Longest Night Service
Not everyone is cheery at the holidays. Dealing with the death of a loved one, facing divorce, coping with job loss, living with illness, and other issues make parties and festivities painful. The Tapestry has created a joint service of sacred space for people living through dark times. This service will be reflective, accepting where we really are, and holding out for healing and hope.
Christmas Eve Service
Big moments are here and gone in a flash. By being present with Mary, Joseph, and Jesus on this night, we celebrate His birth so long ago. May we learn to hold close in our hearts what really should be treasured, and let that guide our present living. This service will be fill with a message of love and hope, carols, communion, and candlelight.

Easter Sunday
Please join Good Shepherd for a special COMBINED Easter Service at 10am.
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ will be celebrated with Organ, Brass, Piano, Choir and Congregation during this exciting service of EASTER!
Are You Seeking Jesus? Easter redefines our existence in ways we can barely comprehend. Invite your family members, co-workers, neighbors, and strangers to hear the Gospel Story of Christ's gift to us - His LOVE!
Following service, we will have an egg hunt for the kiddos with over 600 eggs to find…and 4 special Golden Eggs!!! We are also bringing back the hysterical and exciting candy shower! The adventure begins in the fellowship hall.
Childcare is available for children aged 0-2. Sunday School for children aged 3- grade 5. Youth will worship with their family.
Good Friday Service
At GSC, we acknowledge both the events of the Upper Room and the Garden of Gethsemane (Maundy Thursday) and the day and the sight of Christ's crucifixion (Good Friday) during one evening service. Our Sanctuary Choir will lead congregational songs and sing choral songs that will absolutely bring these two events to life. Without Christ's Upper Room dinner with His disciples, where He shares His destiny; and His grisly death on a wooden cross upon Calvary's hill, there would be no celebration of Easter.
Childcare available for kids age 0-3. Sprackets (activity packets) available for children.

"A Light Still Shines"
Good Shepherd Church and Taylor Chapel with choirs and orchestra are proud to bring you the 2023 Christmas Musical “A Light Still Shines”. As we celebrate the antiquity of the Christmas story, we must be mindful of the significance the account of the coming of Christ has on our lives today. The Light that shone from Bethlehem, from Galilee to Jerusalem, from a rugged cross to the Father's throne; that Light still shines in the darkest night it will lead us home.
Christmas Tea and Cookie Exchange
Kick off the Advent and Christmas season with the annual Christmas Tea and Cookie Exchange!
The focus this year is “Sharing the Nativity”. We ask that you bring one piece of your personal nativity scene and share why it holds significance to you.
Make sure to bring your sweet tooth as we drink tea and eat the sugary delights of the season. Participation in the cookie exchange is not required to attend, but is a lot of fun. If you’d like to share your goodies, please bring one to two dozen with you.
