Lighting the Way: Putting Faith Into Action Through Advocacy

Faith that moves into the world.
This Epiphany season, Good Shepherd New York is partnering with The Telos Group to host a two-day workshop exploring how faith can move beyond belief into public life. Through teaching, prayer, panel conversations, and practical tools, participants will be invited to discern what they care most deeply about and how that call might take shape in the world.

Friday evening and Saturday, January 30-31

Open to anyone who would benefit.

Digital Church, 11am ET

Good Shepherd New York continues to post weekly online gatherings.

We continue to move toward each other through these digital gatherings, our digital kid’s program, and our other community initiatives.
