As our good friend and colleague in ministry Hannah Bardin likes to say, young people aren’t just the future of the Church. They are the Church *right now.* ♰

Our Youth Sunday celebration of both high school graduates and the talent of all of our young people was a joy-filled example, showing the Holy Spirit moving through our next generation.

We enjoyed all-youth-led services—from our acolytes, readers, ushers, and Cherub Choir, to our preacher Stella Krueger and closing voluntary pianist Hazel Taylor. We are dazzled, we are blessed, and we are so lucky to have such an exceptional group of young people at Good Shepherd, and the ministries and volunteers to support them.

Congrats to our youth, and THANK YOU! ❤️🐑
