Gung Fu For Christ Classes
Every Monday, Wednesday of the month, 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
At the Church of the Good Shepherd, we know that teaching life skills requires a special blend of respect that is to be earned both from instructor and student alike. That's why we've partnerd with Steve Gonzales and "Gung-Fu for Christ" to develop this program.
Kids will do more than advance in belts. They will advance in character development. The most important skill we teach is how to relate skills learned in the class to life situations, from school etiquette to simple discipline around the home. Simple words like respect, commitment, patience and self-discipline, to mention a few, are often over looked in today's world. Our goal is to add these traits to every students life skills. While learning these skills self-confidence manifests. Even applying the knowledge of how your body works to sports activities is time well spent.
Adults will learn all of the above, while enjoying a great workout that burns off stress and teaches self-confidence and control.
Bibles and Bits for Jr. and Sr. High Girls
Every Monday, 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM, from 09/08/2008 to 12/16/2008
This ministry partners with horses to enrich the lives of Junior and Senior High girls through equine and human relationships. Horses are incredibly intuitive and by some miracle create a sense of closeness to all of creation, and the Creator. After an hour and a half of mucking stalls, grooming, riding horses, and learning tidbits of information about horse care and how to ride, we dive into the scriptures to learn what God is saying to us right here and now. Join us on Monday nights for an adventure in life, in the saddle, and in the Word.
