A color brochure that provides an overview and includes photographs is available in the information kiosk and also is mailed to first-time visitors with a letter from our pastor. These brochures are available in the information kiosk, and they are delivered to first-time visitors in a special folder. New Member Classs W e offer a series of Newcomers Classes quarterly. The classes offer a great opportunity to meet people and provide an overview of Methodist history, theology and organizational systems as well as the opportunity to experience first hand what makes the Church of the Good Shepherd a unique community of faith. Each session is a mixture of information presentation, group dialogue and fellowship.
Child care is provided upon request.
If you're interested, be on the lookout for a registration form in a church bulletin a few weeks before the classes begin or call the church office at 703 281-3987. The sponsor is someone who is available to make sure the new members get involved in the church and its small groups and who keeps in touch to answer questions. Also invited are the sponsors of those new members and the mentors of the new members who joined as confirmands. This popular fellowship event allows our newer members to expand their circle of friendships. New members will want to reserve Sunday, June 3 for a special early-evening social event.
