The Shepherd’s Call
News From Pre-school Good Shepherd Sunday School
Welcome to pre-school Good Shepherd Sunday School. Good Shepherd Sunday School is Christ-centered, Bible-centered, and child-centered, with the added plus of introducing pre-schoolers to the sacraments and liturgy of our church. The aim of pre-school Good Shepherd Sunday School is to help the children develop a personal relationship with Jesus, our Good Shepherd, and to realize his unconditional love for them.
