SUMMER FUEL AND IGNITE – THURSDAYS, 7-8:30PM
Summer ministry begins on June 13! Bring your friends for some summer fun every other Thursday night. We will be meeting June 13, June 27, July 11, July 25, and August 8 at Good Shepherd.
ETERNAL IMPACT – JUNE 3-7
Eternal Impact is a summer camp experience at Good Shepherd for our middle schoolers! Rising 6th – 8th graders (school year 2024-2025) come together in the evenings to worship, eat and enjoy fellowship, learn and grow in their faith, and have FUN! Throughout the week we’ll learn why God created us and how to respond to His love for us.
As part of Eternal Impact, each student will choose 2 activity “treks”; fun activities they will participate in each night with their friends! Monday through Thursday, evenings start at 6 pm with dinner followed by treks, we then gather back together for worship, teaching, and small groups. The evening finishes each night at 9pm. Eternal Impact is a fun – filled time where middle school kids learn more about Jesus in their every day life alongside their peers, you don’t want to miss it!! Invite your friends!
Friday (6/7) we will serve together in a Day of Serving in our community. Students will meet at Good Shepherd at 9 am and head into the community to volunteer together. We will return to Good Shepherd around 3 pm for a wrap up event! Day of Serving is included in the Eternal Impact registration and cost – but please confirm participation in this registration. No discounts will be offered for those who cannot attend Day of Serving.
Register by 5/13 to guarantee a t-shirt – registrations are allowed until the event but may not include a t-shirt!
High schoolers, college students, and adults can serve! Click here for the leader registration.
