Kids

Good Shepherd Kids is all about meeting, knowing and living for God. We focus on kids knowing three big things: the awe of God, the unconditional grace of Jesus and a daily friendship with the Holy Spirit. We are committed to walking with your family as you lead your child to love Jesus for their whole life. All volunteers (18+) are background checked and Ministry Certified.

Loved Ones

Loved Ones is a disability ministry reaching people of all ages; from babies all the way up to adults. We recognize that this can be a very broad spectrum, it is our desire to come alongside everyone.

It is our goal to have buddies/friends for all who need one-on-one, to have Respite Saturdays once a month, parent support groups and eventually, a weekly class on Saturday nights during church.

Good Shepherd School

Good Shepherd School is a private, evangelical school providing excellence in Christian education. The teaching and learning focuses on a quality, academic environment that values godly character and parental involvement. Our school ranges from preschool to eighth grade.

Welcome to The Gospel Project for Kids At Home, a resource designed to fuel family discipleship in your home in partnership with what kids are learning at church. Each week you will be provided with new content that relates with what is being taught in your church’s kids ministry.

Whether you have been discipling for years or are just getting started, The Gospel Project At Home is designed to give you a realistic, yet meaningful, starting point of one night a week family worship that you can build from by using additional content included here as well as by adding other resources.

Choose a day and a time for a weekly family worship experience that allows your family to be as consistent as possible to follow this simple plan:
Use these materials to engage in an experience that lasts about 10-15 minutes, or one that can be longer if you desire. All you need is The Gospel Project At Home and a Bible.   
The prayer guide includes two prompts—one for mornings and one for evenings—that you can use during the week to help direct prayer and start casual family conversations about God. 
Two activities related to what your family is talking about are suggested each week. One activity is for your family to enjoy and the other is for your family to serve in some way as you live out the gospel in your community.  

Week of August 19 & 20

​Read all or parts of John 11:1-44; 12:9-11 from your Bible or watch the Bible story video.

Can you imagine what Mary, Martha, and all the others were thinking when Jesus went to the tomb of Lazarus and said, “Remove the stone”? Lazarus had been dead four days, and by this time the body was starting to smell. Everyone thought Jesus had come too late to help, but Jesus has power over sin and death. When Jesus called Lazarus’ name, Lazarus was raised to life and came walking out of the tomb still wrapped in the grave clothes! 

 

This miracle shows us that Jesus has power over death. Soon after raising Lazarus from the grave, Jesus miraculously rose from the dead and left His own tomb. The death and resurrection of Jesus is the ultimate example of His power! 

 

The Bible says that the wages of sin is death. Sin separates us from God, and apart from Him we are spiritually dead. Just like Lazarus in the tomb, we are hopeless and cannot save ourselves. But God loved us so much that He sent Jesus—the One who has power over sin and death! He offers forgiveness for sinners and eternal life for those who are dead. According to Ephesians 2:5, anyone who believes in Jesus is “made alive” in Christ! 

 

When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, He showed that He has power over death. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead. He gives eternal life to those who trust in Him. 

 

Pray: Thank You, God, for loving us even when we are dead in our sins. Thank You for sending Jesus to defeat sin and death so that we can have life eternally by trusting in Him. We love You because You have shown so much love to us! Amen.

Sing Scripture

Mornings 

Thank God for the miracles we see throughout the Bible. Focus on a different miracle each day. What does this miracle show us about who God is and what He can do? 

 

Evenings 

Praise God for the forgiveness of sin that is made possible through Jesus. What does it mean to confess sin and seek forgiveness? How has Jesus defeated sin and death?

For Fun 

Take turns wrapping family members in bathroom tissue or bed sheets to resemble Lazarus in the tomb. Use a stopwatch to see how quickly each person can unravel the “grave clothes” from his or her body.  

 

To Serve 

Visit a cemetery to place flowers or volunteer to help clean the grounds. Discuss how death is a consequence of sin, but those who trust in Jesus do not have to fear death because Jesus has power over it!
