Inter†Gen Ministry Special Events
Relationships are very important while walking on our faith journey! Event Ministry opportunities help kids “do” their faith when they are having fun with other kids and adults. Good Shepherd Event Ministry opportunities provide a balance between events that are social and service-oriented. Parents and Youth are always needed to help with these events. We encourage children to invite friends to every and any event!
To sign your child up for an event please email children@goodshepherdigh.com.
