Shepherding Network

Over 100 members of our congregation are "shepherds". These shepherds have ten persons to whome they show extra love, concern, and friendship. Each confirmed member of St. Paul's has a shepherd. The shepherds meet four times (February, May, August, and November) each year. Through contact with shepherds, St. Paul's members form warm, caring bonds with one another and, also, show love for our Savior.
