STEWARDSHIP COFFEE HOUR CONVERSATION:
Opening our Hearts to Evangelism
Sunday, November 1st, following online worship
Stay with us after worship to join the Rev. Trawin Malone, Sam Hensley and the Rev. Channing Smith for a discussion about The Hill and our call to evangelism in east Austin.
More than five years ago, Good Shepherd responded to a call to move beyond our Windsor campus to seek and serve Christ in all people in a new way, in southeast Austin on Woodland Ave. Hear how this mission has grown and learn how you can be part of answering the call to evangelism. Join us on our Facebook page or our website.

OPEN OUR HEARTS:
A CALL TO PRAYER FOR STEWARDSHIP
As we enter into this stewardship season, we invite our community to pray with and for one another. As we renew our financial commitment to Good Shepherd, we Open Our Hearts and faithfully intercede for the work that God has called us to do together.
As pledges are received, we are building a "cairn" on The Common at the Windsor campus. It serves as an outward and visible sign of our commitment to one another and God's work in our midst. As you walk the campus, notice the cairn and know that others in our community are praying with you.
