Serving You

How do we “learn to give the first place to Love”?

Short answer: “walking the talk”. Putting our faith into practice. Not only listening to the words of Jesus but doing them.

This is what we strive to do, making love real in our lives by sharing it with others in our community and in our world.

At Church of the Good Shepherd, you will find many opportunities to make a difference. Listed below are just some of our service projects in the K-W area:

House of Friendship

Our Thanksgiving food drive brings boxes of food for the residents of this men’s shelter in downtown Kitchener.

Habitat for Humanity

We provide a nutritious meal for the work crew building a new home for a family in the city.

Mary’s Place

Our “angel tree” donations in Advent brings carloads of small gifts and necessities for abused and homeless women and their children living in this shelter during Christmas.

St. John’s Community Kitchen (a.k.a. the Soup Kitchen)

Every Easter a team from our church helps to serve the special Easter dinner to the poor and homeless.

Marrillac Place

In the spring we get together to participate in the annual “Baby Bottle Campaign” to raise much-needed funds to support this home for young, single moms facing many challenges.

At Good Shepherd we also believe in “community partnerships”. We have partnered with organizations as diverse as arts groups, recreation centres and neighbourhood associations to pursue goals that help build a healthier and stronger community.

There is always much good work to do and many blessings that come from doing it – for others and ourselves. Be part of building the “New Jerusalem” right here in Waterloo Region!
