Pastor Scott presents this second in a 3-part Christian Ed series on living out our Vision Statement. No talent or gift is too small to share with others.

Pastor Scott presents this third part of our Christian Ed series on living out our Vision Statement. Do you have a passion to encourage formation of faith and building relationships?

Join us in the Good Shepherd kitchen for “Jelly Making for Beginners”, as we bring back the culinary art of homemade jelly making. We’ll use Good Shepherd’s own elderberry bushes to demonstrate the process of making and canning jelly. Class size is limited to 8 and a fee of $10 will cover the cost of the jars and all the ingredients needed. Yes, you will have jelly to take home with you! NOTE: Since our Good Shepherd kitchen is a commercial kitchen, we also ask each participant to bring their own hat, hair covering or bandana to wear the day of the class.
