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.

SUNDAYS: TEXT TALK (9:45AM Conference Room) Meet every Sunday to discuss the weekly lectionary text.
WEDNESDAYS: Join us at 3pm in a casual small group setting led by Pastor Miriam. This group meets in the conference room.
G.I.F.T. (Growing in Faith Together) GROUPS meet regularly to spend time together learning, celebrating, serving, praying, and supporting each other. These groups meet in homes and at church, to foster community, discussion, and relationships. Contact Barbara to connect you with a small group.
ROMEO'S (Retired Old Men Eating Out) Meet the 1st Tuesday of each month to enjoy lunch, fellowship, and a special speaker. For July 2022 only, ROMEO's will meet on the second Tuesday. Currently, bagged Chick-Fila lunches are brought in for those who RSVP in advance.
