EYC Announcements

The EYC is invited to stay after church for lunch, games and our next "Relationships" discussion. Lunch is free-- we'll order from Jimmy John's--so bring you and your appetite! We'll finish up by 2pm, in time for you to go home and begin Superbowl festivities. See you there!

Warmth for Wake: February 11

We've been invited to join a Warmth for Wake work session on February 11 from 8:30am-12pm. Volunteers will split, collect and deliver wood to neighbors who use fireplaces and wood burning stoves to heat their homes. If you are interested in volunteering, please email Michelle Bullock.

We will have a covered dish potluck lunch for all EYC youth, families and volunteers after the 10:30am service. After lunch, the youth and younger siblings will head downstairs for a group activity and a movie, while the adults stay upstairs for a meeting. We will be looking for more volunteers to help us on Sunday nights and during special events, so adults, please come with your calendar in mind. *EYC starts early that night; youth may bring a change of clothes and stay at church for a movie and games until Parents Night Out begins.

On February 12, from 4pm-7pm, EYC is hosting a "Parents' Night Out" for families of children ages 0-5th grade. There is no charge and no donations will be taken; this is our gift to our parish! Chicken nuggets, green beans, apple sauce, rolls and dessert will be provided at 6pm. Please sign up by February 8th at 5pm by contacting Michelle Bullock. Please indicate how many children will be joining us, what time they'll be coming and if your child/children has any allergies. Thanks!

Passage Home, a non-profit dedicated to ending poverty and homelessness in Wake County, would like Church of the Good Shepherd to partner with them to provide after school tutors, mentors and a hot meal for school aged children and teenagers on Monday afternoons. Other opportunities to work with Passage Home (community garden, big brother golf program, etc.) are also in the works. Training will be provided on February 13. If you are interested, please contact Michelle Bullock.

Youth who can mentor/tutor other youth and adults or youth who can speak spanish are particularly needed.
