Through the Saint Paul Area Synod and ELCA Global Mission, Shepherd has the opportunity to partner with Bega Kwa Bega ("Shoulder to Shoulder") and the Kidamali congregation in Iringa, Tanzania.

Join us on September 24th for our
Fall Day of Service 2023

Mark your calendars for September 24th when we will be hosting our Fall Day of Service with one worship at 10am, a potluck meal followed by a multitude of service projects you can begin signing up for in the Narthex and on this page. Fun note we will be joined by a photographer/videographer from the ELCA churchwide office as Shepherd has been selected to help promote the God’s Work Our Hand’s movement. Please, note that means our Day of Service worship, potluck, projects, and volunteers will have pictures and videos taken for promotional purposes to encourage other congregations to doing the same amazing work we are doing during our Days of Service. See Sister Tashina or Pastor Renee with questions regarding the photographer/videographer. See Sister Tashina or Joy Team members with questions regarding the Day of Service projects.
