SUMMER CONNECTIONS
Summer is a time for new adventures. So join us at Christ Our Shepherd Lutheran Church for engaging adventures in special worship, camps, and creative serving opportunities.
Connecting in Jesus's pathway of Joy and Life.

small groups - connecting ministries
CONNECTING MINISTRIES & WEEKLY SMALL GROUPS: Barbara Anderson [email protected].
Welcome to the season of summer at COS. Although this is a popular time for travel, we continue to offer opportunities for meaningful and active connections. Would you like to subscribe to our COS emails? Please click here.
One really wonderful way to CONNECT your mind and spirit is to join a Small Group - this group can be a Fellowship Group such as ROMEOS (Retired Old Men Eating Out) or CANVAS Art Ministry, our casual Wednesday gathering in the Conference Room led by Pastor Miriam, or a G.I.F.T. (Growing in Faith Together) Group which meet both at the church and in homes. Each week, the Sunday lectionary text is discussed during TEXT TALK which meet on Sundays at 9:45am.

- TEXT TALK (9:45AM Conference Room) meets every Sunday to discuss the weekly lectionary text.
