NEWS AND EVENTS

Meet, Greet, and Eat
Sunday, Sept 7 | 11:30a

Progressive Christians in NWA, ages twenty to thirty-ish, are invited to gather for a catered meal and conversation. If you’re seeking a community where faith and progressive values connect, this space is for you. Your RSVP helps with planning, but walk-ins are welcome.

Topics in Theology
Fellowship Hall | 9a

Join a weekly discussion that expands on themes developed in the Sunday Sermon Series, Faith in a Time of Reorientation. Because those gathered will explore a different theme each week, you can drop in any Sunday without needing to catch up.

Fall Sermon Series
Faith in a Time of Reorientation
Sundays | through Advent

This fall through Advent, each Sunday sermon introduces a new theme, bringing the gospel into dialogue with contemporary challenges. Topics will range widely—from artificial intelligence as neighbor to the intersection of sobriety and inclusion. These sermons will be timely, thought-provoking, and challenging, offering guidance for living faithfully amid upheaval and change.

Hymn Sing
Wednesdays | 6 to 7p

Hymn Sing isn’t a rehearsal or a performance; it’s simply time set apart to show up, open a hymnal, and sing with others. You don’t need a strong voice or any musical experience. Just a willingness to let the songs hold what they will. All welcome.

Open Doors
Wednesdays | 6 to 8p

A safe and welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ youth and families.

No registration required for a free community meal, followed by an evening of unstructured time. Just show up and be yourself.

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church acknowledges that Indigenous peoples were forced to leave their ancestral lands, including the Osage, Caddo and Quapaw Nations with ties to Northwest Arkansas. We further recognize that a portion of the Trail of Tears runs near our church facilities, and that the Cherokee, Choctaw, Muscogee (Creek), Chickasaw and Seminole Nations passed through what is now Arkansas during this forced removal. We acknowledge all Indigenous teachers, researchers and residents in our community and region today.
