At Good Shepherd we believe that getting to know each other and having fun together helps build a deep sense of community.
If you have ideas for bringing adults together for life-long learning or social events, please email them to adultministry@goodshepherdigh.com
Learning Opportunities
At Good Shepherd, we think developing faith is a life-long journey. Therefore, we offer Bible Studies and other Educational Experiences throughout the week for children, youth and adults. These educational opportunities are designed to challenge, stretch and deepen faith, as it is lived out in our homes, workplaces and world.
Bible Study
We are currently moving through Matthew’s gospel until Advent begins when we will turn to Mark’s gospel in January. Call or email the church office to sign up for one of these ways to join in the discussion.
Tuesdays at 6:00pm via Zoom.
Thursdays at 9:30am in person & via Zoom
Via email. The text, study questions and a brief video introduction to the text is emailed each week.
Faith Study
Wednesdays at 5:30pm
In this faith sharing class titled By Heart we will dive into some deeper issues with Luther’s Catechisms. We’ll tackle stuff you learned by heart when you were in confirmation class, maybe even some stuff you forgot since you were a teen. Even if you have never once cracked the spine of Luther’s Catechism, this class will be fun, engaging and refreshing for all! The goal is to share our faith and to talk about the things that matter to our hearts.
Devotion & Enrichment
YogaDevotion: Classes begin in the breath, centering ourselves in the Presence of God, setting aside all that distracts us from the relationship God intends for us. The devotional time at the beginning of class opens with Scripture that speaks to a practice of faith during the breath work. The body of the class is a combination of standing, balance and floor poses. Music and silence are used to intentionally listen for God’s voice. The classes close with restorative yoga, a practice of calm alertness that allows reflection and thanksgiving for God’s presence in our lives.
Events
It is our goal to create opportunities for Adults of all ages to learn and grow in their faith through learning opportunities and social events.
