STUDY
Study at Good Shepherd is designed to explore the Christian faith. Christian Education classes range from small group Bible study to offerings based on the seasons of the church year. Classes are interactive and may include film clips, music, food, and laughter. Questions and doubts are welcomed and encouraged because Jesus showed us how these can help us deepen our faith in God.
Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. --Book of Common Prayer, pg 236
