On Tuesday, July 1, help provide food to local schools, as well as regional relief by packing nutritional meals at Lifeline. The Warehouse, located off Nicholasville Rd., has everything you need to participate. Just show up wearing comfortable shoes and clothes, and an eagerness to serve. Good Shepherd will provide a light supper, made from the meals we are packing, and then Lifeline staff will give directions for the packing. Open to all, ages 8 and up. There is no cost to participate but donations to offset the cost of packing are welcome!

Good Shepherd will host a pop up store of ceramics from Matchstick Goods on Sunday, May 4th.  This outreach of Common Good blends artistry with social impact, empowering North Lexington's youth through meaningful employment and mentorship. Beautiful dinnerware, home items, jewelry and other unique designs will be available in the loggia after the 8am and 10am services on Sunday, May 4th.
