Life Long Learning

Life Long Learning

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates.

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

At Good Shepherd, we take these words of Moses seriously. We provide many opportunities for God’s people to hear God’s words, talk about them and impress them upon their hearts.   To learn more about these or other educational opportunities contact the teacher/facilitator or the church office.
