BIBLE STUDY AT GOOD SHEPHERD - You are invited to join a journey of faith and discovery as we continue an on-going series of Bible study courses. Using materials produced for the widely acclaimed Little Rock Scripture Study series, we will “break-open” sacred texts and learn how profoundly they touch our individual and community lives. To facilitate group sharing, the number of participants will be limited to twelve. Pre-registration is necessary, and the courses are usually fully booked. The participant fee is $25.00, and includes the cost of a personal copy of the scripture commentary and a study guide. For more information regarding the courses, contact Ron McRae

Happy Father’s Day
A father is neither an anchor to hold us back, Nor a sail to take us there, But a guiding light whose love shows us the way
