Brotherhood of St. Andrew The Brotherhood of Saint Andrew is an international, evangelical outreach ministry of men within the Anglican Communion. The Brotherhood believes that when men come together with other men to share in discussions of their Christian faith and study the Holy Bible, they become more active in and supportive of the parish ministry in that community.

Caring Hands The goal of Caring Hands Ministry is to use the fruits of our hobbies to provide comfort to those in need. We began by knitting or crocheting prayer shawls for anyone facing a serious illness or life crisis and for those grieving for a loved one. Prayer shawls are made with prayer for the person receiving them and have been described as feeling like an embrace of God. More . . .
Coffee Hour Hosts Coffee Hour is a weekly opportunity for fellowship providing time for parishioners to interact socially while enjoying coffee, tea, and refreshments, and to get to know each other beyond the limits of weekly worship. Much of the networking and the work of parishioners is accomplished while socializing at coffee hour. More . . . .

Greeters Our warm welcome, our hospitality at Good Shepherd is possibly our greatest strength. It is God’s love, it is the Spirit among us, it is what Jesus teaches us. It is felt the first time and every time thereafter that we walk through our doors. We all know and feel this, but sometimes it helps to be intentionally thoughtful about it, keep it at the top of our minds. This is what the Good Shepherd Greeters do. More on Greeters . . . .
Lending Library The Lending Library has grown from being housed on a few tables to having six bookshelves groaning with the weight of the generously donate books. More . . . .
