Great Shepherd Church

Last Sunday in Sunday School, Teacher Gabe and the kids had a meaningful time exploring Luke 22:7–10 together. The children did an amazing job discussing the context of Passover, and talked about the assignment Jesus gave to His disciples and how every detail was part of God’s plan 🙏🏻

Last Sunday in Sunday School Teacher Ruth taught about “God shows us how to forgive.”
The kids enjoyed a hands-on activity with baking soda and vinegar. Each child poured vinegar into a cup of baking soda, creating a big MESS! Teacher Ruth explained that, like the mess, we make mistakes, but Jesus has forgiven us because He died on a cross and came back to life again! A powerful reminder that God’s forgiveness is bigger than our messes!

“Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ forgave you”
Ephesians 4:32

On December 3, 2025, we were blessed to present our Christmas Cantata, “Hope in a Manger,” lifting our voices in praise and celebrating the good news of the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior, who came to bring HOPE and SALVATION to everyone.

We are also blessed to share this message with all the residents of the Cliffs at Eagle Rock in West Orange and The Oaks in Denville.

Luke 2:11
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord" (KJV/ESV)

UPDATE: Due to the current weather condition of snow accumulation and forecast of sleet later, our Worship Service for today is CANCELLED. Please take extra care in shoveling and cleaning up your area.

Thank you for your understanding and may Christ's peace keep you safe and joyful in His presence this Lord's Day!
Have a blessed Lord's Day!

After service, we came together for a Thanksgiving fellowship meal and we shared testimonies of what God has given us this year and the blessings we are most thankful for. Hearing each story reminded us that God’s faithfulness is present in every season 🙏🏽
