What are you still carrying? – April 10th, 2026

Most of us are carrying something we haven't been able to put down. Easter showed us a God who brings life into the places we've already given up on.

And this Sunday, we're embracing that hope.

ReStored is a series about what forgiveness, healing and new beginnings actually look like in real life. Not the easy version. The real, complicated, sometimes-feels-impossible kind. We can't wait to dig in with you.

This Sunday: New to Good Shepherd? Stick around after service. Pastor Chat is a relaxed way to say hello, ask questions, and start getting connected. And don’t forget to stop by the connections table on your way out for a welcome gift!

Ongoing: Maybe Sunday stirred something up. Maybe it didn’t fix anything. And that’s okay. If you’re carrying something heavy and hope still feels far away, you don’t have to figure it out alone. We have resources on our website to meet you wherever you are, and you can always reach out to a pastor anytime at the link below.

April 19: Are you a senior in the Class of 2026? We want to celebrate everything you’ve accomplished and everything ahead. Register to stay in the loop on scholarship opportunities, senior recognition, and important dates coming up.

April 22nd: What if the creation story has more to say about men, women, and the image of God than we’ve been taught? Join us for Digging Deeper: Genesis & Gender — a thoughtful, honest conversation about what Genesis may or may not be saying about gender, relationships, and God’s love for all of us. Led by Leanne Wasleski, April 22nd from 6:30–8:00pm at North Oak.

April 26th: Curious about what Good Shepherd is all about? Next Steps Xpress is a one-time, after-service experience designed to help you find your place here fast. We’ll share who we are, how to get involved, and a few simple ways to take your next step. Lunch is included, childcare is available, save your spot below!

June 15-17th: Good Shepherd’s first ever overnight camp is happening this summer, and your 4th–6th grader is going to love it. Three days of faith, friendship, and fun with games, water activities, worship, and leaders they already know and trust.

June 22nd–25th: Cool off from the summer heat during Snowball Mountain Challenge VBS June 22–25 at both campuses. Four evenings of worship, over-the-top games, snowy surprises, and big faith moments for kids. Whether your child is attending or you just want to serve, we’d love to have you. Get the details or sign up at the link below.

Your story matters: What’s God been doing in your life lately? We don’t want those stories to go untold. Whether it’s big or quiet, a celebration or just something you’ve been carrying that God met you in, we’d love for you to share it with us at the link below. Your story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

You may have quietly lowered your expectations without even realizing it. And that’s exactly where Easter starts. Last Sunday’s message is one we think is worth watching twice. The full experience is now available online for a limited time. Let us know what hit home for you in the comments!
