This weekend at Good Shepherd, we’re continuing our Clean Slate series, focusing on fresh starts and practical ways to take your next step. It’s a great message about forming new habits and letting go of what’s weighing you down to make room for what matters most. If you’ve been finding these messages helpful, why not invite a friend or bring someone along? There’s always room for one more, and you never know who might need a fresh start too.


Happening Now: This is a great chance to make 2026 the year you find your people! You could be searching for a fresh start, new habits, or maybe just a few real friendships. Small Groups are still forming and a great opportunity to do just that. Visit the link below to find a small group that fits your schedule.

Meet a Serve Team member, Shanice Gipson:
“Hi, I’m Shanice and I serve on the Building & Media team! When I was actively looking for a new church home, I said I wanted to be involved in building and contributing to my community. Good Shepherd was already doing this, so I wanted to help. What I’d like people to know about serving is that it doesn’t take a huge time commitment, even the smallest contributions increase impact. Serving has given me the opportunity to meet other people in the church!”

Last week’s message was all about how small, faithful steps can lead to big change over time- even when it doesn’t feel dramatic in the moment. If you’ve ever wondered how real change happens or where God might be at work in your life, you can watch the full message online at: goodshepherdkc.com/online See you this Sunday at Good Shepherd!
