Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

The Grace Collective
2026-02-16 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Chicago) | Good Shepherd Verona Campus, 7291 County Road PD, Verona, WI, 53593, United States
Our first gathering will be Craft & Charcuterie Night—an evening designed to be relaxed, creative, and joy-filled. Bring a craft you’re already working on, try something new with supplies we’ll have on hand, enjoy good food, and most importantly, enjoy time together. No experience required. No expectations. Just community.
Whether you’re brand new to Good Shepherd or have been here for years, The Grace Collective is for you. Come solo, invite a friend, and be part of something new as we build this community together.
If you plan to attend, please text Holly Simon at 608-294-7615 so we can plan accordingly.
We can’t wait to gather, create, and connect—this is just the beginning.

Chili and Pies Welcome
We are always looking for new chefs to bring their special recipes to the chili competition and give our previous winners a run for their money! Contestants make 30, one cup servings and are given a table station to decorate as they would like. Judges make their way through the crowd sampling all the chili’s, before announcing the winners. It’s all in fun and a great place to enjoy the gift of feeding others!
In addition, the Pie Auction welcomes classic and exotic pies made with love and ready to sell! You bring your pie in a plate with your name and number on it or a disposable pan. You are also welcome to include a story and description to tempt the buyers.
