Music is important at First Good Shepherd. Services involve singing hymns and musical praise of all types.
HYMNS
On Saturday evening services we use hymns and liturgy from the Lutheran Service Book. On Sundays it is a blended service incorporating hymns and liturgy and contemporary music.
HANDBELLS
Youth in the congregation are invited to participate in our Handbells program directed by Marci Nuoffer. Adults are welcome to join Joyful Noise, which is the adult handbell ensemble. Contact Marci Nuoffer through the church office to find out more information.
