are always welcome!

The next Precept Bible study class is the book of Jude starting May 28th led by Talbot Jaeger. Class is held each Wednesday from 6:35-8pm in Room #4.
