Service & Share Group
Help is always needed at Shepherd to maintain the campuses and create a welcoming environment for new visitors. Most Mondays are “maintenance days,” where those who have skills in painting, repairs, and construction are welcome. The Tuesday Group cleans the sanctuary and helps with mailings and light office work.
