High School Ministry at Good Shepherd
High School Ministry is deeply relational. Together we explore big questions about what it means to be a person of faith in an ever-changing world. We understand that holiness is experienced both in still quiet moments and large community experiences. Through conversations, stories, activities, and adventures, we ponder faith in our daily lives and in a global context. God is big, Jesus speaks Truth, the Spirit is moving. Come as you are, you are welcome here.
BLESSING FOR A TIME OF TRANSITION
Becoming is not easy...
You stretch into the unknown
You step out from what has been
Becoming is not linear...
It is excitement
It is grief
Becoming is not for the faint of heart...
It takes courage
It takes humility
Becoming is not felt by you alone...
Those nearest you feel the growing pains
The web of the world begins to twitch
As you approach this season of becoming
May you keep faith with your spirit.
Listening to the voice that calls you beloved,
Beyond any accomplishment or accolade
The Holy Creator knows what is still to blossom in you.
May you hold the moments gently
Breathe into them and let them breathe in you
Do not force the memory you have seen others make
The Spirit is doing a new thing in you.
May you notice the community around you
Harvesting the love, wisdom, and delight
That is offering itself up to you.
The Holy Teacher is unfolding around and within you.
